In early October, Nick Shirley, an American digital creator and conservative activist with more than seven million followers across social media, published a video alleging food stamp fraud in Seattle. The video claimed that Lam’s Seafood, a local Asian grocery store, had tried to charge $120 for a single can of Spam and a small package of sushi. The store denied the accusation, hired an attorney and sent Shirley a cease-and-desist letter. More than a month after the store’s denial, on November 12, 2026, Shirley posted a correction on X. He admitted he had found no evidence that the store took part in fraud, said the charge was actually for a whole case of Spam, and deleted his posts and videos on the matter.
