Rachel Dolezal, who posed as black, accused of welfare fraud

[roadmaster]

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A former NAACP leader in Washington state whose life unraveled after she was outed as a white woman pretending to be black has been charged with welfare fraud.
Rachel Dolezal, who legally changed her name to Nkechi Diallo in 2016, was charged this week with theft by welfare fraud, perjury and false verification for public assistance, Spokane news station KHQ-TV reported Thursday.


She illegally received $8,747 in food assistance and $100 in child care assistance from August 2015 through November 2017, court documents said.
An investigation started in March 2017 when a Washington state investigator received information that Diallo had written a book. The investigator reviewed Diallo’s records and found that she had been reporting her income as usually less than $500 per month, court documents said.
A subpoena for her self-employment records, which included copies of her bank statements, showed Diallo had deposited nearly $84,000 into her bank account between August 2015 and September 2017, without reporting it to the Department of Social and Health Services.

The woman lived as a total fraud, some here like to say it doesnt matter that she was caucasian and profited from stating she was black. If it didnt matter the NAACP wouldnt have pushed her out of the job

She already had her 15 minutes of fame. We should not be exposed to her again.
