State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement yesterday.
Today State Auditor Shad White announced that Vernell Survillion, an owner of multiple rental properties, has pleaded guilty to one count of Fraudulent Statements.
Survillion submitted fraudulent RAMP (Rental Assistance for Mississippians Program) applications on behalf of tenants renting properties owned by him. The applications contained fraudulent information, including forged signatures, inflated monthly rental amounts, inflated months delinquent, and incorrect occupant information. These actions caused the Mississippi Home Corporation to make payments to Survillion.
“The dedicated team at the State Auditor’s Office will continue to work closely with prosecutors to achieve record results for taxpayers,” said State Auditor Shad White.
Survillion was prosecuted in the Quitman County Circuit Court. Survillion was sentenced to five years non-adjudicated probation and has been ordered to pay $500 in fines and $16,050 in restitution.
Suspected fraud can be reported to the Auditor’s office at any time by clicking the red button at www.osa.ms.gov or calling 1-(800)-321-1275 during normal business hours.

This is pretty typical. All landlords are scumbags. People who produce nothing and live off the production of the working class are scum
Painting with a wide brush there. I agree some are bad actors, but to say landlords produce nothing is false. They provide the housing that renters are willing to rent, so there's that. Depending on the rental agreement, landlords are also producing property maintenance, pay property tax, and they produce (pay for) certain utilities that the renter uses. Unless you think anyone who cannot afford to buy a house should live on the street, rental properties and landlords produce a much-needed option.
@10:59 I am saying that the proletariat should seize control of the housings and evict all landlords and occupy their own homes. Landlords and practitioners of usury (aka bourgeoisie) should be sentenced to hard labor in gulags.
Low hanger
Bolsheviks from Mississipi Free Press, Mississippi Today, work tirelessly as Urban Guerrillas to advance chaos and communism, even in Jackson, where blight drives Rukia's Bouncing Belly Brigades to shrilly shout fo free shit.
12:10, Yeah, because "the people" are all capable of maintaining their own residential property, right? Have you ever been to west Jackson?
10:59 - what the hell are you talking about. I need some of what you have been smoking.
Probation and a $500 fine for $16K fraud. For real?
"...has pleaded guilty to one count..."
This is an abomination and a mockery of justice.
@10:30 What an ignorant statement. Where should people who don't qualify for a mortgage intend to live if not in a rental property? I've rented multiple properties in my lifetime that I lived in. Not one landlord I've dealt with was a "scumbag." I know many rental property owners. Every single one is above board and tends to the needs of their tenants.
Another person on this board without a clue spewing ignorance.....
Take some time to learn about what a landlord is responsible for and you won’t need anything to smoke.
@10:44 you've shown that you're nothing more than a problem starter. I'm very glad I don't know you personally. You probably offer nothing but grief to anyone around you. A true problem.
