State Auditor Shad White issued the following statement.
Today State Auditor Shad White announced that Kenjarell Thomas, an inmate, has pleaded guilty to one count of Identity Theft, one count of Fraud, and one count of Wire Fraud.
Thomas, while serving time in prison, fraudulently applied for unemployment benefits using multiple other prisoners’ personal information and used his mother’s address to receive payments.
“My office found that during COVID, Mississippi handed out over half a billion dollars in illegal unemployment compensation payments,” said Auditor White. “We will continue to find as many of these fraudsters as possible and hold them accountable for their crimes.”
Thomas was sentenced by the Hinds County Circuit Court to 15 years to serve and ordered to pay a total of $37,470.53 in restitution.
Kingfish note: Thomas wasn't just serving time in prison.
Thomas's indictment for the fraud had fifteen counts of fraud, identify theft, making false statements, and fraud.
Keep in mind manslaughter is a 50% crime and fraud is a 25% crime.

Wait-
Aren't all democrats entitled to recieve unemployment benefits?
Way to go, Shad! Only 13,000 more fraudsters to go in recouping that half-billion in COVID relief.
The level of stupid turned out into society is appalling. This sense of entitlement and handouts is becoming a way of life.
But the commercials show that they don't need any financial help.
Wait-
We have an IMBECILE here. While attempting to be funny, YOU do not know the "I before E except after C rule". I'll take you to class for a moment, it is receive not "recieve" lmao!!!!!
So, he is bragging about getting a plea that accounts for .00007% of the fraud he claims occurred?
Now go after all the PPP loan fraud.
But were you really "lmao" there, @9:42? With your brilliant spelling critique? Man, you really got him though. Sick burn, bro.
Almost as big as the welfare fraud that operated under shad's nose for a couple of years.
“My office found that during COVID, Mississippi handed out over half a billion dollars in illegal unemployment compensation payments,”
Now why would the liberals do that?
