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?
Never let a crisis go to waste. Steal, steal, steal.
This shows the morality of the majority of indigenous Mississippians.
Goodness, this is getting worse and worse.
The indigenous people of Mississippi primarily include the Choctaw, Chickasaw, and Natchez tribes.
Strangely enough when State Auditor Pickering talked about a "culture of corruption" in Mississippi when he was down on the Gulf Coast talkign to the Rotary the general populace was not who he was talking about.
(During the MDMR scandal)
Wlbt has two articles today regarding Jody Owens and his self-proclaimed accomplishments.
He’s really going out of his way to create positive headlines and create the illusion that he is a good person. I really hope they put his ass under the jail. He’s such an entitled ponk.
‘Best year yet’
Ok. More please.
Did WLBT decide they needed more 'both sides' after their recent headline:Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens says his office had its “best year yet” in 2025,
‘How do you defend that?’ Attorneys weigh in on DA Owens’ motion to dismiss in Jackson bribery case
Shaun Yurtkuran, a former assistant district attorney under Owens’ predecessor, Robert Shuler Smith, says the defense likely won’t hold water, and it’s akin to a child telling his parents that his brother made him do it.
“They took him drinking, he did a bunch of body shots, and then went to a strip club, and that forced him to commit bribery, and not only commit it, but be kind of the organizer of it?” Yurtkuran said. How do you defend that?”
Shad only goes after the easy targets. Someday it might catch up with him. They're all crooked as rattle snakes.
