A woman imprisoned for life after helping murder her mother allegedly led a group of 13 people to defraud California out of at least $2 million.
A Corona woman serving a life sentence for helping murder her mother in 2001 was charged with leading a group that defrauded the state out of millions in unemployment insurance benefits.
The Department of Justice charged 13 defendants, five of whom were arrested, for the scheme to use stolen identities and defraud California, out of $2 million, mostly in pandemic-related unemployment relief, and mostly in the second half of 2020. The indictment charges all defendants with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud, which can carry a maximum sentence of 30 years of prison.
According to the indictment, they are alleged to have committed 150"overt acts" including stealing personal identifying information, some of which was given to them by a prison official working for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. The official remains unnamed. Many of the defendants were charged with 31 counts of bank fraud and seven counts of aggravated identity theft counts. According to the DOJ, Natalie Le Demola, 37, who has been serving a life sentence for the murder of her mother since her conviction in 2005, supposedly led the ring which included her close friend, 32-year-old parolee Neosha Plummer.
According to the indictment, the group used the names, birth dates and Social Security numbers of people who were not eligible for unemployment benefits.
