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.
This news surfaces after Dolezal was the star of her own documentary on Netflix documenting her life and her family.
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 money came from authoring her memoir, "In Full Color," speaking engagements, soap making, doll making, and the sale of her art, according to the case file.

I'm actually surprised the SJW's haven't roasted her for "cultural appropriation".
too funny... LOL
she is a fraudster no matter how ya slice it.
It's all just "Black" v. "White" ….again !
But she does "Feel"...maybe like a women ?
Who knows these days.
Just another Chimook.
She's an idiot that seriously needs to STFU.
She will likely soon be starting a GOFundMe to pay for her legal bills for being caught for Welfare Fraud.
As they say "Oh what a tangled web we weave......" Now it would seem to be clear why she claims to be black.
And of course, being as she claims to be black, she is obviously a Christian as well. Right?
