Convicted of Fraud, Ugo Madubuike’s Facebook Friends Predominantly Black

I only mention it because Beck's crowd was so overwhelmingly white.

A former employee of the state Division of Youth and Family Services was sentenced in federal court today to three years and four months in prison for stealing $800,000 by filing hundreds of phony federal tax returns and claiming refunds using the personal information of clients he pulled from state files.

Ugochukwu Madubuike, 30, of Orange [NJ], pleaded guilty in April to mail fraud, conspiracy to pass forged checks and lying to the U.S. Treasury Department.

Madubuike was a family services specialist with DYFS from June 2004 to November 2007. He admitted stealing confidential information from files to submit fraudulent tax returns to the Internal Revenue Service.

The returns resulted in more than 200 refund checks that were sent to addresses to which Madubuike had access. He forged the signatures of the payees on those checks, according to the charges, and deposited the checks into bank accounts controlled by him and a co-conspirator, Onyinye M. Nwokeji, 27, of Irvington.

NTTAWWT. It's just something I noticed. I consider it likely that he was driven to this act of desperation by his inability to get typical white people to friend him.
