Erlene King, charged with wire fraud, allegedly used fake donors and forged documents to defraud NYC's Campaign Finance Board of nearly $400,000.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, King conspired with others to submit fraudulent contributions and falsified records to meet the CFB's strict eligibility requirements.
They allegedly created a network of 'straw donors'—individuals reimbursed for supposed contributions—using mobile payment platforms like CashApp to funnel money.
In one case, King sent $1,110 via CashApp to 'Individual #1,' who redistributed it among three others for them to falsely donate under their names.
