KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Kansas City, Missouri woman pleaded guilty in federal court today to a Social Security and bankruptcy fraud scheme.
Carol L. Dille, 67, pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Howard F. Sachs to one count of wire fraud and one count of bankruptcy fraud.
Dille married Gerald A. Sanders in November 1988; they separated in 2009. Dille admitted today that she filed an online application for retirement insurance benefits in September 2013, using the identity – including the name, date of birth, and Social Security number – of Sanders.
Dille, representing herself as Sanders, provided her own address, phone number, and email address as contact information. Dille, while still representing herself as Sanders, indicated benefits should be direct deposited into the bank account of “Alliance of Divine Love Chapel 1202,” of which she was the sole authorized signor on the account.
