Erlene King, former treasurer for a Brooklyn Borough President candidate who lost in the 2021 primary, faces charges for allegedly defrauding the Campaign Finance Board.
The U.S. Attorney's Office claims that King used straw donors and submitted forged documents in an attempt to fraudulently secure $400,000 in matching funds.
While the candidate remains unnamed, it was revealed that King worked for Anthony Jones, who finished 8th in the 2021 primary with only 3% of the vote.
King allegedly acquired fraudulent donations to induce the NYC Campaign Finance Board to provide matching funds, involving individuals who might be victims of identity theft.
