"Is that Cindy?"

A 41-year-old Slidell woman faces up to 10 years in prison after being convicted of stealing another woman's identity via social media and using fake credentials to obtain a high paying job at the spice company founded by the late entrepreneur Al Copeland.
Cindy T. White, who was found guilty this week by a St. Tammany Parish jury of theft of identity over $1,000, will be sentenced Tuesday (April 24) by Judge Scott Gardner of the 22nd Judicial District, North Shore District Attorney Warren Montgomery's office reported.
During her opening statement in White's trial, Assistant District Attorney Casey Dieck described the credentials that White had listed on her resume, including a bachelor's degree from Tulane University and a master's degree from Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Pointing to the defendant in the courtroom, Dieck said, "That's not this person. This person stole the victim's hard work and used it to get a six-figure salary and benefits to boot," the District Attorney's Office reported in a news release issued Friday.
The crime came to light in April of 2016 when a Diversified Foods employee contacted the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office regarding White, who had provided a resume with fraudulent social security and driver's license numbers to obtain an executive level job. White had been hired in September 2015 as a human resources manager at the company's Covington office at a salary of $95,000 per year. Five months later, she was promoted to senior human resources director and her annual pay was raised to $105,000, the District Attorney's Office reported.
Company officials became suspicious when White had trouble "performing duties within the educational level and experience listed on her resume" and when she began delegating many tasks assigned to her, according to the DA's news release.

Probably plenty of similar scammers doing just fine in city, county, state, and federal government gigs.
Just how hard is that job that she could do it so well without the required sheepskins?
Just shows what BS all that executive stuff is.
She was hired in September of 2015, 5 months later she got a promotion and a raise and then the crime came to light in April of 2016. Sounds like she could not handle the promotion.
Sounds like she could not handle the promotion.
The Peter principle:
People tend to rise to their level of incompetence.
LOLOLOL Perfect
And she’d have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for those darn kids!
I bet that she lost the Penske file.
So, a citizen who steals identities for gain goes to court and thousands of Illegals who do it get benefits they aren’t eligible to receive - gotta love our system!
"Is that Cindy?"
Kind of like an illegal who is a violent felon gets a pardon and a citizen is stuck with the conviction.
