Letitia James’ ‘fugitive’ grandniece at center of NY AG’s bank fraud rap goes on fib-filled Facebook rant
NY Post ^

Posted on 10/15/2025 3:34:08 PM PDT by TigerClaws

Letitia James’ fugitive grand-niece at the center of the federal indictment against the New York attorney general posted a boastful, fib-filled Facebook post after her extensive criminal record became national news.

“For all inquiring minds no I’m not in trouble havent been in years at all,” wrote Nakia Thompson, 36.

She claimed her extensive rap sheet dating, back nearly 20 years, including two charges of assaulting cops, was “OLD AS HELL” and “fabricated.”

“Very much a active mother to my children everyday, work everyday, and very much in college and about to graduate with my B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice,” she wrote, omitting that she was arrested for felony larceny with her kids in tow as recently as 2019.

@@

Thompson has been living at one of James’ Norfolk houses since 2020, and is “an absconder for willfully avoiding supervision by her probation officer” in North Carolina, according to the state Department of Corrections.

“She was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions for assault and battery and trespassing. Due to the level of the offenses, the district attorney has designated this case non-extraditable,” they added.

“She faces arrest if located in North Carolina, and possible activation by the court of the suspended sentence.”

The criminal case against James comes down to whether Thompson paid rent after moving into the property. In mortgages docs, James listed the house as a “second home” where she would be the primary resident.

However, prosecutors say she has been collecting rent on the property.

James denied the allegations. Thompson told the New York Times she did not pay rent while living in the house.

But in her New Yorl public filings James claimed over 20k in rental income from the “Brooklyn rental property.”

So on which document did she lie?

Let’s see the James tax returns….

The Post comment section is lol amusing.

"The criminal case against NY AG James comes down to whether Thompson paid rent after moving into the property."

Why should it matter whether she paid rent or not. The point is that James claimed it was her "principle residence" when she took out the mortgage, yet she hasn't resided there since she bought the place.

Another point is that The New York Post reported in an April article that before her great niece moved in, a “husband and wife” lived in the $240,000 house for about four years, said one neighbor, who has lived near the property for 18 years and asked not to be identified."

Did they pay rent to her? She's owned the house since 2020, and someone's been living there the whole time, but it hasn't been her.

Letitia James listed this Virginia house as her ‘principal residence’ — but neighbors say they’ve never seen her as NY AG faces mortgage fraud probe

“Sociology is the scientific study of society, social behavior, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. “ Translation: common sense. She went to college to learn common sense, she paid to learn something living never taught her.

Not too difficult to confirm her status. A few phone calls from the proper authorities to other authorities should confirm her lies.

This niece needs to answer questions under oath. Send investigators to question her to start.

The place in question is in Norfolk.

However, where the brooklyn issue might come up is the one about rent control. I don’t know how any of that works but supposedly she violated some rules that govern rent control.

Good point and post. Norfolk.

Didn’t see that on the New York list.

I’m expecting another indictment over the other property and likely a 3rd or 4th for the tax fraud that also likely took place.

This ended up being a long post, and here’s why-I have been writing vignettes of my memories and life for nearly twenty years on FR and saving them to my hard drive in a folder. I figure someday, I might not remember them. (They are already getting a bit mixed up...which happens! I don’t know if my recollection of the book described below is accurate, but it is how I remember it). People around me are beginning to disappear, as happens at this stage of life. It makes me feel more reflective. So I use the excuse of Free Republic to describe experiences, and then I save them for later. In that light, I wouldn’t be insulted if anyone gave the post a pithy “TL/DR” post...:) Basically, I write them down for myself and post them in case anyone likes to read these kinds of things.


When you mentioned “Sociology” in your post, it brought back a flurry of memories.

When I went to college back in the early Eighties after I got out of the Navy, I was a Chemistry major, and took a sociology course to fulfill a requirement. Didn’t know anything about it.

My professor was a young, hip, edgy guy. My nose for those people was not as well developed back then in my early twenties, and I saw him as...a young, hip, edgy guy. And in fairness-I do not believe he had Marxist leanings. He really wanted to teach, and he wanted to engage the kids fresh out of High School.

He tried hard to engage our class, and we stubbornly refused. He tried every trick. I heard from another class that he came into their class with tight, body length black leathers on, and big dogs on chains. In retrospect, I believe he was digging so far down to get young men and women to partcipate, and they just weren’t interested. The majority of them, like me, had to take something, and chose that.

One day, he came into class late, and we were all sitting there waiting. He sat down at his desk and just looked at us. I recall it was the whole class. Just silence. Him looking at us, and we, either looking back or doing some other classwork, staying silent.

I felt bad for the guy. (I had just got out of the Navy, and had more life experience than most of those students in that class. And I really wanted to be there. I got the impression most of them didn’t, and if they did, they hid it well.

I had seen people in distress, and he was a troubled man. Only years later can I see it even more clearly, and why. But back then, I just felt it.

After class I went up to talk to him after everyone had left, and without any preamble, asked him “Are you doing okay?”

He looked at me silently for a long second, then, exhaled a sigh. And then he told me. He was despondent and depressed because he couldn’t teach. He couldn’t figure out how to connect with them, and I think it must have been occurring to him that he had no talent at all as a teacher, and he didn’t know how to handle it. He seemed very desperate.

I told him in as kindly a voice as I could, telling it to a youthful, handsome man with dark hair and dark eyes, fifteen or twenty years my senior, and in a position of authority over me, that maybe he should consider exploring a different career. He was that despondent.

He said, “Yeah. I should.”

At that time, I didn’t understand it. I thought he was a good teacher and was trying hard, and he seemed like a nice, sharp, guy. I thought he had everything going for him, and it baffled me.

45 years later, I can remember some of that class and what I thought of the subject material, but it pales in comparison to my recollection of this troubled man who, with nearly my whole life behind me, not recognizes he must have been undergoing a mid-life crisis of some kind.

So, Sociology.

I was initially very intrigued by the subject matter, and was attracted to me. Planning. Creating things with forethought to work better. Formally organizing the living environment of a population of people.

It sounded great. What kinds of things do you need in a town? Sewage? Water? Roads? Houses? That kind of thing. This was awesome. Do people really do this kind of thing, plan these kinds of thing? And I began to wonder why so many things in life seem to just be there with little forethought. Many of them work okay, but many don’t.

But still I was interested. And the book we were required to read for the class was an interesting one: it was called “Walden II”. It is a novel, written by the famous B.F. Skinner about a utopian planned society of a relatively small, invited population, where the adaptation to the community and participation in it by the characters is followed.

I was not well read at that time with the likes of Thoreau. But I knew of his “Walden” and got the reference. As I read it, with each passing page, I was seeing the science of Sociology in less and less of a favorable light. I don’t recall in detail the journey from the beginning to the end, but I completely got the message. Planning necessitated control. And I didn’t know it then, but as I watched human life as I aged, I came to understand that the human race often has a dark side where it interfaces with the concept of “Control”.

And as I became more well read, I could draw on things like F.A. Hayek’s observations in his brilliant and famous book: “The Road to Serfdom” to more fully comprehend that dark side.

In nearly every human endeavor, people will want to accomplish an end in quite different ways. Someone always ends up unhappy or dissatisfied.

In that book I was reading for the class (Walden II) several of the characters decided this utopian, planned society was not for them, and by the end, the people who have lived with them for a year or so are working out why some of them decide not to stay, and the people who decided not to stay are pondering the reasons they left.

I realized that, reading the book, I had intellectually followed the paths of the people who left the planned community, and for much the same reasons they had left. Perhaps of the mindset of one of the characters was similar to my own, and he was also just out of the military as I was. Looking at the character now, I could see that he (like I) had spent the last several years in the military, a “planned environment” if there ever was one.

I found it interesting, in the end, that I had followed the same path one of the characters in the book had. That was a very valuable experience to me, reading that book.

I did download the audiobook version of Walden II, but I couldn’t listen to it. I was older, and after listening to it for about an hour, suddenly realized that the book couldn’t teach me any more lessons, and the next seven hours would be listening to people talk about how wonderful it was to have everything planned out. I stopped and never went back and finished it.

Who needs that? We have politicians, the media, pundits, and professors telling us how great it would be to have things like planned cities and planned economies, filling our ears and eyes with such volume and mass, that it was repulsive to contemplate wasting my time finishing that audiobook.

In the end, I knew the ending anyway. I had read the book already. But I also with my eyes in real time saw Cuba, Korea, the Soviet Union, and all the other countries behind the Iron Curtin. I saw what they were. And I saw what we were. And I wouldn’t have had to read that Sociology book assigned to me in that class to understand the lesson.

I love that movie!

My wife and I went to Mallorca on our Honeymoon, and in the hotel on night, the big TV in the lobby was showing “The Blues Brothers” in Spanish!

It was...memorable...:)
