In May, Angella Muthoni Chegge-Kraszeski of North Carolina was indicted in an international scam that defrauded the West Virginia auditor's office out of millions of dollars. This week, five more people were indicted for their alleged roles. Prosecutors say they established shell companies in North Carolina, with names almost identical to legitimate vendors doing business with the state, then siphoned payments from West Virginia to a bank in Minnesota, and later funneled proceeds to accounts in Kenya.
