Kenyan woman admits role in auditor scam

A Kenyan native admitted in federal court Monday that she did the legwork in an international scheme that redirected a $920,000 payment intended for a state vender to a dummy corporation. Angela Chegge-Kraszeski, 33, who grew up in Kenya but has lived in Raleigh, N.C., for the last few years, pleaded guilty to mail and wire fraud. In May, the case made headlines in West Virginia, when state Auditor Glen Gainer III's office discovered that three payments totaling roughly $2 million had not reached their intended destinations.
