(Sioux Falls, SD) — A South Dakota man is accused of COVID relief fraud in a theft scheme. Brandon White allegedly posed as someone in another state with the same name so that he could get tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of CARES Act money during the pandemic. According to court documents, he used his own driver’s license but was eventually caught because the middle names didn’t match up. The 41-year-old who lived in Sioux Falls when the alleged crimes happened faces felony charges for identity theft and wire fraud.
