According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, 75-year-old Henry J. White, Jr. and 69-year-old Patricia A. White collaborated in submitting fraudulent claims using the names of corporate entities with which Henry White had no legitimate affiliation. Authorities allege he submitted applications under penalty of perjury, falsely representing himself as authorized to collect unclaimed property owed to those corporations.

After the funds were disbursed by various state treasuries and mailed to the pair’s shared Connecticut residence, the two allegedly deposited and cashed the checks. Federal prosecutors state the proceeds were used for personal expenditures, including payments on their jointly owned home.
