I will spare you the photo of a crying white woman, repentant after being held liable for her misdeeds. Use your imagination (she looks exactly as you would imagine) or read the links if you are interested. She received a serious sentence for a serious crime.
Sherri Papini, the California woman who admitted to faking her own her kidnapping in 2016, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison.
Probation officers and Papini’s attorney had recommended a month in custody and seven months of supervised home detention. But senior US district Judge William Shubb said he opted for an 18-month sentence in order to deter others.

Papini accused two women she described as “Hispanic” women in an SUV for holding her at gunpoint for 22 days, in which she was hanging out with her boyfriend.
Whether she committed this crime for filthy lucre or had some other strange motivation I will leave to the gentle reader. She received $49,000 from GoFundMe. Additionally, she defrauded the State of California for $30,000 in victim assistance. The plot is so bizarre, IMO there is more than just money involved. I mean, if I were committing a crime, I would keep it on the “down low,” not something that attracted headlines, ongoing Federal investigation and public scrutiny. I don’t like how tfg throws around the word “hoax” as the goto accusation for just about everything, because this is what we are talking about when we use the term.
Papini initially said her captors were two Latina women – an accusation that coincided with Donald Trump’s election as president and a flurry of hostile political rhetoric directed at individuals from Mexico and Central.

… Twenty-two days later, on Nov. 24, 2016, Papini reappeared with various bindings on her body and injuries, including a “brand” on her right shoulder, and claimed that she had been abducted by two Hispanic women at gunpoint, held against her will, and that she had been abused by her captors.

According to court records, from 2017 through 2021, Papini’s request for victim assistance funding caused approximately 35 payments totaling over $30,000 to be issued by mail, including to her therapist and then the ambulance provider that transported her after her return on Thanksgiving Day 2016...

Papini was ordered to pay $309,902 in restitution for losses incurred by the California Victim Compensation Board, the Social Security Administration, the Shasta County Sheriff’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Anyway, I usually don’t like to ascribe racism as a motivation unless it is pretty clear. She certainly did not accuse two white women, dressed in spandex workout gear and tennis hats with their ponytails pulled through the back driving a late model white Lexus SUV.
