How did Rashia Wilson’s early life of stealing lead to her becoming the ‘Queen of Tax Fraud’?
But the government started calling me the queen of tax fraud. Connections like IRS, DMV, postal, workers. Your refund will be direct deposit. $100,000 on this card. $100,000 on that card. Rags to riches.
But you got to stop doing the illegal stuff.
I couldn't. I couldn't. I was just on my own, like, all the way to, what, 14? 11 to 13, I'm stealing cars. I'm going to airports, like, jumping into cars at the rental car companies. The Keys used to be in their nation, and we used to, like, take the cars and go sell them to, like, local drug dealers. I'm stealing clothes out of the mall. I'm stealing out of Walmart. I'm just doing it all, like, before I was even 15.
How are you stealing out of, don't they have the clips and like, how are you stealing clothes?
So at first we used to just like go in the mall and like rip the beepers off and then put it in a bag. Then they started getting like more events where they made the devices thicker so I couldn't break it. So we started using like little clippers, like wire cutters. Then they got more events so we couldn't use the wire cutters. So I started making a beeper bag. It was like a regular mall bag and you rip it open and you lay it flat on the ground. I mean, flat on the ground and you get some duct tape and aluminum foil and you layer the bags and you close, you seal the bag back together so you can walk in the mall and it looks like you got a mall bag full of items, but it's really the thickness from the duct tape.
And we used to just drop the clothes at the back, roll the bag up like that and walk off and it don't alarm.
How long did you do that?
I did that till I was... So 14, I end up going to a juvenile program for stealing. So I went to a juvenile program for stealing cars, stealing clothes, like just stealing, period. And they sentenced me to eight months. And I found out I was pregnant in there. So I got out. So now I'm a single mother at the age of 14. And I got a fee for my baby, so I got out, and I was back stealing. Because now—
Well, when you say they sent you to—I mean, what, did you get arrested? I got
arrested, yes.
How did that
happen? One time, I got arrested at this teen dance. And I had this little Mustang, and it was like a drop-top Mustang that I had got from the mall—I mean, from the— The airport. And we went to the teen dance and everybody like, oh, well, the police out there. But I'm like, shit, OK, ain't got nothing to do with me. But I go out there and they basically set us up. They was really there to get the Mustang and the driver of the Mustang.
Which was you. What was it, stolen? Where'd you get the Mustang?
From the airport. You know, it had the keys in there. It was new Mustangs. You talking drop tops. I'm 14 years old riding in a rental car that I swear mine, because I used to get them and sell them to the local people, like the dealers and stuff in Tampa until you only get like three days before they put an APP out on the car. So I go out there and I'm like, they not out there for me. Walked up to the car. They bum rushed me, took me to jail. And that was my last theft because they booked me and I did eight months.
And that's when you found out you were pregnant?
Yes. Worst eight months ever. Like, oh, God, the worst eight months ever.
Did you have the baby when you were locked up?
No, I had the baby. I got out when I was like 36 weeks and you have a baby 40 weeks. So I had one more month.
You have to make money to pay for to raise a kid.
Right. So guess what I did? I was back in the mall. I was I wasn't in the people cars, though, because I'm not going to get no grand theft auto. But it was like this. Growing up, they'd be like, you go big or you go home. So you got a petty theft and you have a grand theft. We all know grand theft is a felony. Petty theft is a misdemeanor. So it was like, OK, well, I can go to the mall and I can get under $300 worth of clothes for me and my baby and we'll be good. And then I'm like, no, if I can get $500, why not get $500? So it was like the greed in me and the-
Didn't you just say 500 is a felony?
