Fallout and fraud tale ties to Wong records case
A Sacramento report details a convoluted postwar fraud saga involving Lesa Wong and a fake cabbage load from 1939 to 1959. Inspectors traced a damaged check, fake fallout plots, and delayed claims across Los Angeles and state offices, with Wong’s death delaying action until a legislative session. A separate Fresno National Guard note shows Lt Col Roy Green Jr. presenting a family dog to replace a pet killed by a truck.
