Feds file new fraud and money laundering charges against Wanda Greene

New fraud charges — in addition to previous charges related to improper use of county credit cards — have been filed against former Buncombe County Manager Wanda Greene. In an indictment, federal officials allege that Greene “defrauded Buncombe County by misappropriating approximately $2.3 million of Buncombe County funds to purchase whole life insurance policies for herself, her son Michael Greene, and eight other County employees, and to purchase an annuity for another county employee who did not qualify for a whole life insurance policy.”
