Shannade Clermont has been indicted by a grand jury and is facing three felony charges after using a dead man's credit card to spend thousands. Clermont's official charges are wire fraud, access device fraud and identity theft. If convicted, she will be required to forfeit any and all of the goods she purchased with the stolen credit card and pay back the rest of the money.
Shannade is due back in court later this month.
Shannade Clermont, 24, who is known for appearing on "Bad Girls Club" and modeling for Kanye's Yeezy season 6 campaign with her twin sister Shannon, was arrested for allegedly spending $20,000 on a credit card stolen from a dead man.
The feds claim Clermont allegedly used the card “of a man she had visited for a prostitution date and who was found dead in his apartment the next morning from a drug overdose.” They say she used the card to buy plane tickets, thousands of dollars in clothes and other merchandise, along with paying her phone and rent bills.
The man died from an overdose of cocaine and fentanyl, but it's unclear whether he died before or after Clermont was seen on surveillance leaving his East 53rd Street apartment the night before he was discovered. Text messages were linked to the man and Clermont, including one from her that read, "I want to see you for the amount we agreed on. So you tell me. Let’s do $400."
Clermont was charged with one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, one count of access device fraud and aggravated identity theft. She's facing decades if convicted.
