Neo-Nazi Group Leader Convicted of Threatening, Intimidating People
William A. “Bill” White, the suspected leader of the neo-Nazi group the American National Socialist Workers Party, was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison and three years of supervised release on April 12. The Department of Justice issued a press release, stating that White was convicted for threatening two people and attempting to intimidate litigants in a federal housing discrimination lawsuit.
In December, a jury found White guilty of threatening a Citibank employee who he mistakenly thought was working on a financial dispute with his accounts. White obtained the employee’s office and home phone numbers and e-mail address, and left her threatening messages.
White was also convicted of intimidating African-American tenants, who he tried to prevent from testifying against their landlord in a discrimination case. In 2007, he mailed the tenants letters, using the letterhead of the White National Socialist American Working Party. He also sent copies of racist magazines to the children of one of the victims.
In response to the case, Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez for the Civil Rights Division said that “Our nation will not tolerate the acts of individuals who, fueled by bigotry and hate, threaten or intimidate individuals because of their race.”
