It's bizarre that writer Doug Shadel would choose to hide the name of an identity thief who defrauded numerous people and who upended lives by stealing names, social security numbers, and financial account information.
Shadel wrote about the identity thief for AARP Magazine and Reader's Digest, but gave her the pseudonym Alice Lipski. But why conceal the identity of an identity thief? Was he concerned about invading her privacy?
So, just for the record, Alice Lipski is actually Krista Dawn Ainsworth. She was convicted in 2015 in King County, Washington. Her two accomplices, also referred to in the story, but not with their full names, were Brian Fisher and Kenneth Reep.
