Leo Felton

For the Rhodesian/Australian rugby league footballer of the 2000s, see Leon Felton.

Leo Vincelette Felton (born 1970, Silver Spring, Maryland) is an American white supremacist of African American descent[1] who was convicted of bank robbery and plotting to build a bomb in Boston to attack Jewish-Americans, colloquially referred to as the 2002 white supremacist terror plot.[2] Felton was released from prison in 2019 after serving 17 years [citation needed].

Early life

Leo Felton's father, Calvin Felton (b. 1930), was a black architect, while his mother, Corinne Vincelette (b. 1931), was a white voice and diction professor who became involved in the civil rights movement.[3] His parents divorced when he was two, and he was raised in Gaithersburg, Maryland.[4]

Criminal activities

Felton spent 11 years (1990–2001) in prison for the assault of a taxi driver[5][6] during a road rage incident. His prison sentence was extended for attacking two black inmates.[7] In prison, he became an organizer for white supremacist groups, organizing book reviews and exercise while obscuring his ancestry. He found inspiration from the White Order of Thule and read Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium, which led him to believe that race was spiritual instead of biological.[2][8]

Out of prison and married, Felton began an affair with Erica Chase, a 21-year-old white supremacist.[9] Felton robbed a bank with a friend from prison and forged money in order to buy materials to create a fertilizer bomb. It is unclear what the target was to be. An attendant at a donut shop spotted a counterfeit $20 Chase tried to pass her. She alerted an off-duty Boston police officer, who then arrested Felton and Chase. Felton was sentenced to 27 years in prison in 2002 for bank robbery, conspiracy to commit bank robbery and other crimes.[citation needed]

Felton was released from federal custody on December 12, 2020.[citation needed]

Personal life

Felton changed his last name from Felton to Oladimu in 2008.[citation needed] He is an Odinist.[10]
