Who’s who in veteran fraud case?
A conflict over campaign cash leaves Virginians
Virginians tricked into giving money to a fraudulent charity still don’t know precisely who pocketed the donations intended for needy veterans. They also don’t know who will seek justice on their behalf.
The man who ran the U.S. Navy Veterans Association under the name “Bobby Thompson” was arrested this week in Portland, Ore., with three wallets, each with a different set of identification papers. One fake Canadian ID under the name “Alan Lacey” led federal agents to a storage unit with still more credit reports, birth certificates and a suitcase stuffed with nearly $1 million in cash.

Anyone writing about this and using the Virginia AG’s name, add he ‘finally’, after almost a year plus later, and ‘very reluctantly’, others had quickly givin any campaign contributions up right after this all broke, donated the funds after getting elected stashing them into a bank account and not carrying forward on any investigations while other states and their AG’s had already started investigations which moved into indictments! is girlfriend was finally arrested at the Charlotte NC, about a year or so back, airport has been tried and convicted and is serving time now for her part as the treasurer of the scam.
