This sounds criminal.





I think theft of services should encompass it nicely.

Hmm... I need to go and google that then. I thought that act was neutered and the court determined it was just hunky-dory to play dress up  







Edit: I see the twist... you can play dress-up as long as you don't receive anything tangible. Good call.




The law amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime for a person to fraudulently claim having received any of a series of particular military decorations with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she rightfully did receive that award.

Stolen valor aside it should be Felony theft from the Dog company. It costs thousands of dollars for those service dogs and to get them trained up to be wasted on this fraud. It also says in the article he conned that veteran group to pay for his sons college.

Is the article not showing up for anyone else? I tried to click the link to read it again and it's not there anymore.



Anyway, I think a shittier thing is the fact that an organization is also paying for his kids to go to private school. At least I think that's what I read earlier.

Here is the response from the Dog company......

I do understand your concerns but that's not exactly what happened and we all know the news media sometimes does not get details of stories correctly.
The dog was purchased and he is disabled we don't verify military service because we're not a non-for profit and we service all different people with disabilities within the community.
I do have background as the director of the Department of Defense program that did service military with service dogs but the  present organization that I own does all people from all walks of life that have a disability and we are a fee-for-service company.

Basically they got their money so no fucks given.

The organization is the victim. The dog company was paid by them. The guy stole the dog from the organization. Stolen Valor Act aside it is still Felony theft by Deception (that would be the official charge here in GA). He lied or used deceptive practices to fraudulently obtain an item or service with a value of $500 or more.

Yeah, I got that now. For whatever reason I read the article as the dog company was the one who donated the dog but it was the vet organization who bought and donated it. Time to contact the vet organization

This. Law enforcement as well. This is felony fraud and does not need a stolen valor law to cover it.

A real veteran wouldn't.  It's not uncommon for us to be asked for a copy of our 214 when working with the VA or other government organizations to validate our service. If he has a problem with showing his 214 and goes on tv bitching about not getting free shit then he would show his true colors to military community in a heartbeat.

Look how we dealt with pfc bergdahl....we will call shitbags out.
