..."“This defendant used his position to game the system at the expense of those with legitimate claims and taxpayers in general,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “It’s not only outrageous when an undeserving person claims a disability. It’s also a crime. And unfortunately for this defendant, he is going to jail.” Grossman thanked the prosecution team and the Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Inspector General, for their excellent work on this case.

“Our nation’s service-disabled veterans receive a wide variety of benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. Unfortunately, some veterans fraudulently misrepresent their situation to obtain benefits they do not deserve,” said Special Agent in Charge Rebeccalynn Staples of the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General’s Western Field Office. “The VA OIG remains committed to diligently pursuing these cases in an effort to maintain the integrity of VA programs.”
