The man who once rubbed shoulders with GOP political luminaries is wanted by Ohio state authorities who say the $100 million he raised in the name of a charity for U.S. Navy veterans cannot be located.
He used the names Bobby Thompson and Ronnie Brittain, but authorities said that both were stolen identities. The U.S. Navy Veterans Association,his charity, ran its national headquarters in Washington, D.C., out of a post office box at a UPS store.
Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray blamed that this alleged con artist had done "in the charitable sphere what Bernie Madoff did in the investment sphere. It's shocking and discouraging and to think so many people wanted to give to veterans and in fact they were giving to this man and his sham organization."
Thompson collected around $100 million over the past decade from donors who thought they were contributing to a legitimate veterans service organization, according to Cordray, and 99 percent of the funds are now unaccounted for. He donated to mostly Republican prominent politicians, more than $200,000 to.
