…until VA caught him driving, Feds say
BY HAYLEY FOWLER
John Paul Cook’s fall from a ladder in 1986 while on duty put an end to his short-lived career in the U.S. Army, according to the Department of Justice.
But that didn’t stop him from profiting off it for the next three decades, prosecutors said.
Cook, 57, is accused of defrauding the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs of nearly $1 million from 1987 to 2017 while claiming to be legally blind and unable to drive to get groceries or go to medical appointments after his accident, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of North Carolina said Wednesday in a news release.
The VA was reportedly tipped off about the alleged fraud after investigators observed Cook driving around his hometown of Alexander in Western North Carolina — including to and from his appointments at the VA clinic in nearby Asheville.
Wow. Arrogant or just stupid? Read the entire article here: Charlotte Observer
Thanks, ninja.
Bwaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha(pantgasp)hahaha
hahahahahahahahahastopyoukillingmehahahahahahaha
I’ll take teh stoopid mofo for $1000! Now, the million dollar question is, will the taxpayer ever see any of this money back? And the other million dollar question is; can these same investigators look into our own Wilted Willy’s POS brother and lock that mofo up?
This is why we can’t have nice things.
Hey ‘Ed, good to see you still up. Guess you mixing us up some of TWBGCC to pay off your bet for when the (GO) Army Mule trots all over the (BEAT) Navy Goat! Heh heh gabn/hbtd/rtr
Ditto!
Believe you have me corn-fused with the Mayor of Annapolis, but that’s OK. After Navy wins y’all keep the Noo Yawk pizza as a consolation prize. Only winners get crab cakes. Here a tease.
The World’s Best Crab Cakes (Keep it simple)
You’ll Need:
1 pound crab meat
2 eggs
1/4 cup mayo
Juice and zest from 1 lemon
a few dashes Worcestershire sauce
S&P
Old Bay
Panko crumbs as needed
Flour
You’ll Do:
Mix eggs, mayo, juice and zest, Wooster sauce in a bowl. Add S&P, Old bay, mix. Gently fold in the crab meat. Add just enough Panko to firm up the mix. Form into patties and dust with the flour. Refrigerate for at least an hour (this is key for pan frying- skip flour, etc. if broiling).
Cook ’em up. Pan fry for about four minutes a side, or broil until brown, flip, repeat.
Wow….just wow. I bet the VA is not the only entity/person to be scammed by this creep. I bet he had a stellar career in the Army as well.
Dollar to a doughnut says he is collecting SSI disability payments from the SSA for his fake blindness.
I-bets-he-gonna-be-a-pickin’-up the soap when it’s shower time, a *WHEEEEEEE, WHEEEE, WEEEEE, WEEEEE…
Well, he’ll be able to see the soap.
Maybe we should start a gofunkme account to raise money for that cell block sized tub of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not K-Y” lube; him being a disabled vet and all.
Fuk-Tard
Here is one of the many rules I learned at the “you get beat by large goons level C army” SERE course:
If you are going to fake a injury, you are going to have to live it 24/7. If they catch you faking it – you get a beat down.
I swear we talked about this guy before, but I looked and it was a different dude.

Happened two years ago. You’d think John Paul Cook would have gotten the memo not to be driving to keep up the ruse.
He didn’t “see” the article.
And here I was thinking Buck Thrailkill had that problem…
I guess he didn’t see that coming.

I think the real blindness here is the VA.
Nice video of another blind guy getting busted.

The first dude was obviously trained at All-Points Logistics.
John Cook really cooked up some story and blind sided the VA about being blind, so now his goose is really cooked after he got caught. He can maybe work in the prison kitchen as a cook. Now his cellmate can say Kooky Kooky lend me your comb.
What’s John Paul Cook’s favorite football movie?
That’s right, The Blind Side.
I think he may be a distant cousin to One Eyed Willie.
Another BIG DUMMY gets caught!
Before I get started… “Go Army, Beat Navy!”
This dirtbag needs some real jail time with a cell mate named Brutus. I know we usually use Bubba, but this guy needs a real big hairy guy named Brutus to comfort him!
