Ok, putting aside that trying to steal someone’s identity to use their good name and criedt to fix your life is wrong. But to try to do it to Paul Allen<\/a>, the co-founder of Microsoft is stupid. Do you really think that one would get away? That seems what Private Brandon Lee Price tried to do. <\/a><\/p>\n

In the complaint unsealed Monday, federal investigators allege Brandon Lee Price changed the address on a bank account held by billionaire Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, then had a debit card sent to his Pittsburgh home so he could use it for payments on a delinquent Armed Forces Bank account and personal expenses.<\/p>\n

Price called Citibank in January and changed the address on an account held by Allen from Seattle to Pittsburgh, then called back three days later to say he’d lost his debit card and asked for a new one to be sent to him, an FBI investigator wrote in a criminal complaint filed in February.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I mean who does this. This person is not a random face. He is the co-founder of the company that has made the OS everyday computer use. Do you really think that every red flag would not be raised? Could it get any worse after getting caught stealing the identity of Paul Allen? Yes it can.<\/p>\n

\nInvestigators found Price was listed as Absent Without Leave from the Army and wanted as a deserter, authorities said in the complaint. He was arrested March 2 and ordered detained until April 2 unless the Army takes him into custody.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Doing all of the above while AWOL and a deserter in a time of War? Oh and because of the draw down expect your days in the military to be numbered. But since you went AWOL to begin with I am sure that is not a big concern in your mind What WILL be a concern is a less then desired discharge and your name coming up on every background check you will apply for any job that has any real meaning. That is assuming that you do not get thrown in jail for this little stunt. All for what again?<\/p>\n

The card was used to attempt a $15,000 Western Union transaction and make a $658.81 payment on the Armed Forces Bank loan account the day it was activated<\/strong>, according to the complaint. Surveillance footage also captured him attempting purchases at a video game store and a dollar store, authorities alleged. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

David Postman, a spokesman for Allen, said the fraud was detected by the bank, who alerted law enforcement officials. The only transaction – out of four listed in the complaint totaling $15,936.99 – that apparently made it through was the loan payment, Postman said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So all of that for $658.81? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
