Chip sends us an ABC News link which reports that “Bobby Thompson”, the guy who founded and ran the scam charity organization “U.S. Navy Veterans Association” has finally been identified. We first mentioned him back in March 2010<\/a> when he took flight. Apparently he’s a former military intelligence officer named John Donald Cody who has been on an FBI watchlist for more than 25 years.<\/p>\n

U.S. Marshal Peter Elliott told reporters that he discovered Cody while searching through old FBI Wanted posters. He said details about the two identities kept matching up, from his unusual hairstyle, his history in the state of Arizona, and his knowledge of the law. Cody, Elliot said, had graduated from Harvard Law School.<\/p>\n

The Marshal said Cody spent years evading arrest before he assumed the Thompson persona.<\/p>\n

“We always knew there was a reason Thompson signed his name as Mr. X and did not want to be identified,” Elliott said. “Now we know why.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An unusual hairstyle to say the least – it looks like a pompadour mated with a mullet. They should have spotted him from across the country.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Marshals said they used a combination of Google searching, intuition and a set of 1969 military fingerprints to solve the mystery of Thompson’s real identity. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beware the power of Google. By the way, FBI, nice watch list you’ve got there. Use it much?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
