Poor guy.\u00a0 He was unable to work, and unemployed.\u00a0 He said it was due to his injuries while in the military.\u00a0 He had a bad back and a \u201cmental condition\u201d that prevented him from working.<\/p>\n
So he went down to the VA and applied for disability.\u00a0 The VA took care of him \u2013 to the tune of about $200,000 in benefits.<\/p>\n
There was only one problem:\u00a0 after a while, the VA checked up on him.\u00a0 And it turns out the guy was . . . well, lying.<\/p>\n
While “unemployable” and drawing VA bennies, it turns out he had been working for a wreath manufacturer, as a fisherman, and as a painter.\u00a0 Oops.<\/p>\n
Yesterday, Richard Ramsdell Jr, age 38, pleaded guilty in Federal court in Bangor, ME<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 He\u2019s facing a sentence of up to 10 years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and full restitution.<\/p>\n Hope you\u2019re reading this, Joe Cryer<\/a>.\u00a0 And I hope you\u2019re looking over your shoulder.<\/p>\n You should be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
