Andy sends us a link to an Associated Press<\/a> article in regards to the fraudster known as “Bobby Thompson” but widely believed to be John Donald Cody, a former intelligence agent. We’ve been writing<\/a> about him since May 2010 when his fake veterans’ organization was unmasked. But a jury convicted him today in Ohio;<\/p>\n

He faces up to 67 years in prison at his sentencing, which was scheduled for Dec. 16.<\/p>\n

The defendant rolled his eyes toward the ceiling and rocked on his feet as the verdicts were read. Deputies cuffed his wrists after the first guilty verdict was announced. Unlike the last two days of his trial, the defendant showed up with his shirt buttoned and his hair combed.<\/p>\n

He was charged with looting the United States Navy Veterans Association, a charity he ran in Tampa, Fla. As his five-week trial wound down, he had appeared disheveled in court, so much so that the judge suggested a break Tuesday to allow him to get a clean shirt and comb his hair.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He was identified with fingerprints, since he had scores of IDs in his suitcase when he was arrested along with nearly a million dollars in cash. <\/p>\n
