It looks like he stole a hundred forty thousand bucks from the VFW. He got two years in the federal pen and has to pay back the loot;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt seems to me that the crime here has impacted all of the folks who were receiving benefits from the VFW. They have been denied those services through this breach of trust,\u201d [Judge Charles] Lovell said. \u201cIt seems to me that this isn\u2019t the Bank of America from which the money was taken, but a theft related to the myriad of those veterans who were entitled to this assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the judge\u2019s ire is that Longfellow, who retired after 23 years with the VFW, is receiving a monthly pension from the VFW, and initially sought to lower his restitution by saying the VFW owed him back pay for vacation and sick time. Lovell ordered that the entire $879 Longfellow receives each month be paid toward the $140,398 restitution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is the minimum amount. If you are able to make further payments you can do that,\u201d Lovell added.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It&#8217;s bad enough when we get ripped off by people who have never served, but when we do it to ourselves, that&#8217;s extra-shitbagish. I hope he chokes on Tiny&#8217;s meat sandwich, but after he pays us back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pinto Nag sends us the story of 68-year-old Larry Howard Longfellow who was the Chief Financial &hellip; <a title=\"MT VFW CFO to pay back $140k he stole\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=38524\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">MT VFW CFO to pay back $140k he stole<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shitbags"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38524\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
