From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.justice.gov\/usao\/vae\/news\/2014\/02\/20140220perrinonr.html\">US Attorney&#8217;s Office<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>On September 4, 2013, after Diplomatic Security investigative analysts discovered possible fraudulent passport applications, DS special agents, in conjunction with the Department of Veterans Affairs\u2019 Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Postal Inspector\u2019s Office, and the Hampton and Virginia Beach Police Departments executed search and arrest warrants, which resulted in Perrino\u2019s arrest.  On November 20, 2013, Perrino pled guilty to one count of theft of government money and one count of aggravated identity theft.  According to court documents, Perrino assumed the identities of at least 5 different individuals dating back to 1986.  Perrino was able to assume these identities by obtaining personal information and associated documents and then using that information to apply for official forms of identification such as United States passports and driver\u2019s licenses.  Perrino also enlisted in the Navy and Army under stolen identities.  Following a 10-year fraudulent enlistment in the Army, Perrino applied for and received VA benefits in that person\u2019s name.  He was able to obtain more than $138,000 in benefits via the Montgomery and Post 9\/11 GI Bills and federal student loans and grants.  <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, he did serve ten years, just not under his own name.
