<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nWe’ve written about William James Burley twice – once in Oct 14th, 2012<\/a> and again in April 2013<\/a>. In December 2012, he had a pretend lawyer threaten to sue us if we didn’t take the post about him down. As you can see, that didn’t work. Now, we read in the Chicago Daily Herald<\/a> that he got himself in hot water again, pretending to a charity that he could rescue aid workers captured by terrorists in Somalia. He took them for $30,000;<\/p>\n According to court papers, Burley presented himself as an “experienced operative” who could assist the charity rescue the captured employees who were assaulted and kidnapped in July 2012.<\/p>\n Prosecutors said Burley said he was a “highly decorated” Navy SEAL with degrees from the Universities of Delaware and Maryland who consulted with the Navy, Defense Department and State Department. He also said he formerly worked as a law enforcement officer, federal prosecutors said.<\/p>\n If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But, he’s probably accustomed to prison life since his last duty station was the Brig;<\/p>\n The charity could have saved themselves the trouble, though. Our post about him is the number one search result at Google, Bing and Yahoo on his name. Which is probably why he tried to send a phony lawyer after us.<\/p>\n Meanwhile the folks who work for the charity still haven’t been released.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"![\"burley_15\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/burley_15-300x131.gif\")
