\"John<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

We’ve been writing about John Donald Cody (aka Bobby Thompson) since 2010<\/a> when he was first sought to answer for charges that he’d scammed thousands of people out of millions of dollars with his phony charity, U.S. Navy Veterans Association. He was sentenced to 28 years in prison (with every Veterans’ Day spent in solitary confinement, which was overturned by the 8th Circuit earlier this year<\/a>) and a $6.3 million fine. <\/p>\n

According to the Virginian Pilot<\/a>, he has been cited countless times for misbehavior while behind bars. Not a very fruitful endeavor, I would think.<\/p>\n

Most of the citations involved disrespecting officers, disobeying prison staff and refusing to carry out work assignments. Cody has been accused of violating prison rules and physically resisting an order.<\/p>\n

Records show that Cody went to a visiting session in September 2014 wearing four pairs of socks and became combative when an officer told him only one could be worn.<\/p>\n

“From the start, he always had to be the smartest person in the room,” said Pete Elliott, a U.S. marshal. “The problem for him now is that he is caged in a room by himself, and he can’t take it. He is creating havoc.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the opening days of his arrest, his defense was that because he wouldn’t tell authorities his name, they couldn’t be sure they had the right guy. So they should let him go.<\/p>\n

Does Cody remind you of anyone we know?<\/p>\n
