Here’s another one that we ordered in 2014 that just got here. Harvey Malbaurn was arrested in August of that year<\/a> for taking donations for an organization called “Focus on Veterans” while he was panhandling outside a well-meaning business that thought that they were helping veterans. Harvey claimed to the police officer that questioned him that he was a veteran, but the officer doubted him. The NPRC agrees with the officer.<\/p>\n

Someone else is checking on Harv and NPRC lost track of his records. And now, finally, we know – no he’s not a veteran. I guess we know why it took so long to get a response on the old draft dodger.<\/p>\n

Later that year, the Massachusetts Attorney General barred Focus on Veterans from operating in the state;<\/p>\n

In investigating the charity, Plainville police also learned that Focus on Veterans operates two “rooming houses” in Plainfield, Connecticut, that it rents to both veterans and non-veterans.<\/p>\n

Police said the charity enlists the residents to collect money to keep the homes running. Whether veterans or not, they allegedly wear unmarked camouflage clothing while soliciting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They seem to be having trouble with their website at the moment. But a cache copy says that they’re just following the VA Secretary’s guidance to get veterans off the street. And using them for free labor. I’m pretty sure that’s not what the VA Secretary had in mind. An Army of panhandlers dressed in camouflage who may or may not be veterans, but don’t hesitate to claim that they are veterans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
