Someone sent us a link to the UK’s Daily Record<\/a> where they tell the story of “A thieving lowlife…Rat James Reilly” who founded a veterans’ charity that he used as his personal bank account stealing more than \u00a360,000 ($76,698) in donations in less than two years of operations.<\/p>\n

Ex-soldier Les Mason, who first found out the truth about Reilly, said: \u201cHe is lower than a snake\u2019s belly.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was never in this to help veterans. It was all about making money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walter Mitty Reilly, who falsely claimed to have trained with the Commandos, set up Tayforth Veterans in a blaze of publicity in Dundee in 2011.<\/p>\n

TV star Lorraine Kelly \u2013 one of the many people he duped \u2013 appeared at the launch.<\/p>\n

The shameless thief even accepted a substantial donation from the grieving parents of Black Watch soldier Aaron Black, 22, who took his own life in 2011 after suffering combat stress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He was convicted Thursday night and sentencing is scheduled for next month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
