This week’s BFTP spotlight goes to Gregory Charles Banks aka “Egregious Greg”. The original post is located here: Gregory Charles Banks, the phony just passing through<\/a>\u00a0 which amassed over 829 comments, and\u00a0a cool “Wanted” poster was also made for Gregory here: Wanted: Gregory Banks<\/a>. Greg also made it to the Shitbag Sixteen<\/a> during the 2014 Blue Falcon Stolen Valor Tournament. Just another phony with the response of “Who dat?” from the NPRC.<\/p>\n

Jonn’s original post:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So one of our readers is a Mason up in Connecticut and this dude passes through his lodge on the way back from his combat assignments. Sometimes he’s in ACUs, other times he’s wearing his blues, like in the picture above. Of course, he’s Special Forces (isn’t everyone, these days) and in addition to his duties as an Army officer, he’s also a counselor with two offices. The man is a freakin’ machine.<\/p>\n

\"Gregory<\/a><\/p>\n

Well, he didn’t turn up in any of my databases, but, you know, he’s probably so secret squirrel that he wouldn’t, but CID can’t find him either. Nor can NPRC;<\/p>\n

\"Gregory<\/a><\/p>\n

We’re told that his lodge just threw him a big celebration for his recent award of the Bronze Star Medal so obviously, he loves attention – so here is all of the attention you could ever want, Greg-baby. It looks to me like he stole a midget’s jacket.<\/p>\n

Added; more pics;<\/p>\n

\"GregBanks\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Banks,<\/a><\/p>\n

I emailed these pictures to our counselor friend, Greg Charles Banks and asked if these are not him in the photos, and he hasn’t answered back. I guess he’s going with “identity theft” as an explanation.<\/p>\n

OK, I just got an email from him and he admits that this is him in this picture taken at the lodge not wearing the uniform;<\/p>\n

\"Banks<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know, you judge.<\/p>\n
