Hi Saul. Really enjoyed that article. Will you be having an article shortly on divorce situations soon?
Hi Saul. Enjoyed the article. Are you going to be having something soon on the topic of divorces?
Yes, divorce is a topic that comes up frequently in the field of forensic accounting.
Great article! Amazing! I can't believe, or don't want to believe, that there are people out there that use the military as a means of committing fraud. People will do anything to try to get ahead these days! What a disgrace!
The fake heroes are cowards. Their claims serve no purpose other than to inflate their egos, but they take away from the real heroes who genuinely deserve our strong support.
Thank you, Saul, for posting this important article.
Fraud can be committed by anyone. It is important to always be vigilant. In fact e.g., some non-profit organizations can attract fraudsters as volunteers. The fraudsters may know that these organizations may have poor internal controls and can easily be preyed upon.
I'm amazed that there's no National database for our servicemen. It doesn't seem that difficult to do. Costly, yes, but it's not going to get any cheaper and I can see a myriad of more problems being created without one. I'm sure there are quite a number of veterans who would be willing to pitch in their time to get a database going. They're probably the best source of information, as well. And to avoid erroneous information, I would require the DD214, military ID card or dog tags, 5 references from squad members or family of squad members and details of posts they served at. It could be done.
As a family member of military personnel, I think it's disgraceful that someone would impersonate a veteran or use horror stories of war to gain sympathy. It's on par with treason, in my book. Our military has performed an unselfish act in serving that should be respected and protected as such.
Excellent article, Saul, and one that is way overdue. Bravo.
Mr. Levy said it best that those claims about him being a participant of the Green Beret have ruined his life. Surely we look at these people with admiration, and at times, empathy, but now a new way of looking at veterans appears to be evident, that one of dismay. I, however do not agree that these people are cowards, for unless one has experienced their trauma then it is not fair to make these claims. The fraud of it I of course do not agree with. I see it as not the veterans' faults, but the fault of the administration in the lack of monitoring the collection of data dating back many years.
