American Greed Podcast: Stolen Valor Scam | CNBC Prime

[@ladytime]

This is crazy. No one would fake orders. Why would anyone do any of this strange stuff?

[@otisbeck5327]

Yes it is possible to forge an order; one method is by altering an order #, changing the writing and forging signatures.

As a US NAVY vet, this sickens me. he's not the only one

[@mariahardy1201]

Thank you for your service.

[@mariahardy1201]

Ironically, while he's in prison he's still going to be living off the tax payers.🙄

[@gspendlove]

Yeah, but the way I look at it is, better for us that he be in there than out here. And everyone knows who he is now.

[@arfriedman4577]

This is a very good show. I'm glad it's on you tube.

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

If more shows cut out the bs filler and repetitive talking points like American greed does you would see far more shows turned into podcasts. These American greed podcasts are perfect. They are entertaining yet to the point

[@sanboyce]

This podcast is great. I hate the American Greed KZbin videos with the constant: 'Next, Next, Next' where I have to keep muting as they are spoiling the story. Also, the recent cases always look like they were filmed in the 70's.

[@msf8297]

maybe those shows do not want to be turned into podcasts because....uhmmmm commercials. what will they do.. read out who their sponsor is?

[@otisbeck5327]

I saw this story on CNBC. This man is a disgrace to the uniform. Even more dishonorable is the fact that he threatened a lady. It sickens me as a soldier myself.

[@mariahardy1201]

Thank you for your service.

[@msf8297]

american greed is on CNBC

[@chrisp2481]

I don't mind that there's no video, but I really don't like how many commercial breaks there are.

[@rickybo6862]

Three years?? I dont think that is enough time, bank robbers do more time for far less $$$

[@JayMontgomery]

And his sister should've gotten time also!

[@carlotta4th]

They're sure focusing on "stolen valor" a lot when he was just a generic benefits leech. Him technically being military doesn't mean a thing--he just didn't want to work, and like many others lied his pants off to try and achieve that.

[@taharqa332]

It means EVERYTHING! The fact that he was getting benefits all hinges on the fact that he lied about receiving a Purple Heart. As a 25 year veteran myself; I know for a fact that this guy was getting 100% from VA which prompted all of his other benefits. Him being a VETERAN is the GENESIS of everything else.

[@williammize8270]

Severe PTSD yeah wrong wright😅😂🤣😭😜😜🤪

[@misty28882]

She should have just left it alone.....that crooked dude would have gotten caught anyway

[@petemedina8446]

What a shame!!!!

[@DavidsDoseofItaly]

and what is the logic in showing a TV show like a podcast??

[@joevillareal191]

Exactly

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

Idk if you're joking (?) .. but, ironically, greed, lol. i moved from a town with a small cable company to a city with Cox. $95.00 for basic extended cable-a MONTH! (CNBC, ion, Mtv). $66.00 (FBNC, TNT, USA, FX, tbs). i had to cut my cable pkg bc CNBC can make their* money on YT rebroadcasts, but not their partnerships' money. smh.. i couldn't tell one soldier's voice from the other on this!!

He’s a hustler, to bad he got caught!

[@taharqa332]

Burned the wrong bridge.

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

Sad how this guy was able to milk the system for so long and basically raise a fortune without so much as a interview by the government for years.

[@alysiamerdavid-wasser9165]

Bureaucracy moves at a crawl & and the armed forces don't move unless they're forced.. Said with respect* as someone who married a Forward Artillery PFC & whose grandpa was ACTUALLY given a purple heart for action on Guadal Canal. 💜

[@grandpa5508]

He was able to do it because the very system allowed it to happen. So easy to see the plot or scam from miles away. Just needed to investigate the rocket attack or any incident during his service before awarding the Purple Heart. Unfortunate that these types of scams tend to get attention only when the perpetrators expose themselves. If you had dedicated workers like Ms Jackson at the front end this scam would have been unraveled from the get go and probably saved his character.
