Politics Tuesday, May 1, 2012 Bobby Thompson, accused Navy vet scammer, is arrested by Ohio task force Bogus charity allegedly collected $100 million by WKSU's M.L. SCHULTZE |
 Web Editor M.L. Schultze | | |
 | | The most recent mug shot of the man known as Bobby Thompson, accused of scamming hundreds of millions of dollars through a charity. | The man accused of running a massive scam that bilked Ohioans and others of hundreds of millions of dollars was arrested on the West Coast last night.
Bobby Thompson was arrested by a U.S. Marshal's task force from Ohio at an undisclosed location.
He ran a charity called the U.S. Navy Veterans Association that claimed to help veterans and their families.
Thompson had disappeared in 2010, shortly after he was indicted by an Ohio grand jury on charges of corruption, theft and money laundering. He is accused of masquerading as a retired lieutenant commander and setting up a national network that collected as much as a hundred million dollars. Nearly 2 million of that came from Ohioans.
In 10 years, Thompson rose to prominence in political and social circles in Florida, attending the 2008 GOP convention and fundraisers for presidential candidate John McCain. Prosecutors now say even his name was fictional.
