A poser who claimed to have spent 28 years in Army Special Forces and retired as a Colonel, and has been providing training to federal, state, and local LEAs and other agencies since 1998 in counter-terrorism and other subjects has been unmasked, convicted, and imprisoned. He was also fined the $170,000 that he has been paid for his bogus 'training,' which potentially places first responders at great risk.

Couldn't happen to a bigger dirtbag. Unfortunately he only got 21 months, out of a max sentence of 27 months. Should have been 21 years!

Well since he had been doing it for so long, I guess he must have not been half bad at it. There is plenty of wannabes out there, but normally you can guess it in just a conversation with them.

Man, these dudes are are everywhere. The only way to deter them is to throw the max sentence at them. This turd should have gotten a LOT more time.

every year he lied about should recieve 1 year in prison, then when he got out he could say he served that many years.
