Authorities find nearly $1 million in storage unit rented by Navy Vets’ Thompson

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Dissent

Kris Hundley reports on an interesting development in a case where authorities are trying to determine the true identify of an individual known as Bobby Thompson. Thompson has been linked to a sham charity that bilked people out of money by promising to help Navy veterans. As part of their investigation into Thompson, federal agents obtained a warrant to search a storage locker in Oregon, where they found two suitcases.

One was packed with $981,650 in $100s, $50s and $20s.

The other was filled with birth certificates, credit reports and other personal information needed to steal the identities of dozens of unsuspecting people.

Read more about the case in the Tampa Bay Online.
