Navy charity scam suspect’s Ohio lawyer withdraws

CLEVELAND (AP) — The lawyer for a man suspected of running a $100 million scam collecting donations for veterans has quit the Ohio case, saying it’s too complicated for one court-appointed attorney to handle.

Prominent Cleveland attorney Mark Stanton withdrew from the case during a hearing Thursday for the defendant known as Bobby Thompson. Authorities don’t think that’s his real name but haven’t been able to identify him.

Authorities believe the former fugitive committed identity theft and defrauded donors of up to $100 million in Ohio and 40 others states through a bogus, Florida-based charity. A fraction of the money has been found.

The suspect was arrested in Portland, Ore., in May.

The charges against him include racketeering, money laundering and theft. He has pleaded not guilty

Everyone at Legal Shred is friendly and incredibly helpful. I had many years of sensitive records that I needed to safely dispose of, and didn't really know how to get started. (Clearly shredding myself would become a career in itself.) The hard part was figuring out what to shred--the easy part was...

What a sense of comfort to watch your risk of identity theft being shredded. I had over ten years of papers and it still didn't fill the bin. The amount it would have cost me in weight, time and effort to bring it to a drop off location would have exceeded what Legal Shred charged to come to me so I...
