Webcam Whale who spent $96k in stolen veterans funds on cam models gets prison
 

Ever wonder what happened to that generous webcam whale? Check your records for Frederick Brown :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

----


A Connecticut veteran who was treasurer at both an American Legion and VFW post was sentenced Friday to 2.5 years in prison. Local media said Frederick Brown, 72, of Mansfield, spent $96,000 on Internet porn over a three-year period.

According to local media, Brown stopped pilfering funds after realizing the veterans' posts were running out of cash. He stole as much as $144,000 in all. Local media said the defendant got "sucked in" to viewing live online pornography in which women became more provocative when viewers tipped more online tokens.

"Mr. Brown said that he basically got 'sucked in' and continued to do it because it was fun," according to a warrant. "Mr. Brown stopped... buying tokens in September 2014 because he started running out of money, and he was worried that someone else in the post would find out."

sad but true :)

He has nothing to lose

Brown flew B-52-bombers in Vietnam and has no prior criminal record. He was ordered to serve five years of probation and to repay the money. Brown's attorney urged house arrest and said the defendant requires a heart transplant, has diabetes, and suffers from chronic liver failure.

He should just complain to the bank and get a charge back just like everyone else does, problem solved... :upsidedow

Imagine how much he spent in 6 months and what a HUGE chargeback that would be?! :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Probably about double if you add CB fees for each transaction :upsidedow

Well he didn't buy $90K of porn paysite subscriptions with his stolen loot -- did he?

$144k in total, $96k in webcam tokens over 3 years.

That wont rebill well ...
Actually it doesn't say what he spent the balance on -- read it again.

:disgust

thankfully assholes who do that are playing with fire too. I've threatened to file professional body ethics complaints and police reports on clients who have tried to steal from my sites. I've only had to go through with it once though thankfully

stealing from veterans is just wtf though, what scum

the other 50k? in another article I read "state police said he also used the stolen money for food and miscellaneous items" link

he was in bad health so probably not trips around the world. I'm guessing other forms of internet shopping

anyone know which cam site(s) he hit? none of the articles I could find mention that

Says right here, twice, tokens :thumbsup

Yeah that missing $48k was probably hookers, blow, Viagra & abortions :1orglaugh

This isn't the live cam story I had hoped to read today. :(

Slippery slope :helpme

Just had one like that.

oh he stole from USIS...paid USIS mercenaries bleeding heart fund got robbed by a guy who dropped bombs on thousands upon thousands of civilians from a B52 bomber...USIS mercenaries be like :mad::mad::mad:

the most noble profession of all is taking money to terrorize others because you could not get a normal job in a 1st world country so you joined USIS...we should start a petition so that in the next edition of the oxford dictionary the word noble is equated with mercenary :thumbsup

thanks USIS for keeping a continent safe that has not been invaded since the 15th century :thumbsup:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

At least he will get some real action in prison ...

Caring about people that don't (or pretend not to) care is plain dumb ...
