In Raonoke, a man has been sentenced to 35 years in prison for faking an Army career that included combat missions throughout the world. Randall Moneymaker, 44, told people that he had served in the Army since the 1980s. According to him, he was a Ranger in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Grenada and Iraq.
He used his bogus background as a wounded soldier to get more than $18,000 in military disability payment. He also managed to get a job as a recruiter for the Army’s Active Guard Reserve in Roanoke.
Thus, U. S. District Court in Roanoke convicted Moneymaker of six counts of making false statement and one count of theft of government property. He was also fined of more than $1.5 million.
