Fraudster who posed as a decorated U.S. Marine

clippers remarks: Former Marine and FBI agent Dan Ryan smelled a rat when he first came in contact with Rodriguez at a Republican committee meeting two years ago.

He noticed he was wearing a service uniform with some of the military branchs highest honours, including the Navy Cross. The Navy Cross is the second highest award for Marines and sailors.

Mr Ryan said: My first reaction was, "This guys a stud!" Then I looked a little more and thought, "Somethings going on here." Im very, very sensitive about the Navy Cross. I happen to have written one of the citations for the Marine who was killed right next to me in 1967 in Vietnam in a firefight.

Suspecting that something was not right, Mr Ryan decided to check up on Rodriguezs background. After doing some research, he alerted investigators at the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Fraudster who posed as a decorated U.S. Marine is jailed for seven-and-a-half years


A man who posed as a highly decorated U.S. Marine was jailed yesterday for seven-and-a-half years.


John Rodriguez, from Scottsdale in Arizona, was convicted in Maricopa Country Superior Court of forgery, fraudulent schemes and presentation of a false instrument for filing. 


The court heard how for five years, between 2005 and 2010, the 31-year-old falsely posed as a Marine honoured with a variety of prestigious medals.

Rodriguez gained access to military bases, including Camp Pendleton in San Diego, received discounted airline tickets, went to the Marine Corps Ball and briefly acquired a job with a local health-care provider that gave him access to sensitive information on veterans.


In addition he signed documents claiming to be on active duty and listed military status when he tried to gain employment.
