A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced a Choctaw County man to more than five years in prison for taking advantage of an oversight to defraud the government out of almost $1.5 million.
in June to theft of government property and bankruptcy fraud. He admitted to falsely claiming to be a Purple Heart recipient and engaging in a multi-layered scheme.
But the Defense Finance and Accounting Service never received notice of Bailey’s dismissal, and he admitted to using that administrative error to collect paychecks and receive health care and military facilities from 2010 to 2017. That amounted to a $818,918 loss to the Air Force. The defendant received $155,396 in disability benefits that he was not entitled to, and prosecutors alleged that he worked as a “veteran’s consultant” and part-time faculty member at an Alabama private university but failed to disclose that work to the Social Security Administration.
