He Scammed So Many People - The John Donald Cody Story
About this episode
John Donald Cody is a Harvard-educated lawyer and former U.S. Army intelligence officer who spent decades as a fugitive after disappearing from his Arizona law practice in the 1980s amid allegations he stole client funds. Decades later, using the alias Bobby Thompson, he founded the United States Navy Veterans Association, a bogus charity that raised tens of millions of dollars from donors under the pretense of helping Navy veterans, but instead siphoned off funds and even made political donations, all while hiding behind a fake identity and mail-drop addresses.
