The military has a special place reserved on the tip of their bayonets for the folks who think they can sell phony honorable discharge documents and military awards like the Purple Heart.
Today the Department of Justice said that Robert Neener of Smithville, Tennessee, plead guilty to possessing and selling federal agency seals and pretending to be a federal officer or employee while operating an Internet business that sold all manner of phony military documents.
According to the DoJ, as part of the plea agreement, the 65-year old Neener admitted that from January 2007 through December 2008 he operated a document vending business known as "Bob Neener Military Documents," from his residence which he advertised via the Internet. In these advertisements, Neener falsely represented that he could provide customers with "authentic" military replacement documents which were "exact reproductions" of those originally issued, and that he had contracts with military branches of the government, the DoJ stated.
Neener made more than $200,000 from customers who ordered thousands of documents, which included honorable discharges and various military awards. Neener had no authorization from any federal agency to either make or sell these documents, the DoJ stated. Neener also used the official seals of various federal agencies on most of these documents, including the US Air Force; the Army; the Navy; the Department of Defense; Homeland Security; the Department of Justice; Veterans Affairs; the DEA; the Coast Guard; and the Marine Corps, without authorization to do so, according to a DoJ statement.
Neener also signed or copied signatures of various federal officials on these documents, which made it appear that the various awards or certificates were endorsed and authorized by such officials. On some documents, Neener fabricated the names and official positions of federal officials and on others, he forged the signatures of real persons, identifying them by the federal positions they actually occupied, including a former Secretary of the Navy and a former President of the United States, the DoJ said.
"Using the Internet to fraudulently sell counterfeit documents is unlawful and triggers serious concerns when those documents falsely purport to be issued by federal agencies, particularly military agencies," noted US Attorney Jerry Martin.
The guilty plea was part of a plea agreement which includes a three year prison sentence and the payment of restitution to defrauded victims. Neener will be sentenced on July 13, 2012.
