For a number of years,
Max Chip William Bayless, has represented himself as prior service SF (claims 10th and 7th Groups), CAG, and agency. He currently owns One21 Group and has owned a number of businesses going back to at least 2006, one of which, Diplomat Armored Car Rentals, is advertised as Veteran Owned.
An extremely high powered consulting firm in Vienna VA, specializing in National Security, International Affairs & Foreign Policy, Energy Security, and Leadership Consulting Services, retained and utilized Bayless as a security expert for the last few years. The firm fired Bayless a few weeks back when his fraud came to light.
Everything began to unravel for Bayless when he secured a security contract in Puerto Rico and employed a number of legitimate SF, Seal, Force Recon, and Ranger vets. Bayless told many of the personnel stories of his exploits with Delta in Afghanistan and Iraq, and did his best to convince people that he had served with them “down range”.
Through POW Network, a Freedom of Information Act request for Bayless’ military records was generated. The response came back that this individual had never served in the military.
We are doing our best to find out everything we can about this bottom feeder, expose him, and make sure that he suffers. If you have any additional information on Bayless, please input it into this thread or send via PM.
