Veterans and vagabonds: - a photo on Flickriver

            Night Shot, New Orleans Louisiana.
.-------------------------------------

The United States Navy Veterans Association (USNVA) was a tax-exempt veterans' organization that claimed to have a national headquarters in Washington, D.C. It claimed that its purpose was to support the U.S. Navy, and to assist veterans and members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and their families.

The Association claimed to be a national organization with 43 U.S. chapters and over 66,000 members.

USNVA was the subject of a 2010 investigative report by the St. Petersburg Times, which concluded that the USNVA was a one-man operation fraudulently soliciting money as a veterans' charity. The Times investigation ultimately resulted in criminal and administrative investigations in several states and the removal of USNVA's listing from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website. The organization's national headquarters in Washington DC proved to be a rented post office box, rather than an actual physical office location.

USNVA operations ceased and, after a two-year search, the leader, John Donald Cody, was arrested on 30 April 2012 by U.S. Marshals in Portland, Oregon. Cody had run the organization under the alias "Bobby Thompson", and authorities were at first unable to determine his real name. However, on 1 October 2012, it was announced that Cody's identity had been determined using fingerprint records. In late 2013, Cody was convicted of charges including theft, money laundering, engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, tampering with records, and identity fraud; and sentenced to 28 years in prison.
