VA Official Sentenced 11 yrs in Prison: Know Your Entitlements

VA official who exploited veterans in fraud scam gets 11 years

This is not an attack to all VA counselors and officials, but many viewers on here are fairly new in specific vocational and educational entitlements. Simply going by what statements you are told is not enough with the constant changes of veteran benefits.

Please research your rights and communicate professionally with advisors. Yet in the end, you owe it to educate yourself on what you qualify for and to know when to stand your ground when your told “no.”

Here’s a more concise version of the frauds involving schools & programs bribing the official:

Programs involved:

1) Atius Technology Institute

2) Eelon Training Academy

3) School A-specialized security classes

According to prosecutors, from 2015 through 2017, King, using his position as a VR&E program counselor, demanded and received cash bribes from the owners of Atius Technology Institute, Eelon Training Academy and School A — a school purporting to specialize in physical security classes.

...They would each pay him, in cash, 7 percent of the money they received from Veterans Affairs in exchange for King steering veterans to their schools and facilitating Veterans Affairs payments. King similarly accepted cash payments from the owner of School A in exchange for the same official acts.

In order to maximize the profits from their fraud, all three school owners sent King and other Veterans Affairs officials false information about the education being provided to veterans, and King facilitated payments to all three schools knowing this information was false, according to a news release.

So many VR&E counselors are liars. I am not surprised.

I do like the countering of dismissing schools taking advantage of the entitlements by deception:
