A man convicted of masterminding a $100 million, multi-state Navy veterans charity fraud won’t have to spend every Veterans Day in solitary confinement as indicated in his prison sentence, an Ohio appeals court ruled.
The man identifying himself as Bobby Thompson was convicted in 2013 of racketeering, theft, money laundering and 12 counts of identity theft. A Cuyahoga County judge sentenced him to 28 years in prison, with solitary confinement each Veterans Day.
In a unanimous ruling Thursday, the 8th District Court of Appeals said the trial court had no authority under Ohio

The court also reduced Thompson’s sentence by one year, acknowledging Ohio courts didn’t have jurisdiction over some of the identity-fraud charges against him.
