In addition to Bales' alleged actions in Afghanistan, Ohio man Gary Liebschner and his wife have come forward claiming that years ago Bales defrauded them of everything when he worked as a broker for a local investment firm and then disappeared right around the time he joined the Army.
"My income is less than what's going out, so we're trying to make ends meet," Gary Liebschner told ABC News.
Liebschner took his case against Bales and his firm to Wall Street regulators in May 2000, and an independent arbitrator later found that Bales engaged in fraud, unauthorized trading and unsuitable investments.
In the midst of the pending case, Bales joined the Army and Liebschner said Bales could not be found after an arbitrator ordered him and his associates to pay more than $1.4 million.
Another sociopath joins the Army to evade the legal system... say it ain't so!
On the upside, though, even if he beats the murder raps, he's gonna get the book thrown at him for all that perjury and such, so the only time he'll see daylight in the next decade is when he being transported between the brig and the courtroom. It's something, at least.
