Have you seen "Bobby Thompson"? Call 1-800-Crime-TV if you have any tips on his current location (or anything to help catch him)
"Bobby Thompson" (left) was featured tonight on America's Most Wanted. He's wanted for money laundering, corruption, and identity theft. His real name is unknown (hence the quotation marks). He donated $200,000 to mainly Republicans.
While none of the politicians who received money from this man could have realized where his money came from, I cite examples such as the Abramoff scandal to make the following call.
The money donated to his fake charity was used as donations to politicians and I think it would be more than appropriate for the politicians who received Thompson's stolen money to give that money to real Veterans charities in this holiday season.

The America's Most Wanted segment on Mr. "Thompson" was pretty well done. It showed him with Boehner and Bush, and then featured Senator Jim Webb, who didn't fall for the fraudulent Mr. Thompson and his lies.
This holiday season, it's times to the beneficiaries of this money to pay it forward and help a real charity with the money they got from this fraud.

And please provide some good ideas for contact info as going through official channels for stuff involving campaign expenditures may not be entirely workable. That, and nobody is in the office on a Sunday.
Extra:
Ok, there's more donations from Navy Veterans for Good Government/NAVPAC. And those can be combed too.
