Former Army civilian employee pleads guilty to stealing troops’ info in scheme to collect millions in military benefitsA former Army civilian employee pleaded guilty on Tuesday to stealing personal information of thousands of U.S. military service members and veterans as part of a scheme to obtain millions of dollars in military benefits.
Frederick Brown, 38, is a former civilian medical records administrator for the U.S. Army with the 65th Medical Brigade in Yongsan Garrison in South Korea. During his Tuesday court appearance to plead guilty, Brown admitted he took photos of personal identifying information, including Social Security numbers and DoD ID numbers, from thousands of U.S. service members and veterans when he was logged into the Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application, the Justice Department said in a news release Wednesday.
Brown, who is from Las Vegas and was also arrested there, said that the information was obtained between July 2014 to September 2015.
