WANNABE WARLORD

A popular feature here on STORMBRINGER is busting out the phony wannabes - this site even helped track this guy to ground - but this latest freak was so bold he takes phony-ism to a whole 'nother level . . . not good enough to be a phony wannabe poser - he stood up a whole PRIVATE ARMY:

CHINESE MAN ACCUSED OF CREATING FAKE ARMY SF UNIT

April 13, 2011 Associated Press

POMONA, Calif
- A Chinese national who said he was the "Supreme Commander" of a made-up Army unit orchestrated an elaborate scheme that attracted recruits and their money with the promise that it was a path to U.S. citizenship, authorities allege.



I think I like this guy's style:

"Uh, excuse me there, Your Majesty, but exactly what
rank are you?"

"Supleeme Commandah. I a Supleeme Commandah Special Foss. You can car me Supah."




Yupeng Deng, who is accused of raking in hundreds of dollars from his recruits, is set to be arraigned Wednesday on more than a dozen charges.

Los Angeles County prosecutors said Deng, also known as David Deng, recruited 100 other Chinese nationals, primarily in Asian enclaves in the San Gabriel Valley, to join the "U.S. Army / Military Special Forces Reserve unit," then gave them phony U.S. Army uniforms and military ID cards.

The 51-year-old El Monte man is accused of charging the recruits initiation fees ranging from $300 to $450, with renewal fees set at $120 a year.

The recruits were instructed to report to Deng's office in Temple City, which was decorated to look like an official military recruiting center, to undergo military training and indoctrination, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. They marched in a parade in Monterey Park and took a tour of the U.S. Midway Museum in San Diego, all in uniform.


San Diego's a HUGE military town - somebody HAD to have seen these clowns and wondered What the Hell is going on?"


Deng was charged with 13 counts of theft by false pretenses, manufacturing deceptive government documents and counterfeit of an official government seal. He faces more than eight years in state prison if convicted.

Deng was arrested by agents with the FBI and U.S. Department of Defense on a felony complaint filed Monday.

Federal investigators began looking into Deng more than two years ago when they received reports from police who recovered counterfeit military IDs from some of Deng's recruits during traffic stops, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said.

When Deng sent his recruits renewal forms for their bogus military IDs, some showed up at real Army facilities to pay them, she said.


Oh I would have LOVED to have been a fly on the wall when THAT madness went down!










"Whaddya mean -


WE DON'T GET NO SCUBA PAY ? ? ?"

  2. It was simple, homeboy just told them that he was working for the CIA as a deep undercover operative.
    Same thing here in Houston a few years ago. A guy claimed to be a CIA retiree, even was the President of the CIA association. That is until he got in a high speed chase with HPD and was gunned down, when they checked his credentials with the CIA they had never heard of him.
