Stolen Valor and Fraud

Featured Replies

I have personal dealings with John Giduck and can attest to his high level of BS. The company I used to work for had him on as part of the Expert Council, but it was clear he was not an expert. When I alerted our executives to this fraud, I was dismissed. I wound up leaving the company, but this came to my attention. Any veterans will find this completely offensive. Anyone involved with LE work, ought to read this and stop your departments from giving a fraud hard earned tax dollars.

 

 

A week or so ago, I was honored with a request of some folks from SOCNET for our help in assisting them in a legal battle they’re having with a stolen valor thief turned bully who happens to be a lawyer. John Giduck was discharged from the Army after a lengthy career of 58 days and proceeded to build another career based on lies about his military experience – you know because all of that Drill & Ceremony gives him a distinct advantage in the world of private security. Well, the folks at SOCNET outed him as a phony and started damaging his business, so like some of the phonies we’ve had here, he struck back. I’ll let the folks from SOCNET explain the whole story;

My girlfriends friend is dating a total fraud who claims he went to Afghanistan and killed tons of people, but didnt know what an MOS was when I asked and when I asked what unit he said "E company". Not to mention how he said he said he spent 2 years there after guarding oil fields....in afghanistan...

 

...I wish there was a way to prove it but the public records need a SSN to get military records. Its really screwed up

O! Oo! (hand raised, pick me, pick me!) A MOS is that thing that moves the thing on my screen that looks like an arrow.

 

No promises, but pop me a pm with his name, rank and anything pertinent. I'll see what I can dig up. Nothing I do is illegal... So not to worry.

Interesting SCOTUS response to this:

It's a crime to impersonate a police officer, a crime to impersonate a lawyer, a crime to impersonate a doctor; but not a crime to impersonate a war hero because that person is protected by his freedom of speech. Amazing.

Yes it is amazing. This particular low life made all sorts of claims in his books. Countless Police Department, government agencies and other groups paid big money to listen to his 'stories'.

 

My former company had me work with him on consulting with American companies post-Mumbai Hotel incident. I read his book on Breslan and it was well written, but too many things didn't sit right with me. I studied Russian history in college to better understand our enemy during the Cold War and things / perspectives just didn't gel. After a few conversations he offered to connect with veteran of India's version of our 'Delta Force' called the Black Cats. As I was brushing up on India and their extensive culture of graph and lies, I got even more suspicious. Anyway, after numerous meetings with the US-India Business Council in NYC and in DC and another group called Security Watch India, I never got a good feeling and got cold feet. Good thing.

 

Turns out these "Black Cats" that Giduck worked / advised were nothing but a front. Any recent success India has had in recent years is a veneer. British Commandos or any number of US Spec Ops family have taken care of business and have given India the credit to make them appear to be stronger then they are. In all actuality, they (military / police) are completely spineless and lack what was confided to me, "The American Western Spirit". They will not charge into the lions den to save anyone. They just don't value human life they way American Sheep Dogs do. Anyway, this exercise cemented my belief he was an imposter.

 

When I stumbled upon SOCNET.com trying to oust this guy did I realize my NJ Gut instincts were on the money. Now this scumbag is suing some very honorable members of the Spec Ops Community. Some guys are active duty and this POS is extorting money from them. This has really struck a nerve with me. Plus, I left my company because of the fraud that is going on. The company has no money on paper and nor do the principals. If I get them criminally, there still isn't any personal assets for me to go after.

 

I will 'greet' them next time they are in the area giving a seminar....patience grasshopper, patience.

58 days isn't even enough to complete initial training. Meaning he has to have an other than honorable discharge/separation

Didn't he fill out an application saying he hadn't been discharged with anything other than honorable? That would be a lie.

Claimed to be Army?

Post the first and last name. Has to be exact.

Marines... I checked. 17 in NJ in all branches with his last name. Not one with his first.

scotus dropped the ball on this one, it is a kick in the face to all vets that served honerably. just the other day i questioned a guy that is running a job that im on, he claimed to be a retired army sniper with dozens of kills, so i asked him when he served in front of 3 other guys. turned out he was a cold war vet and saw no action, made him walk away with his tail between his legs. I lost all respect for that pos.

As a side note:

There was an article that ran in the Military Order of the Purple Heart bi-monthly magazine that indicated that for every legitimate vietnam veteran there was 13 that who had never been in country or in the service claiming to be vietnam vets.

 

Takes all kinds.

This kind of stuff really pisses me off. My father was a Marine in Vietnam, never bragged about it, or even wanted to discuss it. My brother who is a year older than me did 8yrs. in the Army as a helicopter crew chief on UH-1's and then UC-60's right after Desert Storm with the 101st. AB. Mom wanted me to be the college graduate and so I went that route instead (did take my ASVAB and scored really well). I know all the jargon (what an MOS is, I was gonna be slated for 97E, AIS, etc.).

 

I wear a pair of Dog Tags and get asked all the time "were you in?" and never, not once, would I disrespect my dad, my brother, and all the other vets out there by lying and saying yes. I explain that "no, my dad and brother are vets and I wear them in honor of their service" It's a shame that some people feel thier life is so...boring? that they would lie and tarnish the honor of those who have made the ultimate commitment.

 

Just my opinion.
