Frank Edwin Pate was found guilty by a jury of two counts of wire fraud and one count of mail fraud following a five-day trial before U.S. District Judge Amos Mazzant.
According to information presented in court, Pate perpetrated a fraud scheme on seven individuals who invested money with Pate for the purpose of trading foreign currency on their behalf. The evidence established that seven investors gave Pate a total of over $2.6 million over a several year period for the purpose of currency trading. Instead of using the money for foreign currency trading, Pate spent a large portion of the money for his own personal expenses. Pate was indicted by a federal grand jury on Aug. 13, 2014.
Pate faces up to 20 years in federal prison on each conviction. A sentencing date has not been set.
This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys J. Andrew Williams and Christopher Eason.
My understanding of honor the soldiers, it was a foundation, non profit, with the intent of raising money to build housing for returning soldiers, an unknown amount of money was raised and borrowed, nothing was purchased or built, none of the loans were repaid, it might even be part of the investigation.

Sometimes Democracy works - this is one of those times.
Take a bow, Mike Laws - for a person who's been as maligned as you have over the years, once again the result of your actions has shown what a damn good-hearted person you are.
