an investigation revealed his undisclosed past (they didn't know, really?), and accusations by a republican activist has him resigning

FBI investigators with Operation Bullpen shut down their business and more than 50 others with a series of raids in 1999 that spanned the country from California to New Jersey - one of the biggest multi-site raids in the law enforcement agency's history.

'The FBI and IRS seized over $500,000 in cash and approximately $10 million in forged memorabilia, including over 10,000 forged baseballs,' the FBI later said. 'Items seized had autographs from athletes and celebrities like Mother Teresa, Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Roberto Clemente, and Sammy Sosa. '
'The long of the short is this, I fell into a network of scammers,' said Wong.
in her submitted court documents to a Georgia court:
'Stan Fitzgerald, Donna Fitzgerald, Jared Craig and other others are also accused of defrauding donors with another political organization named Veterans for America First/Veterans for Trump,' it says.

It accuses Fitzgerald and his allies of using a non-profit group to route donations to companies they controlled.

'It is alleged they were selling services through L Strategies, a Georgia based LLC to create fake Veterans organizations to solicit charitable donations across at least six states including VA, FL, GA, CT, TX or others,' runs the complaint.

Stan Fitzgerald announced Sunday he was resigning as the head of Veterans for Trump days after DailyMail.com revealed his history as a fraudster and concerns about the way he was running his fundraising effort. Fitzgerald, his wife and mother were part of a vast criminal ring that forged signatures on sports memorabilia before it was shut down by an FBI investigation that uncovered $100 million in fraud.
Details of his crime resurfaced in a legal battle with rightwing commentator Angie Wong, who fell out with him over the running of a network of political action committees and related lobbying companies, including Veterans for Trump, which is also known as Veterans for America First (VFAF). She said he hid his criminal past and was less than honest about the way he was running the group, and made a formal complaint to regulators that he set up look-alike for-profit groups designed to fraudulently attract donations. He in turn is suing her for defamation after she went public with her claims. She laid out her allegations in a complaint to the Federal Election Commission, which is among documents submitted to a Georgia court as part of their dueling cases.
