Former military records technician accused of bilking millions of dollars from US soldiers and vets

Federal prosecutors accused a former military medical records technician of bilking millions of dollars from thousands of US service members and veterans in a far-reaching identity theft scheme, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.

Fredrick Brown, a civilian who served for years at an Army base in South Korea, allegedly snapped digital photos of the personal information of military-connected individuals logged in a medical records system and shared them with associates who are accused of then breaking into victims' internal Defense Department accounts and stealing sensitive banking information.
