Anthony Gambino/Martinez; phony security
According to KRQE, a New Mexico man was arrested by a joint task force of local police and Homeland Security agents for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Anthony Gambino/Anthony Martinez ran yet another security company “Gambino Security Safety Corporation“;
Homeland Security agents say Gambino is formerly known as “Anthony Martinez.” Turns out, he’s a convicted felon in New Mexico under that name.
In 1993, he was convicted of commercial burglary, failure to appear in court on a felony and fraud. He didn’t serve time for these crimes. But he did serve time for another felony conviction in 1997 out of La Plata County, Colorado.
He was convicted of “menacing involving a deadly weapon” and went to prison for a year and half.
Of course, there’s a stolen valor tinge to his bio – Gambino claimed to be a Marine with a Purple Heart.
Gambino made it easy for the feds – he brought a gun to his meeting with them and admitted to having six more firearms at home. In addition, he posted YouTube videos and Facebook videos of himself in possession of firearms.

There’s stupid, and then there’s felony stupid. This goes beyond felony stupid and into “do you have to be reminded to breathe” fucktardedness.
Weapons-grade stupid.
You mean like certain other felons who have posed on YouTube with guns?
No need to advertise your stupidity, boys. Really.
Hmmm, Sorry, Bro, don’t think your cousin Vinnie will be able to help you out on this one.
You’re *going down* in more ways than one.
Dumbass.
I wonder if his buddys are felons too? https://www.facebook.com/Gambino-Security-Safety-Corporation-118477091834001/photos
At least he was smart and posted the evidence on his FB account. At least he made it easy to get a conviction.
Yes at least one of them is – only in the video he was smart enough to not show his face on the video. So you are right this guy is a special kind of stupid.
Considering the long history of the last name “Gambino” with respect to organized crime, I’m guessing this guy could well have “some ‘splainin’ to do” when he gets to prison.
Right. I can see him wanting to change his name in order to conceal a criminal past. But if one wants to go into a “legitimate” business, changing one’s name to “Gambino” seems like a foolish move.
Does he like bunnies? I’m thinking he’s fan of the bunny.
This moron changed his name cause he thought it would make him a badass. But he’s a punk ass.
What’s this? A Gambino pretending to be a Martinez? My head is spinning!
Night Shift Security Guard – All Points Logistics.
Easy.
Turd.
Cocksucker.
Looks like another felon who’s gonna be seeing cocmkeat sammiches and tubesteak (with plenty of nutbutter and manmayo available) at the prison poundhimintheass Deli (owned and operated by Thor, Bubba, Julio and Mr. “Tiny”)!
Maybe Anthony Martinez err Gambino will be bunk mates with James Deon Kofhage. Oh the stories they can share….
Me and Bubba see him soon. Him have purty mouth.
Did he really think just changing his name would allow him to get away with this? Sounds like a new kind of stupid, the dumbsh*t variety.
He should have just changed his first name to Palmer.
I may be a dumb ass but why the fuck don’t they make these companies get bonded to teach any type of weapons Tactics and handling or physical security shit.
This would stop these fucks from doing this shit having a background check to form a PMC company would make sense right…
The company was approved by the Federal Government for work in the middle east. Only Security & instructors were all prior military ,law enforcement and even Fed., CEO does not train. Not a Felon in Nm after 10 yrs and can actually carry a firearm. One should research everything before making comments. CEO knew high government personnel…again…Homeland Security & not ATF? Exactly how President Obama was elected twice…follow the leader.
Bullshit
This is Tony’s reply – because he the Feds busted him for felony in possession of a firearm so 10 years my A
This Mall Cop Wannabee was also arrested under the Stolen valor Act in New Mexico. Go tough guy!

Stupid me. Thought I had discovered something when I could have clicked on the KRQE link in the beginning of the story. Sorry about that.
Hi Jarhead, I just wish they would arrest my dumbass brother the was featured here a while back! Check out David “Doc” Shrum! He would really make this guy a amature! Plus, he is still getting his 3K a month for his phony PTSD claim. I love this site and read it everyday. I just can’t wait until they hopefully clamp the silver bracelets on this dickhead! Thank you for your service!
I worked with this guy several years ago in North Dakota. He claimed to be a former 1stSgt from 4th Force at that time. He never overextended his hand back then and I, being a Battalion level guy never got to know many of the Force guys and had no reason to doubt him. We didn’t work side by side or anything but would run into each other once a month or so.
He recently approached me about working for his Security Company he has going on some “contract” in Iraq. Even claimed to have a former FBI Agent working with him and was asking if I was interested in dusting off my Corpsman skills. Glad I turned that down. I’m way to slow and fat to play anymore and it seems to have worked out pretty darned good for me.
Doc
It seems to me that most legit guys don’t try to strike out on their own. They simply carry it over to Federal or Local Law Enforcement.
Probably because they have the actual credentials.
The Phonies figure they can Go out and fabricate credentials for a private business.
Turd Bolling, Cheeseslayer, Jared Stern and that AJ Dickens all were phony security guys.
This guy used to claim he was a marine recon and said he served in desert storm and had a Purple Heart. He used to wear the uniform with all the medals attached. This guy has conned everyone from military recruiters to police departments. Once even conned his way into instructing ROTC at a high school. He’s a real piece of work. Hopefully this time he won’t be able to talk his way out of this one.
He came back to Kurdistan working as a safety man with cosmetic surgery (new pecs & triceps) & claimed it was an operation to remove shrapnel ….not instant muscles. ….this is how he rolls, I think he believes himself.
No this idiot believes everything says – which makes him a sociopath- if his mouth is moving he is lying.

Tony, You’re a dick.
It’s not Libel if it’s true.
😀 😀
Yeah, and he might want to check with his lawyer about another item.
Pretty sure that in the US, libel is almost always a civil tort vice a crime. One of our lawyer commenters can probably confirm or correct me here.
His email address is “1sgt.gambino@” so, no stolen valor there.
His CV with a pic of him in uniform laced with medals…check out all his citations 🙂 Anthony (Tony) Gambino 1613 East 22nd Street Farmington, New Mexico 87401 (505)860-8014 1sgt.gambino@gmail.com Summary In applying for this position I will be utilizing knowledge I acquired through my education and previous job position as a Safety Auditor at Power Plants.

I slept at a Holiday Inn Express so…
If I was this alleged Fake Marines potential Stolen Valor legal counsel, I would probably advise him to not have any contact with Mr. Lilyea.
Since he is full of Integrity there should be nothing stopping him from going on the record with a statement that the Sheriff and Department of Homeland Security Officers are making false claims.
Here, let me help:
I, (State your name) have never told anyone that I was a United States Marine or that I had ever been awarded the Purple Heart Medal. The San Juan County Sheriff and Homeland Security agents have made false statements attesting that I have.
Bambino: it doesn’t matter what rights you got back in Colorado. You got caught with a gun in New Mexico. I doubt that they have restored your right to own a weapon.
Your little party is gonna be fun to watch…
Good grief, I had far better grammar, spelling and comprehension than that when I was in the third grade! Is he really going full Bernath?
Bring it the fuck on you illiterate shit head!!!!!!!!
He should really learn to spell and get a grasp on basic grammar before he starts sending out letters and e-mails and threats and stuff.
Why is it that these wads of used tissue are almost entirely functionally illiterate?
Hey Jack-Ass Bambino – what part of the news story and reports from the Sherriff and Feds is libelous?
“SJCSO also says Gambino told the Sheriff that he served in the Marines.
SJCSO called the Feds to help out with an investigation. During an undercover sting Thursday, Gambino again said he was in the military and claimed to have a Purple Heart medal, according to the Homeland Security agents.
He had a gun with him at the time he was arrested, and even admitted to having six more guns at his home.”
You are soooo fucked. This is going to be funny…
This ass wipe just plead guilty to stolen valor and felon in possession of a fire arm in federal court – FACT!!
This guy lives in a fantasy world – by the way this well respected fine citizen duchebag is $30,000 behind in Child support and $10.000 behind in insurance payments for his kids. Has never made a Lyme t unless his wages were garnished – but found the money to buy 5 cars set his parents up in a house – have all his vehicles wrapped in camp and set up with LED flashers like some kind of hillbilly cop – and had enough cash to drop $ 30,000 cash on an $800,000 house but can’t take care of his kids. Oh and astic surgery for his pecs and triceps. You cans tuff yourself with what ever you want your still a punk.
Well respected in the community my A – talk the local sheriffs office and police departments.
