Gregory Charles Banks; the phony just passing through
So one of our readers is a Mason up in Connecticut and this dude passes through his lodge on the way back from his combat assignments. Sometimes he’s in ACUs, other times he’s wearing his blues, like in the picture above. Of course, he’s Special Forces (isn’t everyone, these days) and in addition to his duties as an Army officer, he’s also a counselor with two offices. The man is a freakin’ machine.
Well, he didn’t turn up in any of my databases, but, you know, he’s probably so secret squirrel that he wouldn’t, but CID can’t find him either. Nor can NPRC;
We’re told that his lodge just threw him a big celebration for his recent award of the Bronze Star Medal so obviously, he loves attention – so here is all of the attention you could ever want, Greg-baby. It looks to me like he stole a midget’s jacket.
Added; more pics;
I emailed these pictures to our counselor friend, Greg Charles Banks and asked if these are not him in the photos, and he hasn’t answered back. I guess he’s going with “identity theft” as an explanation.
OK, I just got an email from him and he admits that this is him in this picture taken at the lodge not wearing the uniform;
I don’t know, you judge.

There are Star Wars conventions and Star Trek conventions. People dress up like Bobba Fett and Wookies and Jedi warriors. I think there’s even someone who dresses up like Han Solo. At Star Trek cons, people dress up in all eras of Starfleet uniforms. They even wear Starfleet medals and rank insignia. Some of them (not saying who but I know her personally) even make up stories about the decades after ST:NG and invent their own uniforms and rank insignia and medals.
And I can affirm that when some guy dresses up like a Klingon, he is one hot potato! Even the chunky guys are hot as Klingons. I guess it must be the cranial ridges. We all know that Klingons are really buttheads, right?
But NOBODY claims to have ANY intention other than having some fun with it and having a chance to meet Captain Picard or Captain Kirk or Q or the late, great Montgomery Scott.
Hey, Alex Shitstick, if you’re just starting your so-called brilliant career, do you REALLY want to drag it through the mud by association with this sleazoid, scumbag CHARLES GREGORY BANKS?
Gweggy ‘Cody’ Banks is such a pussypants that he can’t even speak for himself. He has to hide behind a PR rep’s skirts. (Seriously?) This just shows he can’t be trusted. This is NOT what adults do, alex.
If you’re smart, Alex Whoosywhatsis, you’ll make sure that piece of crap pays you in cash and RIGHT NOW, and tell him to go the f8ck up. Then leave without looking back. Just make sure you get paid before you do.
I will be werider by the time it is all over … Trust me!
E-mail sent MCPO, sorry I didn’t get back to you last night.
I would like to offer up a neutral meeting place to recover the military uniforms and decorations.
The US Army Reserve Center in West Hartford, this is also the home of the 143rd MP Company. I personally guarantee no harm will come to anyone during a meeting. I will also have a Trooper present and as long as your not wearing the uniform he has agreed not to arrest you. Possession of the uniforms is not a crime, however wearing them and impersonating a Commissioned Officer is.
Let MCPO know if this is agreeable and we can set it up.
If Fregory C. Banks’s PR boy is only 18, I wonder how poser it conned him into that? My advice to “Alex” the PR man: POP SMOKE AND BUG OUT, you don’t know who you’re messing with over here!
At MSGT Retired. Good suggestion. Get info to Ken ASAP.
Gregory Charled Banks fraud now has been fully exposed.
My job is done here.
All parts of the Truth System are fully functional, up to speed and on the govenor.
Enjoy the Truth System Greggee Boy.
Alex … I will ask everyone here not to expose your info because of your youth, inexperience and asshattery of a child. Although you deserve some recognition for your moronish involvement we will endevour not to expose here.
I have one parting word for Alex: RUN!
Parting word for Greggee: SURRENDER!
Happy Tuesday to all of you. and WOOT!!!!
as a lovely Army unit I like to follow 2/327 No FARKING SLACK!!!
Good Jerbs everyone!!
😀
Did I tell you that Alex was pretending to be a Marine? His LinkedIn page is gone now, after Operator Dan ran his name on MOL and I told him that we knew, but I got a screenshot yesterday. Alex says that he’s “coming after” me if I mention it. So….
@358: Come at me, bro!!
Lol!! I crack myself up 🙂
Hmmmm. Methinks that little bit of stupidity (e.g., making false claims concerning military service, then threatening someone if they expose same) is far enough over the line to justify cancelling “Alex” getting a pass due to youth and ignorance. But maybe that’s just me.
Wee Alex is comin’ fer ye, eh, Jonn?
Oh, I’d really like to see that. I would pay for a ringside seat. (Falls down laughing.)
On another note, a rare bottle of Imperiale Macallan M single malt scotch in a 6 liter Lalique decanter sold at auction in Hong Kong for $628,205 a few days ago. Only 4 decanters of this Macallan exist. And no one will EVER drink it. They’ll just stare at it and wonder if it’s as good as its reputation.
The analogy is that the Imperiale Macallen M, a/k/a TAH/JLilyea, is a rare vintage sippin’ whiskey, and gweggy charles ‘cody’ banks is just a cheap $2 bottle of corner liquor store hooch, the kind you hide in a paper bag.
Carry on!
Well, Alex said that he went to boot camp at PI but that he got booted this last summer (he graduated from high school in June), but I can’t verify that. Regardless, he’s not in MOL. His LinkedIn profile said he was in the USMC, but he said it was just that he hadn’t had an opportunity to update it yet. But strangely enough he removed it right after our little conversation.
OH, and lest I regret the omission, wee Alex is that green beer from the Prohibition speakeasy era that no one wanted to drink.
Gregory A Banks…..You’re a poopyhead.
Alex..you’ve made it up to the ranks of amateur turd.
Maybe some day Green Thumb will promote you to “full Turd”.
We can only wonder how long greggy has “known” Alex. Could explain a lot.
In the interest of full disclosure – that comment was thrown in for any law enforcement who may be monitoring this topic. We have observed an unnaturally high number of posers who are also pedophiles. No data on that yet, but, there does seem to be a relationship between stealing military valor and inappropriate contact with minors.
So, please, any law enforcement types reading this – always look very closely at military posers. There is always additional criminality lurking within these posers.
Otherwise, looks like the soap opera part of this drama is about to begin.
OWB, you read my mind.
Is it possible that these two turdpunchers can get into the next tournament in the same bracket, or would they be under separate ones? Either way, should be entertaining.
Banks knows he’s fucked, and sends a boy to do his dirty work for him.
That is the total antithesis of a Mason. I’ve yet to run into one who wasn’t a stand-up guy who takes responsibility for his actions.
Guess that’s why Banks isn’t a Mason anymore.
But Banksie, you know what you CAN add to your resume very soon? CONVICTED FELON. Say that with me. CONVICTED FELON GREGORY BANKS. Kinda rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
Was it worth all of this, scooter? Yeah, didn’t think so.
The Stolen Valor playbook once again proves to be predictable. Remember when Wickre was “helping” his BFF Monkress? Wickre also falsely claimed to be military at the beginning, right? Seems like the “helper” sycophants are just as flawed as their stolen valor buddies.
Snow day here in DC. Starting to come down.
Department of Health, CT is looking into allegations surrounding Gregory Charles Banks.
Jonn,
After appropriate redactions please post!
In your service,
MCPO
@362. “But strangely enough he removed it right after our little conversation.” Amazing. I am always intrigued by coincidences. And, certainly, that was a coincidence. It makes me think of another coincidence, one that two of my brothers used to experience. Just as one was about to shout “Ouch!’ the other stabbed him with a pin. I was always amazed by that coincidence too.
This website is full of amazing patriots and team members. Thank you all.
Turds of a feather flock together.
So Alex, you’re a wannabee Marine, huh?
Fuck you, too.
Just a hunch, but maybe someone could find out if his 18 y/o “PR” rep was ever a patient of his. He did advertise that he counseled children.
So let me get this straight. Gregory Charles Banks poses as an Army Officer in front of God and everyone. Then when the shit hits the fan he finds for himself a PR guy. Someone named Alex, who is a recent high school grad who himself, claims or claimed to be a Marine. Only to find out he is not a Marine. Birds of a feather…comes to mind.
Thanjks for all your hard work Jonn and Master Chief. Hand salute.
Cav “Doc:” That is some of the potential “inappropriate contact with minors” that I plead with law enforcement personnel to research in comment #365.
This 18-year old seriously needs to be contacted by law enforcement, licensing boards, and a multitude of other people.
It’s in the interest of protecting the “chilrun”. If they check, and nothing is there, no harm done. If there is something there though…… ???
The “PR” rep seemed a bit emotionally involved from the quotes above. It bears some looking into. As has been pointed out before, someone willing to be this unethical, probably has not isolated his misbehavior to just getting free meals and pats on the back. A nice bright light needs to be directed into all potentially dark corners of his closet.
100% agreed with Cav Doc.
Wait, I thought he claimed “identity theft” (see @72) and the pics weren’t him?!?!

See anything that sounds familiar?
There seems to be a lot of APD and NPD going around, IMHO. I’m not a certified mental health professional. I just stay at Holiday Inn Express on occasion.
I still say there is a great Psychology PhD thesis just waiting to be written on posers that can be gleened from these threads. Or an autobiography in some cases.
I bet, in his off time, he wears stinky, sweaty, skid marked spandex like *SOMEONE ELSE* we all love to hate.
@379 Chip-
I think the empty gas tank guy is more like him. They both exhibit familiar traits we should envy of car superiority and grand vacations in their writings, IMHO.
Read the whole thing and check off those things that sound familiar:

Yeah, I checked off the whole thing too.

“Just a hunch, but maybe someone could find out if his 18 y/o “PR” rep was ever a patient of his. He did advertise that he counseled children.”
DPH of CT is looking into investigating Gregory Charles Banks.
The notion above, regarding Alex being a former patient is interesting and if it pays out that he was … that is serious trouble for Banks in terms of his CT License and National for Board Certified Counselors (NBCC) standing.
As indicated above in previous posts, as a private citizen, the allegations have been formally presented to both entities.
Speculation regarding a patient client relationship may not be approriate here there are laws to be concerned with. And if evidence is developed it should be done by DPH of CT and NBCC.
Oh, ChipNASA, probably more like a corset and a girdle to keep the jiggle from overflowing.
There is not enough spandex in the world, you know. psul the uncool has cornered the market on it.
GREGORY CHARLES ‘CODY’ BANKS IS A BLATANT COWARD, IN ADDITION TO BEING A PROVEN LIAR.
Off Topic:
I am not a big fan of Cananada and its socialist ways.
I am a big fan however of thier military, traditions, the number of gaelic types, their love and association with the sea … etc.
But recently, I have come to love a specific product made in Cananada. Unlike some of you younger dickweeds and like some of you older folk moving around a wee bit slower, I enjoy the smaller things in life, those routine daily tasks, some important and many not.
I am speaking of course of my daily application of Old Spice.
If you have never enjoyed a fresh shave with the sebsequent application of the noxious aroma of Old Spice … you have not lived the life of a real man!
In addition, Old Spice probably has some of the funniest and truthful online marketing material I have ever seen just for men!
Just Google “funny old spice labels” and see what I mean!
BLUF: Originally designed for women in 1937, the overwhelmingly bueatiful and pleasant stench caused the creator to shift to men … Old Spice is a man’s product, a damn good one and Cananada must be protected at all cost!
Great tag from Old Spice:
“If your grandfather hadn’t worn it, you wouldn’t exist.”

@383…MCPO….Ah, good old “Old Spit”
😀 (LMFAO)
@383: My dad wore that stuff and look what happened. That’s right; y’all have Old Spice to thank for ME!!!! Bwahahahahaha!!!
@383 Master Chief, my grandfather, my father and now I wear Old Spice and have for years. I have a drawer full of gifts of other scents. But the go to flavor for after a close shave is Old Spice.
By the way, Massengill, the champion of feminine hygiene products is coming out with a new “Masculine Hygiene Deodorant Spray”…It is called “UMPIRE”…for foul balls.
I crack myself up sometimes. 😀
Tell the truth, MCPO – the real reason you’re talking about Old Spice is that you bought the BS in those old TV commercials featuring the handsome fake sailor and are now too ashamed to admit it! (smile)
Seriously: I don’t use the after shave or cologne, but their deodorant is excellent. Ditto their bar soap/soap on a rope (when you can find it).
Won’t stoop to using their body wash, though. Soap should come in a bar, not a bottle.
Bruce Campbell says it all right here:
Old Spice? Hah! There’s something about an AquaVelva man. 😛
@387 Hondo, you’re a man for sure. NO BODY WASH EVER. Soap, real soap, from the PX, in a bar. Try putting your little bottle of “body wash” in your foot locker in basic training and see what the Drill Sergeant has to say about that.
“By the way, Massengill, the champion of feminine hygiene products is coming out with a new “Masculine Hygiene Deodorant Spray”…It is called “UMPIRE”…for foul balls.”
I got no comments or laughs about the above. What is wrong with you guys today? Leave your senses of humor in your sock drawer or what? 😀
I got lots of bottles of AquaVelva if anyone wants to pay the shipping to have it. Real men, I mean REAL MEN, wear…Hai Karate!
greggyboy, you are a scumbag poser who’s also a disgusting lowlife piece of shit. Enjoy the fame, and as Hondo says, GFY!!!
Wow… Gregory may have some ethics problems, especially since his “PR man” Alex is somewhat younger and a liar? And the hits keep on comin’
Hai Karate – be careful how you use it
Sparks … thanks brother!
Message recieved!
Aqua Velva is swill compared to Old Spice.
Old Spice is liqiud gold, the moisture of life … Jesus would have splashed on Old Spice if he had ever shaved that beard of his!
@394 You are welcome Sir.
The hell with all those fancy sweet-smelling soaps. THIS is what you need!

@ NH … Oh … “I have it”
BTW … that commercial is OUTSTANDING and a blast from the past!
Yeah, that was pretty good, Sparks! But, hey – can’t laugh about it until it’s been read. We are very talented around here, but seriously?
Got a funny story about the body wash thing. Someone around here developed an allergy or something to the usual soaps and finally had to start using the foo-foo stuff in a bottle. Unscented, of course. Then we discovered that making soap at home solved the issue, but only after several years of using bottled body wash. Just ’cause we are, like, ya know, such sensitive, delicate people. Uh-huh.
@399 Thanks OWB. Homemade soap is cool too.
