VA Fraud- Pax River Family Affair Update
Wheels of justice grind slow but grind fine
– Sun Tzu
Our ninja sends us the latest on the egregious scheme that defrauded the Department of Veterans Affairs of over 1M USD. A US Federal Judge has passed sentence on Angela Marie Farr, 36, of Lexington Park Maryland. Farr also conspired with her mother, Mary Francis Biggs, age 65 and also of Lexington Park, Maryland.
Lexington Park Woman Sentenced To 30 Months In Federal Prison For Obtaining Over $1 Million In Fraudulent Disability Benefits
Defendant Submitted Fraudulent Documents to the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and Social Security Administration
Greenbelt, Maryland – U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis sentenced Angela Marie Farr, age 36, of Lexington Park, Maryland, yesterday to 30 months in federal prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release, for conspiracy to commit theft of government property and for theft of government property, in connection with a scheme to obtain fraudulently disability benefits from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) and the Social Security Administration (“SSA”). Judge Xinis also ordered Farr to forfeit an amount equal to the proceeds obtained as a result of the fraud by paying a money judgment of $475,751, and ordered Farr pay restitution in the full amount of the government’s losses, which is at least $1,010,702.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Erek L. Barron; Special Agent in Charge Kim R. Lampkins, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Office of Inspector General (OIG), Mid-Atlantic Field Office; and Special Agent in Charge Michael McGill of the Social Security Administration – Office of Inspector General (SSA-OIG), Philadelphia Field Division.
According to her guilty plea, Farr organized a conspiracy in which she submitted false and fraudulent documents to the VA in support of her disability compensation claims, as well as for the disability claims for her then-husband, Michael Vincent Pace, and for her father, Individual 1. The fraudulent documents stated that Farr, Pace, and Individual 1 were homebound and required full-time assistance for basic tasks such as eating, bathing, and dressing. In fact, all three individuals lived active lives and did not require such assistance.

30 months in Club Fed, never come close to repaying the theft, and done. At least she’ll never have a security clearance again.
Right?
Mom was convicted on 15 August 2022 for conspiracy and for theft of government property in connection with the scheme. Her sentencing is slated for late November. Happy Thanksgiving. And real thanks to our own ninja. Be glad she’s on our side.

Thank You, AW1Ed, for posting this.
Angela Marie Farr of Lexington Park, Maryland and Michael Vincent Pace (once the Husband of Angela and the other Defrauder) have 3 sons, all Elementary School age.
Those children have been in the middle of custody/child support battles for quite some time. Sadly, they are the ones who are suffering because of their parents/grandparents greed.
The 3 boy’s Grandmother is Mary Francis Biggs, also of Lexington, Maryland, who will be sentenced on 18 November 2022, most likely to Federal prison as well.
So sad. Those boys’ Mother and Grandmother will most likely be in Federal prison around Thanksgiving or Christmas.
Wonder how Billy Biggs, SR of Lexington, Maryland, the Father of Angela Farr, the Husband of Mary Biggs, the Grandfather of those 3 boys who us identified as “Individual 1” will explain that to his Grandsons during the Holidays?
The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil.
I imagine the manner in which he explains it will go a long way toward how those grandchildren grow into adulthood.
It would be great if every child became a functional and honorable adult due to the good example of their parents. Sadly, too many must do so despite parental guidance.
Too often, the cycle of shit is an inescapable downward spiral.
Public Information.
Angela Marie Farr has gone by several names to include Angela Marie Biggs, Angela Marie Pace, Angela Marie Farr and now Angela Marie Cook or Cooke.
Her boyfriend that she claims is her husband is Edward Cook, who is a retired US Navy “Aviation Support Equipment Warfare/Surface Warfare”.
He is from Elko, Nevada and graduated from Elko High School (Yes…THAT Elko, Nevada).
He owns a business, Ivy River Tables, in Calloway, Maryland:

You can read about Angela and Ed under the section “Our Story” “Who We Are” at the link.
Well, she is certainly easy on the eyes. Her cellmates have something to look forward to cuddle with this holiday season.
The “Ladies” of Cell Block C will consider her to be a Jumbo Pack of Juicy Fruit…everybody gets a piece. Wonder if Big Bertha, Muff Dive Molly, or Strap on Sally will be FIRST?
Thieving Bitch.
Don’t forget “Fisting Fridays”. 😲
AW1Ed first posted the story about Angela Marie Farr and her Mother, Mary Francis Biggs, at this link:

He then posted an update on 14 March 2022 about Angela admitting her guilt:
“VA Fraud: It’s A Family Affair” UPDATE”
https://valorguardians.com/blog/?p=90930
Then, on 19 August 2022, he posted another update reference Angela’s Mother, Mary Francis Biggs being found GUILTY of her role in fraud:
“VA Fraud-Pax River Family Affair Conviction”

The comments on all 3 postings are interesting since some comments came from folks outside the TAH community. We think those commentators were either Angela, her Mother, Mary, her Father, Billy or her boyfriend, Ed.
According to this 18 August 2022 Stars and Stripes article, Billy Biggs, Sr was unaware for a while of the scam involving him.
We don’t believe it.
“Navy Wife Convicted Of Defrauding VA of $170K By Faking Husband’s Disability”
https://www.stripes.com/theaters/us/2022-08-18/navy-wife-veterans-affairs-fraud-conviction-7026022.html
“For at least part of the scam, the mother-daughter team kept him unaware of the phony claims in his name. It’s unclear when or how much he ended up learning about the fraud.”
As Billy Biggs, Sr’s Trustee, Mary Biggs then collected his VA payments and spent the money on daily living expenses, cruise vacations and a kitchen renovation.
Billy Biggs, Sr retired from the US Navy in 1997. The fraud went on from 2016-2019.
According to the source:
“Farr also admitted that she conspired with and assisted her then-husband and her father, both of whom are former members of the U.S. Military, to obtain additional disability benefits by exaggerating their existing claims and documenting those exaggerated claims with forged and fraudulent documentation. As a result, Farr’s father was found to be 100 percent disabled and was awarded SMC.”
“Farr’s father received $168,074 in VA benefits to which he was not entitled, from which the VA has recovered approximately $4,035. At the time of the claims, Farr’s father was a civilian employee of the Navy, supervising a logistics unit of 25 people.”
Wonder when he found out about the fraud using his name and service?

The other bizarre thing is that even though Angela Marie Farr and Mary Francis Biggs were found guilty collecting money from the VA and SSA, both of them still went on vacations at the Daytona Speedway in Florida or The Bearcreek Mountain Resort in PA with their “better half” (unless those were Fakebook posts lies).
Amazing.
Billy Biggs, Sr even tried to convince everyone on his Fakebook account that “his Bride” was still making cakes to sell.
Same with Angela Farr with the Ivy River Table business.
Angela got Farr keeping a fast Pace with Biggs money being made.
I wonder if All-Points Logistic is paying them earned sick time / leave during their incarceration.
By best guess is that the False Commander “Phony” Phil Monkress (CEO of All-Points Logistics) is pocketing the coin involved for himself.
Stealing ain’t easy, but might be worth the time!
Phildostyle!
So, she will do about two years in the pound, after committing dozens of federal wire and other fraud crimes totaling $1million, but protesters who were let into the capitol and wandered around taking selfies are getting up to six years.
Take the $1 million-plus. Pick out at random 10 disabled vets turned down for increased disability. Give them the money.
