Add to another Stolen Valor and veteran charity fraud… but once again, Stolen Valor only gets lumped in due to financial fraud.
Newburgh Woman Stole Veteran-Earmarked Donations: Feds
Prosecutors said the woman also falsely claimed she was injured during her military service and was a Purple Heart recipient.NEWBURGH, NY — A Hudson Valley resident was accused of stealing from military charities and misrepresenting herself as a Purple Heart recipient.
Damian Williams, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Wednesday that Sharon Toney-Finch, 43, of Newburgh, was charged with wire fraud, theft of government funds, stolen valor and altering military discharge paperwork.
Prosecutors said that, between July 2019 and September 2023, Toney-Finch engaged in a scheme to defraud donors to her charitable organization by falsely claiming that donations would be spent solely to support homeless military veterans, when she actually spent the funds on personal expenses.
She also falsely claimed that she survived and was injured in a terrorist attack to a vehicle convoy in Iraq in March 2020 and that she is a Purple Heart recipient.

Looks like she is a hardened Veteran of assaulting the buffet line at all of the “all you can eat” establishments too.
PTS of D made her go back for thirds. /sarc
Looking at her, I can see that when the Master at arms yells move it up asshole to belly button on the chow line, the line will be out the door to the curb.
She has the ‘Thousand Yard Stare.”
No buffet is safe once she locks in.
What a giant, and I emphasize giant, piece of shit.
Be confident, this turd with a face doesn’t represent the people of Newburgh, there were/are heroes in their midst:
City dedicates SSG Santiago Frias Way (link) –
Rest Easy, my friend. We’ll keep watch…
A veteran of the Battle of the Golden Corral.
A woman like Damian has got a great big hole, right in the middle of her. She can never eat enough to ever fill it
Damian Williams is the US Attorney. Our lying dogfaced phony soldier is Sharon Toney-Finch.
And no pic of the diversity in the article…
Wonder why?
Let’s be real for a minute. A black female, brought up on charges of theft by a possible white DA, can the race card be far behind?
No doubt the plan for the deployment of The Card was being drawn up while you wrote the comment.
If it hasn’t already been thrown.
I’m sure that she has already thrown her ACME® Race Card™, her breed will do it every time.
Am I the only one who believes a “betrayal of public trust” enhancement should double the sentence?
Meal Team Six
She ate the SEALs.
Kentucky Fried Commando
A MEAL Team Six Buffet Assault Commando, I wonder what other con games she plays, but hasn’t been charged with yet?
Is the dude dressed up as an officer an accomplice?
He appears to be an infantry colonel.
Where’d you come up with that? In other pictures on the net he’s wearing Civil Affairs lapel insignia and is identified as Colonel Mark Baaden.
Yeah. I wondered the same thing.
He appears to be pinning an award on her.
A face that not even Ed Gein could love
