Joyell “J.D.” Riley; phony female veteran indicted for cancer scam

| July 1, 2016

Joyell Riley

Joyell “J.D.” Riley claimed to be a “highly decorated combat veteran” female Marine who was suffering from breast cancer. She set up a GoFundMe tincup and started collecting money. Well, neither of those were true according to the Mansfield News-Journal;

As part of the scheme to defraud, Joyell “J.D.” Riley, 41, of Mansfield, falsified a U.S. military form and represented to members and veterans of the U.S. military and others across the country through the internet that she was a combat veteran and served as a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps. according to the court document, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio Eastern Division.

Riley is the founder of a local organization, Mission Possible, that regularly feeds homeless veterans on the south side of Mansfield Central Park.

The indictment said Riley caused financial contributions made to the Riley Cancer GoFundMe account to be transferred by wire, in interstate commerce from accounts outside Ohio.

According to Cleveland.com, contributions from 32 people came into her account from across the country and it all went straight into her personal account.

Riley, reached by phone on Thursday, acknowledged that she did not serve in the military.

No FOIA necessary.

Why do these con artists always pick the military?

Pinto Nag

Because the religious charity scam gets old; you can tell better stories in military scams.

So has she ever even served at all? I can’t wait to see some FOIA results on her!

MrBill

The linked stories indicate she never served; in the second, one, the reporter talked to her on the phone and she admitted to it.

A Proud Infidel®™

Gee whiz, what a surprise – NOT! I wonder what other con games we’ll find out she’s been pulling?

AW1Ed

Double douche-baggery: taking funds from folks who thought they were helping Vets, and causing doubt in other, legit charities. Toss it in a cell and throw the cell away.

B Woodman

Wrong. . . toss UNDER a cell, and throw away the key.

I’d prefer using a HAZMAT landfill instead.

Pinto Nag

Bed pan duty on a cancer ward. On the night shift.

Hack Stone

She would have gotten away with it if she thought of getting a therapy dog. Nothing says legit like a therapy dog.

I bet you’d still hit it without even a paper bag!

Until IDC starts doing goats doggie style on stage in public, I’m going to guess this is a “No Go”.

IDC SARC

Haven’t ruled it out.

B Woodman

Which one? Riley? Or the goats in public doggy style?

IDC SARC

yes

Go to the newspaper link and take a gander at that hog.

jarhead

Damn 2/17….awfully nice of you to use such kind words. Yep, I followed your advice and could only come up with one conclusion. That is a tattoo-infested DYKE if EVER I saw one. So as it turns out, she apparently was not in the picture at the top of this page. Hell, even the dude in the red shirt had longer hair than her. However, looking over the shoulder of the big titty one in pink, there appears to be a black dude sitting there; and he has short hair. Could that be HER in black face?

Maybe if they had cancer they wouldn’t be so eager to claim it.

SFC D

It ain’t as much fun as these posers would have you believe

Silentium Est Aureum

A number of my family have died of it.

One reason why the list of people upon whom I would wish cancer is a very short one.

HMCS(FMF) ret.

Hopefully the skank gets to do some time with Butch, Shaniqua, Juanita and Strap-on Sally in jail for her shitbaggery

jarhead

Which one of these fat ass scanks in the picture is her? looks like this was taken at a Lard Ass Reunion with one red-shirted phony in it.
The newspaper link showed the Fat Ass Poser (FAP) as not even having been sick to begin with. For that, I say cut off her tits, attach them to her ears so she will look like Dumbo, and then sew about five dicks to her so she will never know which one she will be taking a leak from. Multiple Dick Syndrome (MDS)…it’s what ALL posers need!

David

Might hold off on the comments about the others in the pic, as it seems they are there to feed, or may actually be, homeless vets. She may be a LSOS but that doesn’t mean the others there are. Just a thought

jarhead

Sorry David. Did not mean it impune all present. Too often I think “Birds of a feather flock together”. That being said, I can’t spend the rest of my life worrying about offending everyone. For all either of us know, she may not have even been in this photograph. Saying, “She may be a LSOS” is like saying Charles Mansion might have had a mean streak.
Anyway friend, no offense taken.

I may sound heartless but I refuse to take anyone at their word who claims to be a “homeless veteran”; at least not the rag tag street type. The stereotype of the homeless combat vet who is so distraught from the “shit he’s seen” is just that–a stereotype. There are homeless vets–but very very few are homeless BECAUSE they are vets. As TAH has reported before a majority of homeless vets had abbreviated service because they could not adapt to military structure, and then had the same difficulty adjusting to being a civilian adult. I do care about homeless vets. I care about the homeless 20-something vet who is having to crash on various friends couches while trying to hold down a low-paying job and going to school. But it’s hard for him to get on his feet because his credit is jacked because AAFES/NEX threw credit limits at an 18-year old kid who didn’t have the income or the majority to handle that credit. I’m not as concerned about street folks getting a free lunch in a park….because unless they can prove they’re a veteran….I don’t believe it.

As a confirmed tit man, I lean toward the one in the pink. After all, one of those big ol’ mammaries can be seen bulging out under the right arm.

Casey

If you follow the Mansfield News-Journal link you’ll see a photo of “her.” Doesn’t look like she’s in the shot Jonn posted.

She looks more like Jonah Hill than anyone else…

Sam

She is the one in the red standing up.

Sam

She is the one in red standing.

Veritas Omnia Vincit

Here’s hoping she gets prosecuted properly for this fraudulent activity as the criminal she is. Preying on the good will our citizens have for soldiers these days is the worst of the worst I think…public caning might be appropriate.

Nasty !!!!!! Nasty nasty ?????

Wrong emoji the above is the correct one…

“Turdette’ as well?

Cocksuckess.

Oh,

You mean Phildo.

It didn’t get shit for time. I found an article that showed what she was sentenced with but there are also other charges she hasn’t been sentenced for. I saw that a few had asked what she got for what she did so I saw this article and figured I’d share it for those who wanted the information. I could never imagine lying about serving ( I didn’t) but to go as far as saying you have cancer currently and taking money too from people who don’t have it really. Ratings aren’t a shit ton, so to steal from people who barely keep a roof over their heads I’m sure, like the one who said he’d donated $500. I could never sink so low.
The punishment was ( fucking lame should have spent time behind bars for this) :
The Mansfield News Journal reports that Riley was sentenced Monday to three years probation and ordered to pay $3515 in restitution, $7,500 and ordered to pay a $100 special assessment to the court. Considering she faced up to 20 years in prison and a $20,000 fine, not bad.
