Man who posed as sick veteran sentenced for Cambridge fraud spree – masslive.com

| May 11, 2019

Jeremy Wilson who was convicted earlier in New York has now been sentenced in Massachusetts.

A former Boston-area man has been sentenced to served six to seven years in a Massachusetts prison, after he completes a New York sentence, for a weeks-long scheme to defraud numerous Massachusetts businesses, schools and municipal agencies., including the Cambridge Veterans Services Department.

Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said Jeremy Wilson, 45, now serving a 14-year sentence in a New York State prison, entered guilty pleas to charges of forgery, uttering false documents, three counts of larceny over $250, credit card fraud over $250 and being a common and notorious person. He was sentenced by Judge Kathe Tuttman in Middlesex Superior Court Friday. He will begin his sentence in a Massachusetts prison once he has completed his New York term.

His earlier conviction in 2017 was reported as follows:

Wilson claimed to be a US Army veteran with two Purple Hearts, and a doctor with two Ph.D.s from MIT. He allegedly stole an MIT corporate credit card from the campus mailroom and forged checks in order to lease a $55,000 BMW X3 in Boston. He later used the same fake identity to land a $5,000-a-month apartment in the Financial District.

It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.  The BMW was really uncalled for.

“…and being a common and notorious person.”

Never heard of anyone being charged with this, before.

Guess they dropped the “being a abscessed sore on the buttocks of humanity and just being an all around Dick” charges.

“…common and notorious person…” (?) dahell?

A common thief and a notorious liar? How ’bout a notoriously common piece of sh^t that needs to be scraped off the bottom of your boots before you come inside? Hope Bubba, Thor, Julio, and Mr. “Tiny” have their way with this POSer. Next award will be the purple taint from the bruising they’ll give him. Unlike his claims to Purple Hearts, he’ll actually earn THAT award.

Enjoy your new love life in prison, mofo!

I guess it’s pretty common in Massachusetts.

Is that why it is called the Commonwealth of MA? (ducks and runs)

Buckeye Jim

Hell yes, it is common in Massachusetts. Just look at our congressional delegation.

“Thief” then, not “person.” Seems the journalist mistook the two.

Tallywhagger

No service dog?

For $5,000 per month I sure as hell would not rent in Boston. Maybe the apartment came with a reserved parking space for his BMW.

NHSparky

Probably not.

What an enterprising fellow! A lot more clever than some dead pilot, a lot more enterprising than those SVers who want the pats on the back. This guy went Big Time on everyone, until he got caught.

Enterprising, but not clever. If he were clever, he would not be in jail for a prolonged period now.

He has the “I dun screwed up” look down pat. Enjoy your time in prison Jeremy, you worthless weasel.

Nah, that’s the “I’m gonna be popular in Cell Block ‘D’ for a long time” look

Cameron Kingsley

For 14 years. Can’t say I have any sympathy for the little worm.

J Wright

“Middlesex County” Huh ?

The guy deserves the harshest death possible.

Warden threw a party in the County Jail, prison band was there and began to wail. Enjoy your stay Bozo and remember to bend your knees and touch your toes and someone will show you where the wild goose goes.

Complete POS
enjoy your free room and board

“and being a common and notorious person”?

I guess lowlife rat scum was already being used. Rot, asshole.

Inbred Redneck

Almost good enough punishment for him. I first wondered, though, if Common & Notorious was kinda like bein’ a Deplorable.

A skinny little boy like him is gonna fetch Bubba & Thor at least a couple cartons of cigarettes, especially if it’s for someone to bust his cherry. Many people say that only assholes get straightened out in prison and Jeremy Wilson is gonna find that out the HARD way during shower time with Bubba, Thor, Julio and “Tiny Tyrone, I bet that by the time he finishes his first sentence he’ll have some stretched out puffy cheeks as well!
