Staff Sgt Robert Bales, the US soldier accused of shooting dead 16 Afghan civilians, owes $1.5 million after he defrauded an elderly couple in a "malicious" scam shortly before he joined the Army.
Bales was working as a stockbroker in Ohio in 2000 when client Gary Liebschner asked him to sell his stocks to pay for medical bills, but Mr Liebschner and his wife never received the money.
Bales was not criminally charged but the case against him and several colleagues went to arbitration in May 2000. Bales never turned up at a hearing and, 18 months later, enlisted in the military.
According to records from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (Finra) the case was resolved in 2003 when an arbitration panel found that Bales had "engaged in fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, churning, unauthorised trading and unsuitable investments." Full story...
