Robert Bales, the staff sergeant accused of massacring Afghan civilians, enlisted in the U.S. Army at the same time he was trying to avoid answering allegations he defrauded an elderly Ohio couple of their life savings in a stock fraud, according to federal documents reviewed by ABC News.
"He robbed me of my life savings," Gary Liebschner of Carroll, Ohio told ABC News.
Financial regulators found that Bales "engaged in fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, churning, unauthorized trading and unsuitable investments," according to a report on Bales filed in 2003. Bales and his associates were ordered to pay Liebschner $1,274,000 in compensatory and punitive damages but have yet to do so, according to Liebschner.

The U.S. soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan villagers does not remember the incident, his lawyer said Monday, but the Pentagon has announced that he could be charged within days.
Staff Sergeant Robert Bales�who prosecutors say returned to his base and turned himself in after the shooting rampage could face the death penalty if convicted, according to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta.
The 38-year-old trooper�s civilian attorney told CBS that the suspect cannot recall much about the deaths, which have plunged U.S.-Afghan relations to a new low and was soon followed by the Taliban breaking off possible peace talks.
�He has an early memory of that evening and he has a later memory� but he doesn�t have memory of the evening in between,� John Henry Browne told CBS News after meeting Bales for the first time at Fort Leavenworth military prison in Kansas. |
