Since 1988, Crane has been receiving the top pension awarded to returned servicemen. He has received at least $380,000, as well as a bonus $25,000 ex gratia payment made to former wartime prisoners, as well as a Commonwealth Gold Card covering all medical expenses. Hope he pays all that back. Doubt it though.
It just goes to prove that people who lie are usually caught out sooner or later and this man is no exception. Wearing medals that one is not entitled to is is one thing, but this went way past into obtaining large sums of money through percunary advantage. I believe he is certain to face jail time.

What did the Commonwealth Veteran Affairs department do ? Surely they checked his credentials before giving him a whacking great pension and a Gold Card. Some one need a good toe in the nether regions. David
