DAYTON, Ohio (WKRC) - Danny Dale Gordon, 48, of Kettering, has admitted to embezzling money from AMVETS, a nonprofit organization that supports veterans, WHIO reported.

Gordon, who served as an AMVETS post commander in Dayton from January 2022 to May 2024, pleaded guilty to wire fraud, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

He is accused of transferring money from the organization’s fundraising and scholarship accounts into its primary account before withdrawing the funds for personal use, WHIO reported.

According to the U.S. attorney’s office, he could face up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine.
