2020s the big live returns now with Matt Gutman in these cynical times when heroes are scarce Navy SEALs may be the one thing Americans can't still believe in capable of almost superhuman feats of combat skill and endurance they are the real deal famed for taking out those enemy number one Osama bin Laden Hollywood has turned the seals real-life exploits in the big-budget movies like the just-released flick lone survivor so if you happen to meet a seal you might react the way Carol Roberts did when she met AJ dickin what was your first impression of him he's a big guy he commands are thorny by his size it was 2011 in Carson City Nevada Carroll herself a Navy vet was a student at Dickens military-style self-defense school that's thicket running and gunning in videos he made to promote his business it looked like a lot of fun learning from a Navy SEAL was part of the fun but Dickon wasn't just any old seal he clammed tours of duty in Vietnam Naida Desert Storm you name it he's been there earning him the status as the most decorated Navy SEAL in history if anyone asks for proof he had his discharge papers at the ready even emails from Colonel Oliver North [Music] stop the truck picking self-defense school was a success but he dreamed way bigger he wanted to set up his own lucrative overseas security business to bankroll his new venture to concern to a pair of local doctors enrolled in his self-defense classes the shabby seal talked him into investing upwards of eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars he said mom ex-navy seal then I went into the CIA he can be very charming very engaging he presents a face that kind of draws you in Dickens mystique and the allure of a big payout led Carol Roberts to sign on as the marketing director of the new firm they needed somebody to do their marketing and so I said I'll do it so you actually quit a good job in order to work with Dickon yeah because you thought the money was coming in yeah I had seen the contracts that were for hundreds of millions of dollars yeah yep dicken that smooth-talking seal had landed a security contract with the United Nations affiliated organization allegedly working about a half a billion dollars it's all coming together AJ Dickens excellent adventure is getting off the ground all of this I think it was like we're leaving for Burundi in a week no this isn't the script for an action flick but the first bit of business for Dickens new venture deep in the African nation of Burundi there's a construction project looking to hire a security firm Dickon leads an expedition there to seal the deal Carol Roberts is part of that team as is chief pilot Mike Reynolds but shortly after they land wheels start falling off by the second day we realized that people didn't know who we were what we were doing there his house of cards started to crumble the business trip to Burundi has turned into a bungle in the jungle and when the going gets tough the tough get drunk he'd fill up a glass of vodka and have that down for breakfast it was insane the whole situation there was just dangerous Carol suspicion grows when the power goes out in the hotel and the supposedly steely nerves seal near wets his fatigues he freaked out picked up his phone runs into the other room talking to the CIA to have them reposition the satellite so he can make sure that the rebels aren't coming to get it no yes just then a friend back in the States keeps Carol on the team off to a strange video just posted on YouTube if I get the guy in the video isn't some lunatic he's actually a real former Navy SEAL one senior chief Don Shipley I knew right away you weren't a fake I all I got to do is check your name I'll check your name just like that a couple of keystrokes I say if that guy was ever ceiling simply has made it his personal mission to ferret out the fakes every single day using a special database only real seals can access how many guys have you exposed houses thousands oh yeah I verify on average at least 20 fraudulent seal claims every day but Shipley says AJ Dickon was no ordinary seal faker for one thing his claims were so over-the-top remember those discharge papers the awards and hero outrageous why they outrageous all he says he's got two medals of Honor that hasn't happened since World War one in fact they can never serve the day in the military and his phony resume was missing a few details like the burglary conviction that landed him in a California prison for the team back in Burundi that last bit of Dickens cover is blown to bits but knowing he's a fraud is cold comfort you're sitting in the middle of Africa with somebody that you're pretty convinced at this point is a sociopath the best a psychopath at worst the team hightails it back to Nevada and Carol Roberts wastes no time blowing the whistle about the real AJ dicking I went to one of the doctors with all of the evidence I had and said you have a problem it was all a great big fraud Dickon was fired and skips town leaving only burned bridges and emptied wallets months later dick and is back on the radar when ABC station kgo picks up his trail leading to his parents house outside Los Angeles I'm going to talk to you about your but your Navy SEAL background I don't have a Navy SEAL backgrounds so a lot of people that didn't you know I did not now true to form dick and heads for the hills again but nobody is sure wedge hills until a few months ago so we've try to track down dicking for weeks now finally we know where he is where he's gonna be 2020 track dicking to a secluded property in rural Arkansas where the road ends the man doesn't get out much anymore but finally we spotted him how you doing mr. Dickie I'm not coming from ABC these appear to be your discharge papers and folks in the Navy SEAL community say that you're not a commando you're a con artist well if you actually talk to me I'd like to hear your side of the story sir but dickin can't drive away so easily we saw a shady past here we go he's an ex-con still banned from handling weapons in this Rambo routine is illegal and now he's facing felony firearms charges in Nevada but as of today AJ Dickens still walks the earth maybe not as a seal that as a free man the people who say he's condemned are hoping to see him soon wearing a different kind of uniform you'll never get paid back for what you lost but can he ever get pay back to be able to bring this to light and not just sweep it under the rug is what my paybacks gonna be he's a coward and a liar and that's all he has been and that's all he ever will be
