The Academy of Dung Beetles' Award is being prepared for presentation to Vaughn Sherwood, 66, of Honolulu. The FBI is accusing him of scamming local and federal taxpayers during the past 14 years, taking numerous government benefits he was not entitled to receive. Sherwood, who had inherited $360,000 from his parents, owned a sailboat, a Yamaha Jetboat, and drove a Mercedes-Benz S420, allegedly defrauded several government programs under his own identity and stolen identities, according to an affidavit filed with the U.S. District Court by FBI Special Agent Tom Simon.
