Wayne Bowen stole his estranged twin brother's name, social security card and military discharge papers in 2014. The Florida Man used his new identity to steal almost $64,000 in government benefits including housing subsidies and VA services.

Bowen was sentenced to two years in Federal prison for aggravated identity theft and must repay $63,773 in restitution.
