ONTARIO COUNTY, N.Y. — The Ontario County District Attorney’s Office held a press conference Tuesday announcing the indictment of a former commander accused of stealing funds from the Geneva American Legion.

Back in April of 2024, 63-year-old Dan Mosher was charged with grand larceny after being accused of stealing nearly $93,000 from the Winnek Post in Geneva. Mosher served on and off as commander of the post for 20 years.

Investigators said starting in December of 2015, Mosher stole funds from the post.

Members of the legion said this theft came as a shock to them.

“Nobody wants to believe their commander or their leader is gonna steal from them. Why would they?” said current legion commander AJ Fratto. “You don’t want to second guess the person that you’re trusting with everything.”

The legion says they hope for restitution if Mosher is convicted, but have to absorb this loss for now.
