Rick Stone who once worked for JPAC said the agency has always known of their deceit.

‘It‘s an open fraud inside JPAC,’ he said of the bogged down agency. ‘But it‘s more than just the arrival ceremony. The fraud is really their inability to bring closure to more families. Our noble mission is to go find some of these kids, and this thing is so fouled up we don‘t even recognize the mission.’

The military stands by the spirit of the ceremonies, however.
