A New York Post report details a scheme where a man named Lutg recruited German soldiers into the Second Cavalry, promising $30,000 from the State and $2,500 from the federal government.

The piece notes similar abuses across states, warning bounty systems tempt irrational enlistments and destructive consequences for the army.
