Looking at the original article, it looks like he continued associating with skinhead groups in his time in the military[0], and that the reason it didn't come up in background searches is because his name was misspelled. Yes, I absolutely expect someone entrusted with enormous responsibility in the criminal justice realm to be upfront and open about their past and be held to a far higher, far more stringent standard. And it doesn't help that his company hasn't been the most morally upright company in recent times either[1].

> Looking at the original article, it looks like he continued associating with skinhead groups in his time in the military He refers to associating with these groups in the past tense, in his 1992 testimony (at which time he was 19).

Also, he did state that he had been involved in gangs, as per your own source: > “We all have a personal story,” Patton told an audience at the Domopalooza tech conference in Salt Lake City in March 2019. “It’s probably what drives you every day to do what you do. Drives your family life, your work life. It’s no different from me.” > “I came out of an abusive household,” he told the crowd. “When I was a young kid. And I left. And I was a homeless kid living on the streets, under the underpass of the freeway in Los Angeles, eating out of the dumpster. Never finished high school, belonged to street gangs,” he said. “Was up to no good.”
