People questioned his credentials and the media began to dig deep into his background. In a recent Time Magazine article, here were some of the details that investigative journalists uncovered:

- He claimed to have been an Assistant City Manager of Edmond, Oklahoma. Brown never held this position. He did do an internship while attending college for this town.
- He stated that he had received an "Outstanding Professor" award from a college where he never taught. He was an adjunct professor for a college, but the college never had such an award and he certainly did not receive one.
