SCAMS, everywhere | “GoFundMe Campaign for Homeless Veteran Exposed as Scam” – “The entire thing was a lie.” That’s how a New Jersey prosecutor described the viral crowdfunding scheme after it unraveled this week. Last year, the story of Kate McClure and Mark D’Amico raising $400,000 for a homeless veteran who helped McClure when she was stranded garnered national attention. But now authorities say the recipient, Johnny Bobbitt Jr., actually helped fabricate the story — and the scam might have worked if a dispute over the cash hadn’t spilled into court. All three have been charged with theft and conspiracy.” – OZY
