GoFundMe scam mastermind pleads guilty, gets 5 years in jail
NY Post ^ | 12/06/19 | Ben Feuerherd

The New Jersey man who masterminded a plot to scam GoFundMe donors with a hoax story about his ex-girlfriend helping a homeless man pleaded guilty Friday and must now serve five years behind bars.

Mark D’Amico pleaded guilty in Burlington County court to state charges of misapplication of entrusted property.

As part of his plea deal, D’Amico agreed to a five-year jail sentence. His ultimate sentence could be higher; he is still facing additional, yet-resolved federal charges for the 2017 scam.

His accomplices - ex-girlfriend Katelyn McClure and homeless vet Johnny Bobbitt - have each pleaded guilty to state and federal charges for their roles in the scam. Bobbit was ordered to enter a drug rehab program, and McClure agreed to serve four years in prison as part of her plea deal.

...that’s because Hillary is a famous Democrat with still so many bodies buried where she knows the locations of...

Hence my concern for the Senate trial and the machinations of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. If he said it were a week day and sunny, I’d check 4 or 5 calendars and step outside to view the weather myself.

Time to jail every person begging who uses the money for drugs and alcohol instead of the food or housing they claim it is for.

Same with the gas can scammers who need $5 for a gallon of gas yet are there every day.

Yeah but she only scammed people out of $5.4 billion while this guy only scammed $400K and in the world of demented democrap/RINO justice, making $5.4 billion completely disappear is perfectly OK.
