NFT: The perfect 2018 ending to this story

DanMetroMan : 11/15/2018 7:42 am
The New Jersey couple who raised hundreds of thousands of dollars in a viral charity campaign for a homeless man were allegedly working with the vagrant as part of an elaborate ruse, according to a new report.

Prosecutors believe that Mark D’Amico and Kate McClure conspired with homeless man Johnny Bobbitt to create their get-rich-quick scheme in 2017, NBC’s Philadelphia affiliate reported Wednesday.

The couple turned themselves in to authorities on Wednesday, but Bobbitt was still at large, the news station said.

and at the time, I got a nice lecture about how cynical I am and that I need to trust people more. I told her my charitable donations go two ways - directly to people I know, or to highly rated Charity Navigator causes.

If she learns from her mistake, it'll be money well spent.
i can only wonder

about this from the beginning - not the beginning of the news story, but the beginning of the problems between the three of them and when it was reported the couple both had new BMW's or something like that. I suspected it would not end well for them.

Would have gotten away with it if they weren't so greedy

When committing a crime, either keep your partners happy, or kill them

my wife wanted to donate. I told her hell no, I don't believe any of this crap that we hear about. You are better off assuming that everything you read on the internet is BS. You'll be right way more than wrong.

about greedy people that really grinds my gears. There is so much white collar crime that goes unpunished. They deserve a trial and are innocent until proven guilty, but if found guilty I hope they throw the book at them.
Ha ha, sorry this is hilarious
