Everyone who gave to this gofundme should get their money back.
Horrible people in this country.
Every penny of the $400,000 raised by strangers to give a kind homeless veteran a new start after he spent his final $20 to buy a stranded woman gas has been spent by her and her boyfriend, according to the man’s lawyer.
In a devastating outcome for Johnny Bobbitt after what seemed like an end to his strife with the couple, he and his lawyer discovered the fund was depleted on Tuesday after finally winning control of it nine months after it was set up to help him.
‘There is no money left. Where the money went, I have no idea,’ Bobbitt’s lawyer Christopher C. Fallon Jr. told nj.com on Tuesday, adding Bobbitt was ‘completely devastated’ by the discovery.
They met in November last year when McClure, a receptionist for the state department of transportation, ran out of gas in Philadelphia on her way home.
Bobbitt was sleeping in the street and he used his last $20 to buy her gas and get home safely.
She shared his good deed on social media and launched a GoFundMe page in the hope that strangers would return his kindness.
Within a month they had raised $400,000 for him and he was excitedly planning a new life. There were promises of trusts and retirement accounts, financial adviser and lawyers but Bobbitt now says none of what the pair told him he would receive panned out as planned.
The couple spent the money on new cars, trips all over the country and splurging on high-end items like Louis Vuitton bags and Gucci which they showed off on IG.
