Down-on-his-luck veteran suing couple that raised $400,000 on his behalf
What started as a heartwarming tale has become a legal potboiler.
A homeless veteran handed over his last $20 on Thanksgiving to a young New Jersey couple that had run out of gas in Philadelphia. In a show of gratitude for Johnny Bobbitt, Kate McClure and Mark D’Amico set up a GoFundMe page that raised over $400,000 for the vet.
The ensuing chapters of this story have taken a more sinister tone. Bobbitt has filed a lawsuit, accusing the couple of fraud and conspiracy for cutting him off from his stash of cash while they spend it on luxury items, reported nj.com.
An injunction application has been administered to halt the pair from accessing funds raised on his behalf.
