Go Fund Me Scam beneficiary may have been mastermind of plot

5. It's just suspicious to me that the story they used was pretty much

exactly the story Bobbitt posted back in 2012. As I understand it, the young couple somehow met Bobbitt, liked him, and wanted to help him. The story was concocted--and there's no question the story was his creation--and then it all went to hell. The woman's friends asked her why she didn't call them when she found herself stranded, and she essentially gave them the truth--how they kept quiet all this time is a testimony to their friendship. The GoFundMe took off, and misbehavior ensued. But it was all a scam from the get-go, and the homeless guy was in on it--at the very least--from the beginning.

I am assuming the 2012 story was fiction as well, but maybe it really happened.
