how frequently does the letter "s" appear in:
philadelphia, pa. – it was one of the ‘feel good’ stories of the year, but now prosecutors say it was all a lie.
the story went viral after kate mcclure and mark d’amico started the gofundme campaign for johnny bobbitt, jr. mcclure claimed she ran out of gas and became stranded last october – and bobbitt helped her out with his last $20.
the page was titled ‘paying it forward,’ and the response was incredible: 14,347 people donated $402,706 over the course of 10 months.
however, the story took a turn when a fight started over the money. bobbitt sued the couple for fraud, saying he had only seen about $75,000 of the money and should have gotten about $300,000 more after gofundme’s fees.
bobbitt believed the couple was using the money for themselves, spending it on a bmw and luxury vacations. the couple claimed they withheld the money because they were worried bobbitt would spend it on drugs.
police executed a search warrant of their home in september, but the couple was not charged with anything at the time.
now, it seems like the story has taken another turn.
a complaint obtained by nbc philadelphia alleges that the couple teamed up with bobbitt to concoct a “fictitious story” so they could raise money by deceiving generous donors.
now, officials say they may all face conspiracy and theft charges.
