Homeless veteran will get all $400,000 owed to him
GoFundMe has promised homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt Jr. he will receive the rest of $400,000 in donations owed to him after the couple who raised the money allegedly spent the cash on luxury goods and holidays. Bobbitt became a nationwide story after he gave his last $20 to Katelyn McClure, a woman who had run out of gas on the freeway ramp outside Philadelphia.
To pay it forward, McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, started the online fundraiser for Bobbitt, drawing contributions from more than 14,000 people.
However, the feelgood tale later descended into an ugly legal battle.Bobbitt is suing the couple, alleging he's received only $75,000 of the total and claiming the couple spent the rest on items such a BMW and luxury getaways to California, Florida, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon.
The couple denies the allegation. They have been asked by a judge to appear next week and explain what happened to the money.On Thursday, GoFundMe said it would make sure Bobbitt received all of the money he was owed.
