All three of them got revealed as scammers.
As of January 8, 2020, a federal grand jury has indicted Mark D’Amico on charges of wire fraud and money laundering in connection with a now infamous GoFundMe scam. The tale went viral and the campaign ended up raising $402,766 from more than 14,000 online donors, most of which was spent by D’Amico and McClure on gambling, vacation, a BMW, clothing, handbags and other personal items and expenses.
The indictment charged D’Amico, 40, with more than a dozen counts of conspiracy, wire fraud and money laundering.
Bobbitt has been sentenced in state court to five years of probation conditional on him successfully completing the county’s drug court program. McClure pleaded guilty in April to theft by deception and is expected to be sentenced to a four-year prison term as part of a plea agreement with prosecutors.
Sentencing for Bobbitt and McClure’s federal crimes has been postponed until after the federal case against D’Amico is completed.
If found guilty, D’Amico faces a potential sentence of 20 years in prison and $250,000 fines for the wire fraud and another 10 years and a $250,000 fine for the money laundering.
