Johnny Bobbitt, famously rescued from the streets of Philadelphia last October after word of his kindness to a stranger went viral and led to a $400,000 GoFundMe campaign, is once again homeless, drug-addicted — and panhandling for money.

The couple who started the fund-raiser say that in helping Bobbitt, they've spent or given him more than half of the money donated by thousands of people around the world and they are withholding the roughly $200,000 balance. Bobbitt says he fears that the couple, Kate McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, squandered much of the money. He worries there may be little, or nothing, left.

Through it all, Bobbitt admits, the pull of drugs was strong, dooming two stints in rehab and sending him back to the streets, where he now spends his days scrambling for money and drugs

With no formal accounting of the money and no financial statements, it is unclear how much is left. What is clear is that Bobbitt has little to show for it.
Homeless again, Johnny Bobbitt can?t get his GoFundMe money

Well this has gone about as well as expected. When will people ever wise up I wonder.

By what right are the couple withholding Bobbitt’s funds?
 
One thing that pops to me is that I am 100% sure that I saw articles with pics with him in an apartment and with a truck, now we get told that he was living in a camper in their driveway. There has for sure been a lot of lying going on, it is really hard to trust anything that gets said here.

EDIT: THis is not that but:

The homeless man whose story went viral last month will soon have a permanent roof over his head.

Johnny Bobbitt Jr. has purchased a home, he wrote on the GoFundMe that garnered nearly $400,000 to get him off the streets.

"The feeling is indescribable and it all thanks to the support and generosity that each and every one of you has shown," he wrote. "I'll continue to thank you every single day for the rest of my life."

Some might recall that my theory was that the three of them cooked up a con and agreed to split the money. Maybe Johnny ran through his and now wants theirs.

They raised the money and apparently have control of the account. It seems they see no point in pounding more sand down that particular rat hole.
 
Is this the same John Bobbit who has involved with a woman named Lorena? If so, that guy has a record of losing things no man should.

No, the homeless man John Bobbitt is age 35. The Lorena Bobbitt episode happened 25 years ago. That could only be the case if Lorena castrated a 10 year old.

That was "John Wayne Bobbitt" and yes, Lorena "bobbed it".
 
i saw this thread and was like "wait, the cut off dick guy?"
 
People who have never worked with the homeless don't realize how difficult it can be to help them.

People tend to be chumps now too....cant smell a con to save their lives.
 
Wow, ya think?

They say they gave Johnny half the money, dont want to give him anymore, ya at this point somebody needs to see the money before I believe that there is more money. I sure hope the authorities are looking into this. GOFUNDME says that they want to know the truth, folks using them to collect con money is not good for business (they take a hefty cut for doing almost nothing), they need to discourage the practice. I figure GOFUNDME is paying a Private Dick to see if they can find out anything.

ty...
 
This story has gone viral with the so-called journalists, plus as I said I think GOFUNDME at the very least has decided that finally the truth must be found and told...maybe others too....

We are going to get some education, I am quite sure of it.
 
Are there many people these days watching the news and thinking "Damn, this might screw up all of my plans for this Holiday season scamming"?
 

During the discussion of Reagan's Star Wars SDI program, one AF general described the system's lasers as 'bobbitizing' the warheads of incoming Soviet/Russian missiles. Lovely word, very expressive.
