Police raid home of couple who raised $400K for homeless man

Quote
Police raided the home Thursday of a couple who raised $400,000 online for a homeless good Samaritan who has alleged they treated the money like a "personal piggy bank" — hauling away a new BMW on a flatbed truck.

Citing "enormous public interest" in the case, county prosecutor Scott Coffina confirmed in a Facebook post that Mark D'Amico and Katelyn McClure are under investigation, though no charges have been filed.

It was the latest twist in at onetime feel-good story about Johnny Bobbitt, who spent his last $20 to buy gas for McClure when she became stranded on a highway in Philadelphia last year, and the couple who found 14,000 people online who were so touched by his kindness that they donated to a fund to help him start a new life.

Well, in this case, this action might be proper.  There is strong suspicion that the couple may have spent the money on themselves.  They haven't exactly been forthcoming about where the money has gone.  Confiscating the BMW and whatever else was seized may finally get their attention.  I understand the judge has ordered them to appear at court on September 10.  This action may ensure they appear.

No charges are filed but everything is confiscated.

I hope you never get to be on the receiving end of such 'confiscations'.
