Fidget Spinner

I wrote last autumn about a young couple who befriended a homeless former Marine. Mark D'Amico and Katelyn McClure set up a GoFundMe account for Johnny Bobbitt which gathered $400,000 in donations in a matter of months. Nice story, right? The difference between a happy tale and a tragedy is where you stop telling it. The couple and the homeless fellow have had a falling out. Now everyone is pointing fingers. They say he quickly spent much of the money to buy drugs, to pay off old legal expenses, and to send funds home to family. He says he never saw a quarter of the cash, and everyone has hired lawyers. Last week police with a warrant took several items from the couple’s home, including a new BMW. I don’t know exactly where this story is headed next, but I’m afraid no one is going to live happily ever after.
