I saw it on the news. Didn’t he sue the couple for the money?

Me & a few others here knew it was a hoax from day one.

The woman's story did not make sense.

Why it took authoritites so long to figure it out is beyond me.

Maybe he decided to pull his own scam on the couple???

It doesn't surprise me at all, it saddens me but I think the vast majority of that begging on Gofundme is a scam, how could it be anything else?  So, that couple were actually thieves X2; then stole from the donors and then turned around and stole from their collaborator.  Which shouldn't have surprised him.  I do think if he really was homeless, they targeted him and roped him into the scheme.

Yes.

I knew the couple took all the money ,or so it was said, are you saying the three of them were in the scam,what happened to the money?

GoFundMe keeps 5 percent service fee.   This account should be given to aid those in CA if the money is recouped.
