Katelyn McClure and Mark D’Amico were taken into custody surrendered to authorities on Wednesday and were released. Philadelphia Police said Thursday homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt was arrested in the city by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

GoFundMe says all donors will receive a full refund.

Bingo.

Kickstarter is awesome, since it's crowdfunded entrepeneurship.

But GoFundMe is just elaborate panhandling in 98% of cases.

So which one in those mug shots is the homeless guy? I can't tell.

And anyone who didn't know this was a scam from the get-go is simply naive.

He is, but something seems odd here. Just 14 months?

Military records obtained by ABC News show that Bobbit served in the Marines as an ammunition technician from December 2002 to February 2004 and was awarded a National Defense Service Medal.

Probably got booted for drugs and/or being cray cray (or medical). He never saw combat if all they mentioned is a national defense medal.

Which means he did less than dick in the military and the term Veteran, while technically correct, is not an accurate term for this guy.

I'm glad they got nailed, and that all donors get full refunds. At least they won't have to worry about where they'll live and how they'll eat for a good long time. I doubt the clothing will be as fashionable as they are used to though.

An interesting little read... I loved seeing their anxiety mount as the noose started tightening. I think it’s funny how the homeless guy (Bobbit) looks less like a homeless guy in the mug shot than D’Amico. I sincerely hope they enjoy jail.
