Man now facing federal charges in homeless GoFundMe scheme

TRENTON, N.J. - A Burlington County man accused of scamming donors out of more than $400,000 in a GoFundMe scheme is now facing federal charges.

Prosecutors say Mark D’Amico and his then-girlfriend Kate McClure made up a feel-good story about a homeless veteran spending his last 20 dollars to fill up McClure’s gas tank.

Both McClure and that homeless man, Johnny Bobbit, pleaded guilty to their roles in the scheme.
