The $400,000 raised through a GoFundMe account to support a homeless veteran in Philadelphia after he gave his last bit of money to help a stranded motorist is reportedly drained.<\/p>\n

A lawyer representing Johnny Bobbitt, whose story garnered national attention last year after he gave Kate McClure his last $20 to fill up her gas tank, told the\u00a0Philadelphia Inquirer<\/a>\u00a0on Tuesday that news of the depleted account \u201ccame as a complete surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Is anyone at TAH completely surprised?<\/p>\n

Chris Fallon, the lawyer, said he became aware of the financial standing of his client\u2019s account after a conference call with attorneys for McClure and her boyfriend Mark D\u2019Amico \u2013 the couple who started the GoFundMe account for Bobbitt after his kind gesture, promising him a home.<\/p>\n

\n
“It completely shocked me when I heard,” Fallon told the paper.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Bobbitt\u2019s attorneys requested that the couple remain in New Jersey, surrender their passports, post a bond and restrict access to their bank accounts after they failed to meet a court-ordered deadline to deliver any remaining money from the GoFundMe account, according to the paper.<\/p>\n

Last week, Superior Court Judge Paula T. Dow\u00a0ordered the couple to wire the remaining funds to a trust for Bobbitt, and submit an accounting report of the donated money within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Bobbitt has received roughly $75,000 dollars of the funds, which he used to purchase a camper and SUV \u2013 both of which he no longer has, the paper reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A so called\u00a0homeless veteran does not need $400,000.\u00a0 \u00a0He needs to walk his ass into the local VA office, unless he has a Dishonorable Discharge in which case he should stop calling himself a veteran.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
