New Jersey Man Charged In GoFundMe Scam Looking To Have Charges Dropped

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A New Jersey man charged with scamming GoFundMe donors out of more than $400,000 is attempting to have the charges against him dropped. Mark D'Amico appeared at a hearing Monday morning where his lawyer announced their intent to file a motion to dismiss the indictment.

In May, D'Amico pleaded not guilty to fraud and money laundering charges.

Prosecutors say D'Amico, his then-girlfriend Katelyn McClure, and homeless veteran Johnny Bobbitt made up a feel good story in 2017 to scam GoFundMe donors.
