Homeless man who gave stranded motorists money denied access to GoFundMe cash by couple he helped

This was a pretty big story when it happened. Homeless man gives his last $20 to help out a stranded couple. Big money was raised on GoFundMe for him.

Now this...

"Giving him all that money, it's never going to happen. I'll burn it in front of him,"

In an interview with the Inquirer last week, D'Amico said he controls the money and will start dispensing it when Bobbitt gets a job and stops using drugs.

"Giving him all that money, it's never going to happen. I'll burn it in front of him," he said, adding that giving an "addict" the money would be like "giving him a loaded gun."

Bobbitt questions the couple's motives and fears they may have squandered the money.

"I think it might have been good intentions in the beginning, but with that amount of money, I think it became greed." Bobbitt said.

GoFundMe is investigating whether the money was mismanaged, and said it will work to ensure Bobbitt "receives the help he deserves and that the donors' intentions are honored."
