9/11 SCAMMER GETS 2 YEARS

A 9/11 scammer who snookered charities out of $80,000 was tossed in the slammer for at least two years yesterday.

Evelyn Wellens, 42, of Edgewater, N.J., has been in jail since November, when - hours before her conviction - a juror found a note in a Manhattan Supreme Court bathroom reading "Evelyn Wellens is innocent." Court personnel found seven similar notes, leading Justice John Bradley to blame Wellens, excoriating her conduct as "unprecedented in my lengthy experience."

Wellens was convicted with co-defendant and ex-boyfriend Matthew Weissman, 47, a lawyer.

Prosecutors said Weissman pretended he had to close his downtown office after the tragedy - a bogus sob story he used to wring $8,000 from the Red Cross and Safe Horizon.

He then gave Wellens, his employee, bogus documents she used to claim she too was out of work, bilking charities for $80,000.



Remember,,next time you are in court,,,drop some papers around stating that you are innocent:Graucho

Stupid fucker.

Reminds me of something someone done In England. They called all the Newspapers saying their kid had cancer or Leukemia and asked for donations to take her to US for treatment. They eventually got around £25,000 (maybe more) and the parents spent it on lots of shit for themselves. Turned out the kid didn't have cancer or Leukemia at all.......

Sad how far some people would go to make some cash!

Yes, that was fucking dumb!
