It’s no “Max Power,” but it’s still a pretty good name

A New York man, who used to be a social worker for the city, was busted sometime back for accessing a government bank account and draining it of about $3.6 million dollars, which he used to buy jewelry, fancy personal items, etc. Recently, investigators were reviewing statements for that bank account, trying to figure out how, exactly, the guy stole that money. During their investigation, they uncovered a second scam.

A scam which was, literally, awesome.

Over the last three-and-a-half years, there were repeated electronic payments from the account to a “John Awesome.” Turns out Johnny Awesome is actually Duwinn McClelland, a former maintenance worker for the city, and the $49.95 payments were to cover the fees for two internet porn sites Johnny Awesome was apparently a fan of. Seems that Awesome somehow got access to the account after getting the account number off of one of his workers’ comp checks and over the last 3 1/2 years, he managed to steal about four grand, most of which went to his online porn needs.

Awesome McClelland was arraigned last Saturday for larceny and fraud charges, where he was represented by Robert Bodacious, Esq., a partner with the law firm of Tubular, Wicked-Cool, Bitchin’ & Gnarly LLP.
