Feds catch up to man who attempted several LGBT charity scams!

A Central Florida man who pledged hundreds of thousands of dollars to gay charities but never followed through is now facing federal charges in an alleged housing scam, reports Watermark Online.

Curtis Sutton, also known as Curtis Kilgallen, has been indicted on federal charges of misrepresenting Social Security information. According to Orlando Sentinel, the 23-year old raised some red flags with his elaborate back story involving the Etch-A-Sketch fortune and a recently deceased US Senator father when he was trying to purchase a 3 million dollar home in Altamonte Springs. The information provided to the real-estate broker allegedly included a false Social Security number, a Georgia driver’s license, and a fake statement of assets and liabilities giving Sutton a net worth of more than $160 million, the Sentinel reported. Sutton also allegedly tried to buy a home in early January by telling the previous owner that he made more than $7,000 dollars a week running his own company. He was allowed to live in the home until the real-estate agent discovered the ruse and threatened to call the police unless he left the home immediately.

On March 9, a grand jury indicted Sutton on two counts.
