The $400,000 raised for a homeless veteran by a New Jersey couple through a highly-publicized GoFundMe campaign last year is gone, the man's attorney said Tuesday.

Johnny Bobbitt filed suit against the couple alleging they were withholding the money raised to get him back on his feet. The revelation that no money was left came during a conference call between attorneys in the case Tuesday morning, Bobbitt's attorney Christopher C. Fallon, Jr. said.

"There is no money left," Fallon said, adding that Bobbitt was "completely devastated" by the news. "Where the money went, I have no idea."

Kate McClure and her boyfriend, Mark D'Amico, started the GoFundMe for Bobbitt in November 2017 after McClure ran out of gas on I-95 in Philadelphia. Bobbitt, who was homeless, gave her gas money and the couple later returned to find a way to help him.

Since then, the Burlington County couple has come under fire when Bobbitt claimed he had not received most of the money. He said he was forced to file a lawsuit to get access the remaining funds.

Ernest E. Badway, the attorney for McClure and D'Amico, did not immediately respond for comment on Tuesday afternoon.

Fallon said his client believed there was at least $150,000 left. That money was supposed to be frozen and transferred into a trust until the legal dispute was resolved

Fallon said he'd only heard the $150,000 amount when the couple appeared on Megyn Kelly Today show last week.

Before that, Fallon claimed the couple told the Philadelphia Inquirer that there was $200,000 left.

Today he learned that number is zero.

"That's a lot of money to go through to in just a short period of time," Fallon said.

The couple claimed they did not give the full amount to Bobbitt right away because he struggled with drug addiction and they feared he would blow it all irresponsibly.

Bobbitt told 6abc he had to ask McClure and D'Amico for access to every penny he needed, and the three would joke that the couple were like his parents.

"But the joke stops being funny after awhile," he said.

Badway, the couple's attorney, said they spent around $200,000 of the money on Bobbitt, including a $25,000 deposit for a bank account they helped him open. The couple said Bobbitt blew through that money in just 13 days.

Last week, Burlington County Superior Court Judge Paula Dow ruled in favor of a temporary restraining order on the funds, meaning McClure and D'Amico were to turn over the remaining cash to Bobbitt's attorneys to be placed in an escrow account.

Now after learning there is no money left to turn over, Fallon said they are making requests to review the couple's financial records. Fallon said he is unsure when the next court date will be after hearing this new development.

"We really have to take this one step at a time. We are going to follow up as best we can to follow where the money went," he said.

In the meantime, Fallon and his team are working to help Bobbitt get submitted into a drug recovery program to receive 28 days of therapy to tackle his problem with drug addiction, Fallon said.

In a statement Tuesday night, GoFundMe said the company deposited $20,000 "to a bank account created by Johnny's legal team to provide assistance during the investigation."

"We are working with law enforcement officials to ensure Johnny receives all of the funds raised on his behalf," the company said. "While we assist law enforcement with their ongoing investigation, GoFundMe is also working with Johnny's legal team to ensure he's receiving support while the remaining funds are being recovered."

Donors could receive a refund for donations if the company finds something improper, according to the statement, which pointed to GoFundMe's refund policy website.
