Now I'm wondering about the romance writer Susan Meachen who faked her death on social media and had people donate to her gofundme for funeral expenses and her family. That's pretty egregious and while I doubt anyone would get any money back I wonder if there are grounds to sue for fraud.

Based on this, absolutely she should be in prison.

This story made me think of her, too. It might take a long time but I am keeping my eye on her story to find out if she gets hit with legal consequences. It might all end up depending on how much money she earned from the fraud.
