In the quiet town of Beaufort, South Carolina, a seemingly ordinary man named Bobby Scafuri orchestrated one of the most audacious scams in American history. "Run Bobby Run," a gripping new book, delves deep into the intricate web of lies, deceit, and betrayal that made this small-town scandal a national sensation.

The Mastermind

Bobby Scafuri was an unassuming figure, a local businessman with a charming smile and a reputation as a pillar of the community. However, beneath this facade lurked a cunning mind and an insatiable greed. Driven by a thirst for power and wealth, Scafuri embarked on a scheme that would forever alter his life and the lives of those around him.

The Scam

In 2000, Scafuri launched a non-profit organization, the Believe in Tomorrow Children's Foundation. Supposedly dedicated to helping disabled children, the foundation solicited donations from generous individuals and businesses alike. However, the majority of the funds went straight into Scafuri's pockets, funding his lavish lifestyle and paying off personal debts.

Unraveling the Truth

As the scam grew in size and scope, cracks began to appear. As victims realized that their donations were not being used for the intended purpose, they began to question Scafuri's motives. Local and state investigators soon uncovered a labyrinth of fraudulent activities, including forged documents, shell companies, and offshore accounts.

National Exposure

The Run Bobby Run scandal gained national attention in 2003, when a series of articles in the Charleston Post and Courier exposed Scafuri's brazen scheme. The media frenzy that ensued captured the imagination of the public, exposing the depths of his deceit and the devastating consequences of his actions.

The Trial and Aftermath

In 2004, Bobby Scafuri was convicted on multiple counts of fraud, money laundering, and racketeering. Sentenced to 20 years in prison, he became a symbol of the destructive power of unchecked greed. However, the true cost of the scam extended far beyond his sentence. Victims lost their hard-earned money, organizations lost their credibility, and the bonds of trust within the community were shattered.
