Malachi Love-Robinson, the 25-year-old who impersonated a doctor, is headed back to prison after he pleaded guilty to stealing more than $10,000 from his employer while working as a salesperson for a company that connects shippers with trucking companies.
Last week, love-Robinson appeared in court in Palm Beach County, Florida, and pleaded guilty to grand theft and organized scheme to defraud, WITN reports.
While working for the company, Love-Robinson would have customers send payments to accounts he controlled instead of having them sent to his employer, court documents show.
The 25-year-old, often used as an internet meme when people discuss fraud, gained national infamy in 2016 when he identified himself as “Dr. Love” and opened The New Birth New Life Medical Center. Love-Robinson was arrested after investigators determined he stole $30,000 from an older patient during house calls. He also stole an additional $20,000 from a doctor, officials said.
Police caught Love-Robinson when an undercover officer posed as a patient and received prescribed treatment from him.
Love-Robinson was out on bail until he was arrested again in Virginia after he tried to buy a car with a stolen credit card. The notorious scammer was released from prison in 2019 after he pleaded guilty in both cases.
