Malachi Love-Robinson has been released from prison after serving 20 months of a 3.5 years sentence he received for impersonating a doctor and stealing money from an elderly woman.

Authorities in South Florida told The Sun Sentinel he was released early because he got credit for time already served before his sentence officially started.

While Love-Robinson's actions were heavily ridiculed and turned into a meme by the internet, the crimes he committed were extremely serious. 

A West Palm Beach police report stated he snuck into a woman's gynecological exam at St. Mary’s Medical Center and stole nearly $40,000 from Anita Morrison, an 86-year-old woman who was extremely ill.

Love-Robinson started the ruse when he was 17, donning a fake lab coat and a stethoscope while sneaking into hospitals and clinics. He was first caught in January 2015 after sneaking in a gynecological exam. He later denied the allegations.

That same year, he was somehow able to open his own clinic and hire his own employees in Boynton Beach. The Florida Department of Health sent him a cease-and-desist order demanding him to close the facility for operating without a medical license. 

Love-Robinson met with investigators from the Florida Department of Health and lied to them about his degree, showing them a fake diploma from Arizona State University. He later admitted to investigators that it was fake.

In their report, investigators flat out said Love-Robinson was trying to lead the public into believing he was a doctor.

Love-Robinson later proved to be extremely wily for a teenager, finding a way to work at another clinic in West Palm Beach, despite being caught by state investigators multiple times. He worked at a clinic named The New Birth New Life Medical Center with a team of employees.

By January 2016, police were on his trail again and arrested him after he gave a medical exam to a female police officer. It was only after his final arrest they realized how he was funding all of this.

Morrison, who was having severe intestinal pain and googled natural therapy doctors, found Love-Robinson's information. She invited him to her home multiple times until one day she became sick. He immediately called an ambulance to the home for her.

Morrison gave Love-Robinson her keys and told him to lock her home. He instead cleared out her bank account and signed a number of fake checks in her name. He used the $34,504 to pay off his car loans and credit card bills.

After posting bond in 2016 in Palm Beach County, he went to Virginia where he tried to buy a $35,000 Jaguar by fraudulently using his 73-year-old godmother’s personal information.

At that point, Love-Robinson had no choice but to plead guilty to one count of filing false statements to obtain credit.

He served one year in prison in Virginia before returning to Florida to face his other charges.

He was facing up to 90 years in prison for his actions in Florida but took a plea deal with prosecutors, agreeing to spend 3.5 years in prison and repay his victims $80,000.
