Michael Bradway, Accused of Faking Son’s Illness, Now Faces New Charges
“Mr. Bradway/We know your son is okay/Oh Mr. Bradway/Did you steal from the gays?“
With all apologies to Ozzy Osbourne for that butchering…
It seems that the greedy the rapacious Michael Bradway wasn’t content with convincing everybody that his son had cystic fibrosis in order to profit off of the sympathy. Now Bradway, of Cornwall, Connecticut, has been fired by gay rights nonprofit Love Makes a Family, on charges of accounting regularities. The group has reportedly found that records maintained by Bradway had been altered, and that at least one donation had been mishandled. (I’ll assume that we’re not taking about a mere five bucks in the tip jar here.) And that, it appears, isn’t even Bradway’s first foray into fraud. (Well, ignoring the whole “my son is dying” scam, of course.) In 1994, the faking father was sentenced to a year in jail for embezzling $167,000 from various people in a brokerage scam.
Anne Stanback, the nonprofit group’s director, is obviously upset about this development. But, she says, “it pales in comparison to the allegations about his son.” Actually, Anne, I think it makes it a little better. It would be one thing if Bradway were stealing only from his son. But now, it appears that he’s stealing from everybody! He doesn’t harbor any particularly animosity against his son - he’s just a bastard! Frankly, I think this ought to make it easier for the boy to cope knowing that his dad didn’t single him out.
Yeah. I’m not buying it either. I’m trying to work with what I have, people, and it ain’t much…
