Lieutenant Dan Is Now Being Exposed As A Fraud Who Uses Four Different Names And Has Conned People Out Of Their Money With A Sneaky GoFundMe
Joseph Malinowski, A.K.A. Lieutenant Dan, has quickly become an internet sensation, having refused to leave the spot where his sailboat was docked with Hurricane Milton approaching.
Lt. Dan braved the vicious conditions in his boat on Wednesday night and lived to tell the story. But he has also been accused of chasing internet clout, with X User Mena Ganey making a short clip in which she claims the disabled Tampa resident has used multiple names and raised over $20,000 off his antics.
The video below shows Ganey discussing Malinowski’s GoFundMe account, which has raised the aforementioned account, noting he spent a year in prison for beating an EMT.
She also shows a screenshot of a Facebook profile supposedly belonging to Malinowski, which lists him as a “Digital Creator,” stating that he purposely docked his boat in the most dangerous area in Tampa, although there were safer spots nearby and did accept the Mayor’s offer to relocate.
