Can't Wait For Karma To Even This One Out

You're gonna pay for those handouts, lady

Studies show that people love donating to causes they believe in. It makes them feel better about themselves. So imagine the good feeling you could get by chipping in to pay for the wedding of a woman with leukemia? And now imagine the opposite.

“I had to prepare for her to die,” Michael O’Connell said. Now O’Connell says his wife, Jessica Vega, had pretended — saying she had terminal leukemia in order to scam him, everyone they knew and a long list of strangers who heard her story and wanted to help. O’Connell and Vega were featured April 26 in a Times Herald-Record story about the many people who had come together to organize a dream wedding while the bride was still strong enough to walk down the aisle.

Ok, ok maybe it wasn’t terminal, but surely she was sick, right?

The husband called Costin’s Westchester office and asked about Vega’s medical records: “Never a patient here” was the response.

And this is wher the story gets weird.
