This is Todd Heldt, a librarian at Harold Washington College in Chicago. He best known for when he stole from a 12-year-old girl’s GoFundMe medical fund.
Todd is trying to take this website down with ridiculous DMCA requests. In order to make our intent clear, we have created a transformative use of previous work by putting a clown nose on Todd for his absurd attempts to weasel out of taking responsibility for his fraud.
He stole this money through his romantic relationship with the girl’s mother, Bethany Fine. He carried on this relationship despite the fact that he is married. He claimed that his wife was cool with this polyamorous arrangement but he never told her that he stole from this young woman’s medical fund.
Todd took the money from Ms Fine via Zelle on 09-12-24, 09-27-24, 10-28-24, and 11-04-24. He knew the money was for her daughter’s medical care but demanded she share it with him to ease his own financial troubles.
In an attempt to whitewash his name, Todd has put up a competing website. We will link to it here. We invite him to link to us.
