West Coast Beach, Fla. –
A serial killer who became nationally known as a teenager when he impersonated a doctor to defraud a patient is returning to prison after pleading guilty to stealing more than $10,000 from his employer. .
Malachi Love-Robinson, 25, received a sentence of more than two years and four months last week after pleading guilty in Palm Beach County, Florida, to grand theft and organized fraud conspiracy.
Court documents show that in 2020, Robinson was working as a salesman for a company that connects shippers with trucking companies. Instead of asking customers to pay the company, Love-Robinson would ask them to deposit money into accounts he controls.
Love-Robinson first came to national attention in 2016 at the age of 18 when he was arrested after opening The New Birth New Life Medical Center, identifying himself as “Dr. Love”.
He stole US$30,000 from a patient in his 80s during house calls and another $20,000 from a doctor. He was arrested after examining and prescribing treatment for an undercover police officer posing as a patient.
Later that year while on bail, Love-Robinson was arrested in Virginia after he tried to buy a Jaguar car with a stolen credit card.
He pleaded guilty in both cases and was released from prison in 2019.
