«Breaking News» Fraudsters steal credit card of Joe Biden's granddaughter, three months after his niece dodged jail

Joe Biden's granddaughter was the victim of credit card fraud October 25, with two men using it to go on a shopping spree after stealing the item from her wallet, a court heard Friday.

Naomi Biden, 25 - daughter of Biden's son Hunter - lost her wallet near New York's Columbia University campus and noticed the unusual activity on her bank statement. It came just three months after Joe's niece Caroline Biden avoided jail time for stealing credit card funds.

Stephen Flanagan, 28, admitted using it as he appeared in court Friday.

Flanagan and Michael Echavarria, 30, were caught on camera in jeans and sneakers store V.I.M in New York's Manhattan Hamilton Heights where the credit card was used.

They got busted after also using the electronic payment method at a MetroPCS store where a cell phone was purchased, Manhattan Criminal Court heard Friday.

A third unidentified charge is believed to have been made on the card, reports New York Post.

'I took it and went on a shopping spree,' Flanagan told police, according to court documents. 'I knew it wasn't mine.'

Money was spent in jeans and sneakers store V.I.M in New York's Manhattan Hamilton Heights 

He was arrested Thursday on charges of grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. 

Flanagan – who has also been arrested in the past for jumping a turnstile in 2017 and criminal mischief in July – was let go after his court appearance Friday.

Accomplice Echavarria was taken into custody November 6 on a charge of criminal possession of stolen property for possessing a stolen credit card, debit card and public benefit card. 

He was released the following day.

'My condolences to their family,' Flanagan's roommate said in court according to the New York Daily News. 'Unfortunately he's into stuff that I'm not into. I was with him when he committed his act, but I had no idea, no knowledge of what he had been doing. It's a story of wrong place, wrong time.'

Flanagan's boyfriend said he did not know Biden in any way at the time of committing the offense.

The boyfriend said: 'We've been dating on and off and he had a rough patch, so he was staying here a couple times, but that's all I know about the guy.'

Joe Biden's niece Caroline was in court for a $100,000 credit card scam in July

In perhaps a twist of fate, former Vice President Biden’s niece, Caroline Biden avoided time behind bars for running up a bill of over $100,000 at Greenwich Village’s Bigelow pharmacy in June.

The 31-year-old - whose father is Joe's brother James Biden - had her felony conviction thrown out and she was allowed the lesser plea of petit larceny.

Caroline had to endure 10 days of community service at a children’s hospital and paid full restitution $110,810.04 after being caught with the Chase card in 2017.

Caroline’s victim had said she could only spend $672 on the card.

In 2013 she was arrested for trying to hit a law enforcement officer responding to a dispute over rent at her $3,500-a-month Tribeca apartment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
