'FOOTBALL-SIZED TUMOR' Scammer Won't Face Jail Time

'FOOTBALL-SIZED TUMOR' Scammer Won't Face Jail Time

Madison Russo told the world she was battling pancreatic cancer and had a tumor “the size of a football."

It was all a lie.

After Russo bilked donors out of more than $37,000 through her posts on social media, some eagle-eyed medical professionals began questioning her diagnosis. The anonymous witnesses noticed inaccuracies in the photos she posted of herself and contacted authorities.

Russo is arrested and charged with first-degree theft. Now, under a plea deal, Russo gets a suspended sentence and stays out of jail
