A Florida man who was arrested and convicted of impersonating a doctor as a teenager was sentenced to 28 months in prison last week for stealing thousands of dollars from his employer in a separate scheme.
Malachi Love-Robinson, now 25, pleaded guilty to grand theft and organized scheme to defraud. He worked as a salesperson at a business connecting shippers with trucking companies in 2020, and customers paid him instead of his employer, according to court documents.

It will be Love-Robinson’s second prison term after he pleaded guilty to fraud, grand theft and practicing medicine without a license in 2016.

In that earlier incident, he identified himself as “Dr. Love” and opened The New Birth New Life Medical Center, which he used to steal $30,000 from an 80-year-old patient and another $20,000 from a doctor.

The con man was arrested in that case after he prescribed treatment to an undercover officer who was investigating his bogus practice.
While out on bail for impersonating the doctor in 2016, Love-Robinson was also arrested for trying to buy a vehicle with a stolen credit card.
