All told, he walked away with thousands of dollars before GoFundMe closed his campaign and Facebook terminated his account. At the time of this report, he has not been prosecuted and continues to brag on social media about his scheme. Hernandez claims to have successfully withdrawn the money.
Perhaps the most heinous facet of his scheme is the timing and nature: Hernandez claimed to have COVID-19 in order to promote his pleas and allegedly took money from individuals during a time when many families in America were out of work and struggling to make ends meet.
Please consider sharing this report on social media to raise awareness about this individual and to help bring him to justice.
If Hernandez is lying about the money—evidence unfortunately points to him telling the truth—you will see below that he certainly made an attempt at scamming Trump supporters, encouraged others to do the same, and invested a considerable amount of time in doing so.

My account got disabled and taken down. The jig is officially up. But here are some highlights. I kept it generic and anti democrat and they ate it up. I spent about a week and had about 3500 friends. pic.twitter.com/mTyaqC0MBi— Esteban (@e_hernandez15) June 27, 2020
Hernandez, who may or may not be using his real name, created a GoFundMe campaign claiming to be a “Latino Trump supporter” who recently became homeless. Using a Facebook account, he herded numerous do-gooders to his profile, eventually amassing some 3,500 friends from conservative circles. Then, after they came to him out of the goodness of their hearts, he scammed scores of charitable Christian Trump supporters who reached out to support him.
