A Queens con man failed Tuesday to come up with th❀e money he owes for cashing in his dead dad’s pension and social security payments for more than a y🌃ear as his body lay unclaimed in a Long Island morgue.
Christopher Bunn remained locked up overꦏ the money despite a plea deal to꧋ grand larceny that would have avoided him jail time. Queens Court Judge Barry Kron remanded Bunn a day earlier when he failed to produce the $25,000 restitution he agreed to pay.
Bunn said the cash would be wired within 24 hours, but that appeared to h🌃ave been just another ruse.
“Bunn’s counsel is not here today and not surprisingly to me the transfer of money over the international wire hasn’t been accomplished,” Kron said.
Authorities said Bunn collected pension payments totalling $7,542 and Social Security of $17,790 which were electronically depo𓃲sited between February 2010 and April 2011.
Investigators from the s▨tate comptroller’s office said Bunn lived with his father, a widower, and withdrꩵew the money from an account they shared.
James Bunn, who died Feb. 24, 2010, was collecting on his wifeꦬ’s pensi🅺on, which was not transferable upon his death.
The 77-year-old was pronounced dead in a car in a Lake Success parking lot of natural c𒆙auses.
Bunn acknowledged th🌄e death on Facebook, but never reported it to authorities.
