Love-Robinson, now 23 years old, became quite the meme when he was first arrested for illegally practicing medicine as a teenager. Apparently, he’s still up to the same schemes that made him internet famous in the first place.

Love-Robinson was most recently arrested for fraud and grand theft. According to WPTV, he’s allegedly had clients pay him directly instead of his company, pocketing thousands of dollars in the process.

The local NBC station first posted the arrest on Twitter.

“Fake teen doctor arrested for fraud again in Palm Beach County,” WPTV posted.

Love-Robinson was first arrested in 2018 for similar charges, as well as practicing medicine without a license. He was only 18 years old when he was charged with stealing $20,000 from a patient in 2015.

Back then, a photo of him posing as a doctor made its rounds on the internet.
