Web panhandler pays off $20,000 debt.
- After an 18-month bacchanal buying Manolo Blahnik, Gucci and Prada, Karyn Bosnak found herself unemployed and more than $20,000 in credit card debt.
When the 29-year-old spotted a sign in a supermarket with an odd request — “Wanted: $7,000 To Pay Off Debt” — it made perfect sense. The television producer launched a similar appeal to a much larger audience: the World Wide Web.
Internet panhandling was born.
