Deadbeat Douchebag Josh Schuppert Busted for Stolen Gear Scam in New Hampshire
Josh Schuppert, a notorious lowlife from Newmarket, New Hampshire, tried to pull off a dodgy overseas scam using a fake uncle’s death to flog stolen broadcast equipment. But his clever con quickly unravelled, landing him in hot water with cops and his former employer.
Fake Funeral Story Used to Sell Stolen Goods
Schuppert broke into NH1.com’s equipment store – the digital hub for eight New Hampshire and five Maine stations – and nicked a haul of pricey LiveU Broadcasting units. To cover his tracks, he spun a sob story about his uncle’s death, posting in a LiveU support group asking how much he should sell the stolen gear for.
Some sympathised, even offering condolences. But the ruse was just a sham to make a quick buck.
Buyer Smells a Rat, Alerting Owner
The plan crumbled when a savvy buyer flagged the suspicious sale to the rightful owners. LiveU teams in the UK and US checked the serial numbers and confirmed the units were flagged stolen.
NH1 bosses revealed Schuppert was spotted lurking around the building before the break-in but they lacked proof linking him to the theft—until now.
Police Now Involved, Charges Imminent
- Other stolen items have turned up in local pawn shops.
- All messages and evidence passed to New Hampshire police.
- Charges expected soon against the serial thief.
NH1 station boss blasted Schuppert’s “low life actions” and promised justice is on the way.
