A Democrat sense of entitlement: Joe Biden’s niece finally pays up for $100K credit card scam

Joe Biden’s niece finally pays up for $100K credit card scam


Former Vice President Joe Biden’s wild-child niece has finally coughed up the $100,000 she owed from a 2016 stolen-credit-card binge at a posh Greenwich Village pharmacy.
Caroline Biden, 30 — whose financier dad, James, is the ex-veep’s brother — had racked up bills totaling $110,810.04 at Bigelow Apothecaries on Sixth Avenue.
The privileged Georgetown University grad had borrowed the unidentified victim’s Chase card in 2015, with permission to make a single purchase at Bigelow totaling $672, according to prosecutors.
But then she set up an unauthorized account in the card-owner’s name and went on a spending spree at the posh drugstore, where such common items as hairbrushes and skin creams can run into the hundreds of dollars.
She’d pleaded guilty to grand larceny in June in Manhattan Supreme Court, receiving a no-jail deal.
By making court-ordered restitution on Friday, her plea deal gets even sweeter: Once she completes 10 days of community service, she’ll be able to re-plead to petit larceny.
She’ll then serve two years’ probation.
The cheerful-looking blonde declined comment after court Friday; she returns on June 11.
Biden has done a stint in rehab and was busted for resisting arrest and harassment after a dust-up with her Tribeca roommate in 2014.
