It is fraud. Money was for a lawn business.
After bait and switch, money is now for a free house. If the original asked for a free house, the outcome would be different.
Liberalism is ask for nice things but do different.

There was no fraud, the web page was updated continually, showing how much they’d raised and saying that they were now going for other things such as clothing, education, house, etc.
You can criticize people for choosing to contribute, but anyone who clicked the donate button on their web page did it with ample knowledge of the state of the campaign and the new goals etc.
That was exactly my thoughts... the money was to start a lawn mowing business... not to buy his mother a house and pay for his education... you would go to jail for fraud if you tried that... why is this different?
