I don’t know what information they all have, and of course I loathe what Gofundme did, but there have been some false reports out there.
I think it was on Tucker’s show last night that it was stated GFM was directing all of the funds to charities of their choice, because of broken laws, blah, blah, blah, which didn’t matter when it came to BLM.
Having said that, GFM had always offered refunds, right from the get-go. They said that you just had to fill out their form, which I did, and it was beyond easy. I got an email back immediately saying my charges would be reversed in 7 to 10 days.
After that I got an email saying that they were refunding all donations, no filled-out form required. This is good, because it meant everyone got their money back, and they didn’t get to keep a little pile from people who didn’t request their money back, for whatever reason.
I am confused as to why these AGs would be doing this....they could wind up with egg on their faces. I hope they have all of their facts right. Perhaps I’m missing something as well.
While GFM (which I now refer to as GFY) is a leftist group, and sway with the left blowing winds, they did offer refunds. I’m sincerely hope since they are so woke, they also go broke.
See post #1097 from exit.
This was their original statement and it is clear.
This really got out of hand.

Per posts that I’m reading, on threads, here, I think it has to do with the fact that they even withheld the funds, to begin with.
And, the fact that they’ll have 7-10 days (before refunding) to earn interest on. That’s a LOT of interest, on $10M.
And....that they took this course of action to avoid the $$$$ they’d be paying out, for any disputes made via donors credit card cos. I think it’s $15/dispute.
We’ll have to see how it all plays out.
They’re weasels, in my book, regardless....for even kowtowing to FJT and withholding the $10M.
