BATON ROUGE, La. — Attorney General Jeff Landry announces his office is launching a probe to determine whether GoFundMe’s handling of the Freedom Convoy fundraiser violated Louisiana’s consumer protection laws. The AG urges citizens to contact his office.

Good to see the Florida and Louisiana are going to send the prosecutors to knock on GOFUNDME’s doors.

The first week of February has been a good week for Patriots.

1. GOFUNDME outs itself for being the Leftist organization it always was.

2. FACEBOOK is forced to announce that its subscribers are leaving and its market capitalization is now $400 BILLION less than it was Sept 2021.

Corporations had better take note of-— GO WOKE—GO BROKE-—before they become the next company who gets slammed.

First go fund me was going to distribute said funds to other charities. If they did so EVERY donor had the right to sue their sorry asses for theft.

They created their own PR nightmare! Couldn’t be happier for them!

The Leftist media fuels the nightmare for idiot companies like this by propping up the ever-declining Left to make gullible people -- including CEOs -- believe they're some sort of unstoppable monolith, and that "woke" is the wave of the future.

Like the Salvation Army, GoFundMe is about to find out that buying the media's pro-Left propaganda is a recipe for disaster.

I can't believe companies still don't understand the wisdom behind Michael Jordan's famous explanation for why he doesn't get political: "Republicans buy sneakers, too."

Oh, I’m certain you’re right. Trudeau’s government accusing the convoy of violence and racism likely was at least in part designed to provide GoFundMe a handy excuse to cancel the truckers.

Or "harrassment," another handy legal weasel word. Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment. "promotion of..." makes the meaning even foggier. Like I said, to be safe you have to get a lawyer to check the TOS.

Let me add my two cents here.
1. Did GOFUNDME contact Ottawa first asking Ottawa to say the truckers were promoting violence?
2. GOFUNDME needed an excuse to do what they did.
3. GOFUNDME had no problems with BLM and CHAZ funding in 2020.
4. GOFUNDME and Ottawa and Trudeau are all leftists. Leftists have no problem colluding to achieve their mission.
5. Would RICO statutes come into play here?
6. When the truckers raised $10 million, the Leftists had to take drastic action to shut down the truckers. Too many people in the USA and Canada were becoming too sympathetic with the truckers.

Some thoughts to add to your astute comments.

American Express would not do a charge back when I called them last night, before GFM changed their refund policy. Rethinking my relationship with Amex, already done with GFM.

When a peasant doesn’t pay his taxes on time, the IRS charges interest and penalties. This should apply to GFM.

It’s card processors

Bank owner processors park money....for days to batch and settle and disburse

Mine hit daily but they hold around 60% which hits on one big drop weekly

It’s a joke...but my bank requires I use Elavon which processes for the bank card issuer and all get a cut.

Others like Square don’t

I’ve taken cards a long time

It’s a pure racket

Big bank processors like Evalon may charge 7% for outside unverified charges

Square charts 1.5-2%

There are other cheap processors too

And money transfer apps are eating into this as well

It’s only a matter of time it’s mostly device prompted

I own car washes and refund daily via cash app and Venmo and zelle

The first two charge I think one and a half percent to move cash from them to your bank account....instant....free if you can wait 1-3 days

Course they have your money bearing interest in meantime

Zelle a member bank service may be free

This is fast evolving biz model and technology but I’d say plastic as we know it is on the wane

Let me tell y’all there are many factors to them backing up

But love him or hate him

Elon Musk voice is a mighty hammer....

And he knows this financial money processing business as well as anyone having been a PayPal founder

I don’t agree with his every utterance but when he’s with us I’m happy

3. GOFUNDME had no problems with BLM and CHAZ funding in 2020.

They got no significant blowback for that. I wonder if they were part of Kamala bailing out arsonists and brick hurlers. They ignored their TOS "promotion of violence and harassment" there?

4. GOFUNDME and Ottawa and Trudeau are all leftists. Leftists have no problem colluding to achieve their mission.

Maybe they are Zelig characters, amoral ideological chameleons, making money from all donors until the govt. etc. blackmailed them. Or maybe they were leftists all along. Sometimes you get the same results.

6. When the truckers raised $10 million, the Leftists had to take drastic action to shut down the truckers. Too many people in the USA and Canada were becoming too sympathetic with the truckers.

Agree.
