Not enough. GoFundMe must be investigated.

Statement...

[RandFan]

I agree they should be prosecuted for fraud and attempted theft !

How they thought they would get away with this I don't know.

Hubris?

I would believe it when the donors money is actually returned. Otherwise the money was scheduled to got to BLM, Planned Parent hood and SPLC.

Just in case you missed it-Did you know if you dispute the donation to gfm with your bank/CC they will be charged a $15 dispute fee. They want you to click the refund link because then there will be no fees. What they don’t want is 120,000 (amt of donors) $15 fees! Just sayin’

Its a winning political issue. A smart candidate will pick it up.

Isn’t there an alternative to go fund me? No activists?

There was a Reddit thread late last night that was pulled and LOTS of contributors were lawyers and attorneys. Apparently, they sent legal letters or emails to GoStealMe to either hand back their money or face legal consequences. That Reddit thread was pulled this morning.

in addition, a few of them cited the agreement when joining GoStealMe that NO WHERE on the agreement does it say they weill decide on their own to take your money and hand it to charities. They dug their own graves when they stated it on the announcement.

GoFundMe is out of their depth. We know that when the Tea Party movement started that a number of the charities were scams. We've also found out that BLM is a total scam.

GoFundMe was just supposed to be a payment processor, but are trying to do the job of tax inspectors. The only thing they have in common with FedGov is when fraud is expected instead of returning money to those defrauded they give it to their favorite libtard charities.

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.

It is a start.

From a FReeper who donated to Givesendgo...

I got 3 emails back from Givesendgo this morning.

The first one thanking me for my gift, with my receipt numbers, etc.

The second one thanking me for the bit extra that I gave to their business, as this is what they operate on.

They stated that ALL of the money that’s donated to their campaigns goes directly to those people, nothing skimmed off the top for them. There is a line that you can give some extra to them for handling when you make your donation. This is going to bring in much extra for the truckers.

The third email was thanking me again, and it included a verse from Scripture.

[RandFan]

Thanks max I appreciate it

Seems this was all over social media last night.

I don’t monitor reddit etc. so had no idea it spread to there.

Patriots.win thread was good that mewzilla linked to. They were organizing a mass charge back campaign that would have hurt them!

GoFundMe, meet Salvation Army. Salvation Army, meet GoFundMe.

Get Woke ... Oh, you know the rest.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

There is something where you could file a chargeback to your credit card which would cost GFM $10-100/per transaction - as many people that were furious about this, that would be costly as over 120,000 people donated.

If your bank contested that you clarify that it is under Regulation E and they could get in trouble if they didn’t do it.

GFM no doubt knew this might be coming down the pipeline which is why they are trying to look civil about it.

“Attempted THEFT” is still a crime sometimes...

should be easy enough to prove that one

[max americana]

Thanks for the info, I heard Givesendgo IS the alternative. I will email this to my cousin in Sask who is part of the convoy. (I grew up in Saskatchewan).

[Brooklyn Attitude]

The way the media will report this is that the people who donated to the Truckers, hate charities.

GoFund Me has renamed itself GoFund a Marxist.
