CBS Employee Who Called "GoFundMe" Pizza Campaign A Fraud Used Same Service For Free Vegas Trip
Original freeper research ^ | 4/4/2015 | icwhatudo

Posted on 04/04/2015 6:37:23 PM PDT by icwhatudo

As reported by Kristinn Taylor at Gateway Pundit "Alix Bryan, a social media employee with WTVR-TV, the CBS affiliate in Richmond, Virginia, is being investigated by station management for filing a false fraud report to GoFundMe against Memories Pizza"

GoFundMe is an online fundraising tool that was being used on behalf of the restaurant. The restaurant had been forced to close due to threats that were made after stating that, while they would serve gay customers, they would not cater a homosexual wedding.

What is strange about Ms. Bryan worrying about the misuse of GoFundMe is that she used the same service to finance a free trip for herself to Las Vegas.

The GoFundMe page has since been removed but her article about the experience : "What it’s like to crowdsource a birthday dinner at é by José Andrés" is still active as of this evening.

In her article she had some reservations using GoFundMe in such a manner, getting a free Vegas trip, and said she felt "greedy, stupid and desperate." She went on to rationalize that she had done a lot of work for the less fortunate and did not need to feel guilty. Below is a screenshot of her thoughts:

It seems her station eventually forced her to apologize but has not announced any other action. A previous tweet by Ms. Bryan sums it up best..."WOW":

As for her recent silence on twitter and refusal to answer questions?

I’ve noticed a distinct butch/androgynous aspect to the fools tweeting in haste and repenting at leisure. See also: Elkhart teacher.

Wow.

40 years old and full of yourself is no way to go through life.

Kristinn is a icon of FReepers from the very first. Back in the day when we were on the front lines and in the left’s face he and other’s like the late Dr. Raoul and Trueblackman, were more tea party than tea party... think 1998!

"She" (Kristinn) is a dude. And one of the good guys too

...and one of the smartest, most well-informed and most well-spoken people ever. Thanks again, Kristinn, for your research and your leadership with Freeps, especially the years of chatting with and attempting to educated people exiting from White House tours during the Ex42 administration.

I belong to a group on Facebook called You Grew Up In _____ And Remember When........ A gal on there set up a GoFundMe to pay for her wedding and kept posting it. I told her to stop begging the group for money the other day. She told me I need more God in my life! Lol. I said....apparently you need more money in yours.
I’d be ashamed to beg people for money for something trivial.

She knew her own reasons were rotten and selfish, and simply assumed that OTHERS, too, are as rotten and selfish as she is.

This makes a lot of sense.

ANYONE seeing fit to employ her after this should be exposed —the hiring decision should be made very expensive.

I apologize for my misunderstanding.

Both Kristinn and Icwhatudo did the original work being referenced above.
