When donors gave their money they entered into a contract. If GMF unilaterally changed the terms of that contract after the fact they are guilty of breach of contract.
If the terms of the GFM contract prohibited this kind of fund raising but allowed this fund raising and then cut off the fund raising, GFM is guilty of fraud.
In court the plaintiffs have to ask, if this fund raising was prohibited by the GFM terms of use why did GFM allow the fund raising in the first place?
If GFM claims criminal acts negate the contract, they will have to explain why BLM was funded during government imposed curfews, riots, destruction, arrests, and looting.
And you’re probably 10000% right.
For now, they need the money NOW. Not months down the road and an apology after the fact.
If the truckers’ lawyers could get in a courtroom to force the issue, that might help. Good luck getting in a courtroom.
Now, some enterprising soul setting up a Canadian version of a 501c3 and doling out the money....that might work.
We are automatically refunding your Freedom Convoy 2022 donation.
GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created. However, as a result of multiple discussions with local law enforcement and police reports of violence and other unlawful activity, the Freedom Convoy fundraiser has been removed from the GoFundMe platform.
The update we issued earlier enabled all donors to get a refund and outlined a plan to distribute remaining funds to verified charities selected by the Freedom Convoy organizers. However, due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process for you. We will automatically refund your contributions directly - you do not need to submit a request. You can expect to see your refund within 7-10 business days.
Agreed!
Basic Contract Law.
GoBrandonMe would know this if it wasn’t in reality part of the SV radicals trying to follow Klaus Schwab’s orders.
