GoFundMe Panics, Switches to Automatic Refunds After Calls for Disputed Charges

h/t joe6pak

Liberty Daily: Community “charity” fundraising company GoFundMe demonstrated they’re woke and fascist at the same time by canceling the Freedom Convoy campaign and promising to send the $9+ million raised to “approved charities.” Now, they’re scrambling to fix the PR nightmare that ensued by moving to refund all donations.

The company had hoped that by dropping the news late on a Friday that they’d avoid some of the backlash. But it was quickly seized by conservatives across social media as an example of the totalitarian nature of the left. We didn’t let them oppose freedom without voicing our opinions and pushing to make them feel the pain. more here

  1. It also highlights the unintended consequence of supporting riots in 2020.
    YOU built that!
    You cannot condemn any protest now.
    When assholes are allowed to burn loot & murder you can’t come down on taxpayers honking their horns.
    Not to mention the fact that truckers ACTUALLY do something extremely productive.
    BLM assholes only deliver pain & suffering to a community.

    Motherfuckers are waking up!

  2. They were really smug assholes too.
    They actually thought keeping the money that wasn’t refunded and give it to leftists orgs was going to fly.

    Jack Posobiec is releasing all their old tweets that show how they STILL support terrorists and their 100% hypocrisy.

    He’s now going after “The Rock” and his Joe Rogan hypocrisy…
    It’s a beautiful thing!

  3. ^^^ “…You do not need to submit a request”

    Go ahead and file the request and complain. For each chargeback that they incur, there is a $15 fee. If they just refund it, there is no pain for them, and they may even try to profit from interest on the account. If they want to be assholes, they should learn some of their rules. They’re scared of everyone requesting/complaining and the bankruptcy it would cause.

  4. They shouldn’t just go bankrupt. These bastards should be criminally charged and, if that produces no effect, at least be thrown into the street with tin cups and #4 lead pencils in lefty run cities. You know, the kind of cities their heroes burned down…

  5. I believe @billyhall2546 ☑ zeroed in on the real reason: without the automatic refunds, GFM¹ would be looking at thousands and thousands of chargebacks each one representing significant bank/VISA fees and administrative overhead. It would have been be EXTREMELY expensive on top of the huge loss of good will.

    1. GoFundMe? …or GoFuckMe…

  6. Why aren’t the Attorney Generals still going to investigate them?

    They have funneled millions to a domestic terrorist organization named BLM.

    Put these motherfuckers on notice and in jail.

    Maybe it is time for a “mostly peaceful protest” at their headquarters where we can all roast hotdogs and marshmallows over their burning building.

    I can tell you why Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson won’t, he’s straight up ANTIFA. He pals around with them in the shadows and supports EVERYTHING the bastards stand for and is responsible for.

  8. I hope in six months we see GiveSendGo explode and GoFundMe implode. I first heard of GiveSendGo when GFM cancelled Owen Shroyer’s funding for his ridiculous Jan 6th arrest. And I saw an interview with GSG – they are Christians that won’t approve fundraising for bail, Chaz/Chop or anything they deem is illegal or immoral. Upfront, no surprises or games.

  9. DeSantis Announces Florida Will Investigate GoFundMe After Company Shut Down Freedom Convoy

    They shit in their own mess kit. This is all the opening a guy like Desantis needed to go mid evil on their asses. This lets the Fox into the henhouse and also opens up the finances of any and all “charities” they have ever funneled other people’s money into.

  10. If I rob a bank, but get religion and decide to give the money back. No harm no foul? Bullshit. This was a conspiracy to commit fraud and the conspirators have been rather reckless and bold. It goes WAY beyond just Go Fund Me, all of the usual suspects are up to their necks in it and there are enough Republican States Attorneys General moving on this to make them better believe the shit is getting real.

    These truckers and farmer/ranchers have so much popular support that it is a game changer.
