I love you, Cecilia, for anger at abusive behavior, for your level of indignation in response to corruption, and for all your goodness and gumption, which makes you say, "I hate GoFundMe, they are Evil!!" We tried to use the platform to raise money for fired health care workers---and were completely blown off by this group of criminals supporting all the evil and violence in our cities. You are right. Rotten to the core!!
PS- you can still write sentences, even when angry!
It’s really outrageous that GoFund Me has the audacity to even attempt this. Even more outrageous is that they feel entitled to do so or think they have the moral authority to decide upon which charities they feel are deserving enough to receive some of the dedicated contributions to their selections. This really speaks volumes about the company and the attitude of those in power that feel they are morally superior and best know how make decisions that “we the people “ aren’t fit to run our own lives.
Yes, but please never sink into despair, "they" are not in control of your emotions, you are! Which doesn't mean you can't lay out the case against evil-doers in ways that nail them to the wall while enlightening others. You can!
While GoFundMe absolutely sucks in general and especially with what they did here, the truth is that they made the call to automatically refund all of the contributions about 12 hours before DeSantis announced his investigation. I suspect their reconsideration was actually prompted by a large volume of donators requesting credit card chargebacks, creating pressure from the credit card processors for them to do the right thing to avoid the headaches of tens of thousands of chargeback transactions.
I'm glad GoRobMe had a "come to Jesus" moment under the threat of an investigation. On a different note, I would love to have you as a guest on my radio program. I remember listening to your father on WOR.

Truly they deserve rage, defamation suits, and no more customers.
Celia
Of course they offered to give away the money to someone else first
Go f me indeed
How could the organisers and donors not know of gofund's history?
I was watching this situation early on and had a very bad feeling about it. My gut is always right.

Law professor Jonathan Turley. recently penned an excellent article about the historical bad faith of GoFundMe. I highly recommend it:

You're absolutely correct!

Amen, Celia!

Well said. I have never thought GoFundMe was a good company to deal with but did not know why. Thank you for explaining.
Well done Ron De Santis - fancy a new job as Prime Minister of the UK?
