That’s what still fucking infuriates me. None of them got any punishment for the lives the destroyed. My dad is working in his 70s because his retirement 401k practically disappeared. None of them got anything but a fucking bailout to save their asses.
Good, hopefully Brittany Dawn is next. The state of Texas is suing her for scamming many with her “fitness plans.” She “helped” a homeless man with his alcoholism by raising around 25k on gofundme but… Who knows where it went? She transitioned to running a trendy Christian ministry that charges hundreds and also is “fostering” babies while monetizing them for her content. Would love to see her held accountable. >

Brittany Dawn is terrible and I really hope her GFM scheme, as well as allllll the other awful things she does, gets more attention soon.  The recent monetized fostering was unbelievable. >

This is the lady from the heartwarming story of a homeless vet giving his money to help her out. >

wow.  that story was so believable too.  this is the kind of shit that makes me more and more jaded when i hear stories about people falling on hard times or whatever.  
it's getting so frustrating. >

Almost like charity isn't a good solution for systemic issues like poverty alleviation. >

For real. America loves these headlines but I’m like… we just celebrated a victim of systemic poverty winning the lottery. And hey, it was a scam all along, lol. >

Brittany Dawn has entered the chat. /r/brittanydawnsnark >

More time in prison than the bankers that crashed our economy multiple times in the past two decades. >

Sad but true. That Wells Fargo exec who peed on a woman mid-flight will get more time for that than anyone got. >

System working as intended. It's in their best interest to not go after each other all the time, at the expense of everyone else. >

Wasn't that a relatively small player though? They never did anything to the big name execs. >

If the couple hadn't gotten greedy and had given the homeless guy his full share, they probably would have gotten away with it. >

Except the homeless man was also charged and took part in the fraudulent act but must have decided that 75k wasn't enough when he heard how much the go fund me really made. They're all greedy and stupid together. >

Why would you turn them in when you’re homeless and you can get $75k… >

Greed. Someone always has more. >

What? Getting 75k is a once in a lifetime occurrence. Homeless dude should have just accepted the money >

Not all homeless people are just unlucky and unfortunate. Some are just really stupid. >

They honestly would have gotten away with it if that had given the dude like 75%.  
Dude probably would have been happy and they got a bunch of cash.  Their next worry would be explaining it on taxes. >

The dude was in on the scam, so it's hard to say if he would have ever been happy and not just chased for more money.
Also it's not unlikely the gofundme by itself is enough to settle the tax question. Very few situations actually get a full investigated audit. >

Has anyone ever gotten away with one of these donation scams? >

Did he lose the $75k? >

So he's still homeless I'm guessing. >

Got sent to rehab. Basically win win >

Yet the former president scams a whole country and nothing? >

She will do more time than SBF. >

Maybe not. Bernie Madoff got a 150-year sentence for his financial crimes. >

Yep, wily old bastard died in prison >

Do this as a regular person, get prison time. Do this on wallstreet, get congratulated by your peers and maybe pay a “cost of doing business” fine. >

I remember this and remember when the homeless man sued them. They're despicable people for lying to so many just so they can buy expensive cars and handbags and go to Vegas. Awful humans >

I knew the story was nonsense the day i read it. >

So she's basically earning $133 grand a year for 3 years off in taxpayer funded food and shelter program.  Not a bad trade-off. >

Read the ruling (or at least the article); she has to pay back all the money. >

Serious question: How is this different from the BLM Foundation (Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation) that collected millions after the George Floyd murder and then bought multiple million dollar homes with some of the money? I'm sure no donor expected their cash to be used for that purpose. >

First, this woman was dumb enough to attach her name to it. You incorporate and you have more protections (nonprofit entities are typically incorporated). 
Second, idk all the ins and outs of this story in its entirety but there are at least two scenarios off the top of my head that would allow for the BLM org get away with it. The first is that the BLM ceo gets paid a fat salary. The irs is only going to investigate and sanction a nonprofit that is paying a ceo exorbitantly more than other CEOs of a similar sized nonprofit.  
The other scenario is that the org bought the mansion and used it as a headquarters. This wouldn’t even raise any red flags since places need to have brick and mortar operations and there isn’t much difference between an expensive downtown Manhattan office and a mansion in price, but the location can be justified as it’s a grassroots movement and needs the space and to be need the suburbs. >

Maybe if people paid less attention to social media.... >

Great work. Now with this on her resume she fits as a future Republican. The dogs of democracy. >

Maybe a dumb question: why is this a crime? It's a really horrible thing to do, but don't people lie to other people to get money all the time?
I'm thinking specifically about politicians and what they say to fundraise. >

It’s fraud >

Now I'm wondering about the romance writer Susan Meachen who faked her death on social media and had people donate to her gofundme for funeral expenses and her family. That's pretty egregious and while I doubt anyone would get any money back I wonder if there are grounds to sue for fraud. >

Based on this, absolutely she should be in prison. >

Makes me wonder though, why the finders of the failed Coup haven’t seen any jail time >

3 years seems extremely light to me but I suppose it's reasonable. >

Wish this law would apply to politicians that blatantly lie about their resumes.   After all, they raised a lot of money with those lies. >

No. Tell me more >
