#1 According to this, they have decided to refund all to original donors. I suspect their legal department told them having a bunch of states' AGs on their backs for fraud might be bad for business.

#3 So GO F'Me has the final say.. if the $$$$$ is in line with greater agenda DEPENDING if its for the far left, or against it?

What about the $$$$ that they handled for the Democrats riots, Anti-FA, BLOM, FAL-CHE-ISM (sp), LAW VIOLATIONS.

#4 Found on Gab:
"If you donated to the GoFundMe for the Freedom Convoy 2022 do NOT request a refund. Call your bank (or credit card company) and request a chargeback for services not rendered. This will charge GoFundMe up to $35 per incident - potentially costing GoFundMe millions of dollars for their shenanigans."

#5 And having worked for a credit card processor for nearly five years, I can tell you that is a legitimate use of charge back. Plus if you more than 3-4, the processor typically boots you from their service.

#6 I suspect their legal department told them having a bunch of states' AGs on their backs for fraud might be bad for business.

Me, I'd attribute this to not wanting to piss off the credit card companies ala #5, rather than running afoul of Soros AGs.

#7 I don't know why anyone would use the statist bootlicker GoFundMe.

#8 But the one I was involved with came out and basically said, "If you don't believe in Black Lives Matter and all they do, you can piss off." That's OK.

Got it.

#9 I've read people are having trouble accessing GiveSendGo online. This may be a "situational" DDOS, with great numbers of people trying to sign on all at once.

#11 Yes. Not every state's AG is in the Soros orbit.

#12 GoFundMe is very selective on how they apply their "Standards".
