Oops, how did this get here . . .
editors note: Contribute at your own risk, I did not extensively research the legitimacy of the fund and there may be some doubt as to where the money is destined
Is this legitimate? Often there are people who are using a popular event to get rich quick.
I think so. It appears to be the one the article talks about, and it's got over a $100k
His lawyer apparently is saying that he won't be accepting outside money, so probably all donations are scams.
This one says:
So if Luigi will reject it, then who are the political prisoners that will get it?
Probably January 5th Capitol Riot defendants, unfortunately.
I edited the comment for awareness.
I think even if the funds aren't going to him, there is still at least some value in keeping the conversation going and the political memes flowing. Like it or not, this whole thing has become a hell of a lot bigger than our hero Luigi, and for damn good reason. It's healthy for this country to keep the momentum goin here.
Probably not
Thank you doing the lords work.
