    Completely unsurprising. He didn't conceal himself very well. How much time will he get:

    As I always say, there's lots of money to be made in Big Racism. Ask Sharpton.

    Not surprising at all. Donations are a big market. Lots of scams. With BLM taking in as much as it has, someone was bound to scam on their name.

    I hope he gets the maximum and has to pay everybody back.

    Agreed.

    There seems to be a lot of this sort of "fraud" going around:

    Steve Bannon, a $25M Border Wall Campaign, and a GoFundMe Gone Bad

    Digging up a no-name penny-ante con artist is gonna make people think of this. So the OP is either bait or just real weak.

    That a racist fraud organization spawned fraud charities is hardly surprising...

    200k is 1/125th of 25M. Half seems reasonable.

    It is very common and a fish rots from the head down so when an actual standard bearer for a large portion of the population does this crap it gives the smaller fish a green light.
    The corruption and greed in the USA is a cancer that has metastasized. This BLM incident is one of countless abuses of charitable funds.

    The topic here is racist BLM and the fraud charities they have spawned. You should start a thread about silly orange man bad stuff if you can't stay on topic...

    My post is absolutely topic but maybe you are seeing it thru some type of a tunnel. What racism? It's about embezzlement.

    Not in this thread. Unless the lefty racist fraud groups don't even know why they are rioting. This is about racist BLM spawning fraudulent charities. It has nothing to do with Trump at all. Such sad little deflections reek of desperation to keep eyes off the racists in BLM...

    You seem to be going off topic on your own thread. Its about embezzlement of charity funds and you are making it about rioting and racism. Why?

    He should have just bought a painting of himself, then the right would support him 100%
