Believable but also Oh God Not This Guy Again re: Shaun King what a fucking grifter
What'd he do wrong (just some background, many people on Twitter are saying that Shaun's tweets got deleted.)
Here's one example and not even the first time he did exactly this. The other times were mostly during the BLM protests. While I believe this is true just as Avatar does, Shaun is a well known grifter snake who's run multiple fundraiser scams. I haven't seen him mentioned in years I figured he just retreated from the public eye in shame but I guess he's still trying to pretend to be a legit activist.
Here's a more thorough list of his repeated pattern of scamming and profiting off of police killings of black people.

Short article below, but there are several long form video essays and podcasts about him if you want to know more.

I can't believe he is still around.
