"We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn't just about one individual—it's about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness," read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

Dont get scammed...

Once you find a proper place, use crypto.

If you don't know how to do any of this. Stop. Learn. Then come back.

lol so when you pull your money out you’re immediately marked by the Feds? Crypto isn’t magic dude, in fact it’s extremely traceable. Only scammers want you to believe it isn’t.

If GoFundMe picks and chooses who gets to abide by their terms and who doesn't, can people challenge them in court? TOS includes: Users agree they will not use the platform for, among other things “the legal defense of financial and violent crimes, including those related to money laundering, murder, robbery, assault, battery, sex crimes, or crimes against minors.” Why is this different for Luigi than Trump? How can one be denied and the other given a pass, legally?

We've been here before with wikileaks. I believe there's a certain digital solution that many of us discovered around that time.

A community effort to send in handwritten checks is probably the safer bet. If his public defender is worth anything (unlikely), they'll try to use the public support to hire a stronger legal defense team.

If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
