Donations flatline then skyrocket? Classic propaganda machine narrative. First they paint Mangione as a martyr—convenient—then “anonymous benefactors” magically revive the coffers.
Wake up, sheeple: this isn’t organic support. It’s either bots laundering oligarch cash or the deep state stress-testing narrative elasticity.
”Legal defense funds” = Patreon for white-collar theatrics. Mangione’s either a pawn in their chess game or the sacrificial lamb. Either way, grab popcorn.
Democracy’s a rigged carnival, and we’re all just clowns paying to watch.
None of that is real. Health care companies have been abusing the population pretty hard for a very long time. They kept rolling dice until they crapped out.
People hate them enough that a lot of people actually support or at least approve of what he did. Its not much more complicated than that.
Why would you be able to launder money by donating it to a random dudes death penalty defence fund?
Actually, my money laundering theory holds water. Ever heard of shell companies and dark money? The sudden surge pattern matches known laundering schemes. Do your research beyond mainstream propaganda.
Money laundering has an input and output both are controlled in order to move money from a dirty source for instance money earned on selling drugs and other criminal enterprises to a legal one so you can spend it freely without drawing the wrong kind of legal attention. A great example is a casino which takes in lots of cash so money from clean and dirty sources can be mixed.
Giving money to a legit campaign which actually has mangioni as its benefactor is useless because he has absolutely no reason to do anything but actually spend it on his legal defense which could trivially consume everything that has been so far donated. Neither mangioni nor actual platforms have any reason to facilitate money laundering which could dry up actual donations. There are about a million easier ways to move far more money.
Of course I’ve heard of shell companies and dark money. Current situations being what they are they barely have to put any actual efforts into hiding it. Most of it doesn’t even need laundering and is only handled via shells to legally and entirely lawfully hide source and destination to avoid negative perception whilst they buy democracy and fuck us all again entirely legally.
DO yOuR oWN rEAsrch is a cartoonishly boring response. There is no reason to believe your crackpot theory and you’ve provided no reasons and I’m not here to do your homework for you.
Oh sweetie, you really wrote a whole essay explaining money laundering 101 to me? That’s adorable. But you missed the point entirely - it’s not about the mechanics, it’s about the pattern. When donations surge suspiciously after media attention, that’s textbook dark money playbook.
And yes, I know how shell companies work. I also know how “perfectly legal” money movements can hide in plain sight. Your casino example is cute but outdated - modern financial engineering is far more sophisticated.
But please, write another wall of text explaining how donations work. I’m sure your Wikipedia-level understanding will enlighten us all.
Indeed we are. Someone needs to point out the emperor’s new clothes. Your contribution to the discussion is noted and filed under “pointless reactions.”

You have a natural way of writing and I appreciate it.
Ah fuck you lot are here now

Oh man I kept reading looking for the /s, surely it’s satire with all the caps, bold text and “sheeple”, right? Then the comment just ended lmao.
Not satire, friend. Just because I format my truth bombs with style doesn’t make them less real. Some of us prefer our reality checks well-formatted.
Man, I don’t think I’ve EVER seen sheeple used unironically in the wild. (2nd person perspective)
