A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors.
The site, Expose Charlie’s Murderers, launched hours after the assassination of the right-wing influencer, 31, in September. It promised a searchable trove of names and workplaces for “the largest firing operation in history,” according to Drop Site’s review of the now-offline project.
The site listed six crypto wallets and raised more than $30,000 between Sept. 12 and 14 before repeatedly going dark, resurfacing as the “Charlie Kirk Data Foundation,” and disappearing again, Drop Site reported.

I swear, conservatives are NEVER going to stop taking massive Ls.
When you control the media, you have an endless amounts of ignorant or gullible people to swindle.
You tell 300 million people that a man is a gang member, a criminal, a terrible person and they are the cause of the problems around you. They are the reason you see murders on the news everyday.
You don’t need evidence, you just say it. Then Noem says it, then some random racist cherry picks incidents to show as evidence. Fox focuses all their interviews around pointing blame at them without usually actually saying it directly. Newsmax repeats it. CBS, NBC, CNN all call them alleged criminals.
So 300 million people keep hearing and seeing it and some start to repeat it. Still without any actual evidence. And you are giving people an easy way out. My problems aren’t my own, the people who are around me are struggling because *checks notes… the people who were causing less crime, oops can’t say that. The people who are different than me, are causing it. Some of them even have their own cultures or languages that I don’t understand! It must be their fault. It wasn’t like this when people grew up in (pulls out rose tinted glasses and makes excuses for everything bad that happened during those times).
Life only gets worse as wealth becomes scarce. Wealth becomes scarce for the majority when it gets hoarded by the few.
Why did life appear to get better for a number of years, what was the great depression, maybe charts like these show something…
It should be 90% of the population voting to spread the wealth. Yet with the media controlled by the wealthy, we are easier to manipulate
LOL

Like taking candy from a baby
Grifters gonna grift.
This is great, but it’s interesting to me that this is almost the opposite of how Trump stands, weirdly sticking his belly button forward so you can’t see how fat he is as easily.
Maybe we should start a new website to solicit donations to unmask the people who ran the previous grift site. Then, when we have a bunch of money, we close up shop and make up some bullshit about how we couldn’t find them. /s
We sacked the grifters who grifted the first grifters
Being maga and getting scammed. Name a better pair.

Pity.
This is glorious, now say it with me folks. Right wingers ALWAYS contradict themselves
I’m gullible, does that mean I get my asshole milked too 🥺
Sorry; the sphincter, itself, must be gullible, to qualify. The rest of the body/person is irrelevant.

This discerning, intelligent sphincter is such a curse.

Theres grifters for everyone. Black Lives Matter, super important thing that happened. Still had grifters abuse it for their own gain. Christ, even Pepsi tried to get in on out, but were called out for basically implying that racist cops could be cured by drinking a fucking pepsi…
And how many companies every year sell pink and rainbow merch, only to pocket most or all of the profits?
Wounded Warrior project. Supposed to be about the wounded vets, instead it was about filling other peoples pockets.
And of course, the cream of the crop, televangelists… “I need a plane!!!”
Remember #metoo? But do you also remember the times up foundation, that was supposedly set up to get victims legal support? Yeah, you guessed it. Nothing but a grift for hollywood types to show how they were the “good ones” while taking money and resources away from actual victims. Never forget the name Roberta Caplan. The chair of the times up board, who was only too happy to help in drafting letters that would discredit Andrew Cuomos accusers. Tina Tchen, the CEO, also helped Cuomo during that time.
No matter what the issue is, no matter which way you lean, there will always, ALWAYS, be someone ready and willing to take your fucking money, and spend on fast cars and loose women.
Skittles a couple years ago: white packaging, “you’re the only rainbow that matters” to queer people
Skittles today: now DEI free
ow many companies every year sell pink
Don’t even get me started on that bullshit. They fund peanuts in research, and a very moderate amount to ‘helping’ people with breast cancer. The ‘goal’ of the organization is literally in the tagline: raise breast cancer awareness. That’s it. The absolutely insane amount of visibility they get (because who cares about the nearly $200 million in money they [currently] bring in, right? Don’t even worry about that amount) is the only point. My mother reached out to them when she found out she had breast cancer, and the best they could do was suggest she pick up the pamphlets at the oncologist’s office.
Wait, what? Breast cancer is a thing now?
Thank goodness for these awareness charities, I was completely unaware! /s
Eh. I’ll defend them on this one. When they started it was a thing not talked about, mammograms were not as known, and there was definitely a stigma around it. At this point though? Yeah, we can move on from just raising awareness.
A charity that raises money for prevention or treatment inherently raises awareness though.
These kinds of “charities” use this “awareness” grey area to avoid being held accountable for actually achieving anything of substance. It’s all just to rake in money and sell people mass produced garbage with their branding on it.
A fool and their money are soon parted
I should seriously just start grifting maga people. It seems really easy.
I wanna make a site that promises the same shit, then let people donate a bunch collect all their info, then accidentally leak everything, showing who these fascist are that donate to shit like this.
Don’t sell the data. Make a site and grift. Shut down that site, create another grifting site and directly contact people who already gave you money. No need to cold call.
This is why one of the most valuable things scammers have are lists of people who have fallen for their scams. Getting out of the business? Sell it. Need more money? Do another run
I mean you could but I doubt anyone would care enough to have any meaningful impact on these peoples lives. Idk maybe I’m wrong.
If the data gets around I bet it could hurt their relationships with family and friends. Yeah, no legal consequences, but probably social ones.
And their businesses if they’re business owners.
Not in this administration, but hopefully the next will lock up the more egregious offenders and this could just be one more nail in their figurative coffin.
Seeing what the democrats have been doing in the past, do you think that’s even realistic to assume they would pursue something like that? I hard doubt they would.
The old school style ones, no. But I’m hoping more and more progressives take up positions within the party, and - along with those older ones dying off - transform it to what it should have been for some time now. To me, the positive attention Mamdani’s been getting across the country shows there’s a good chance for that to happen.
I want to but every idea I have feels too stupid to work.
Something like this has happened like 20 times that im aware of since the whole maga bullshit started. I’m beginning to think no idea is too stupid to work.
The problem comes down to knowing how to speak their language in such a way as to manipulate them. Problem is that for many such actions are vile to no end, or are so against their fundamental cultural, philosophical, or religious tenants so as to be completely repulsive on instinct.
I may be a bastard but I ain’t that type of bastard and I won’t sully my name for for such a pitance.
The beauty of it is, no matter how stupid your idea seems, they are even stupider.
Congrats, you figured out how to be a Republican politician
Yeah, if you have no morals, you can go far in this life as a Republican grifter.
Like those 4patriots over priced survival kits and power stations. Ha ha. What a ripoff.
I’ve been saying for years that with my skillset, I could easily be a millionaire if my pesky ethics didn’t get in the way.
And instead, here I am, every month, deciding cat food is more important than my own food.
Let’s be fair, it’s because you can hear their tiny, insistent voices in your head, slinking their purring opinions along your trail of thought as you weigh the options mid-aisle… Clever li’l devils, and precious idiots, all. 😅🤪
Hey, on the chance you aren’t joking, most food banks I’m familiar with serve everyone, no questions. Well they might ask how many in your household to make sure to give you enough food.
I’m not joking, and thanks.
If Trump can fool them, you can too.
Exactly. He was able to sell them shitty watches and “collectible” JPGs, LOL.
It’s like the '80s all over again, just with grifters learning from Trump.
Not like anyone ever seems to get punished for it
Hell, Bannon got a pardon from that exact crime
I wish I had thought of that
And yet people still dare to say that crypto has no use…
Lol, chefs kiss
A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors.
It’s technically a crime, but somehow I don’t feel sorry for the victims.
