Luigi's Donors Want Their Money Back
Multiple donors who contributed a total of $7,000 to a GiveSendGo fundraiser setup by The December 4th Legal Committee for Luigi's legal fees have asked for their money back as the suspect in the deadly shooting of UH CEO BT continues his legal fight.
Over 8,000 people have donated more than $223,800 toward the GiveSendGo fundraiser created for Luigi with a goal of $500,000.
That's a lot of money!
Concerning quote from The December 4th Legal Committee:
"As for the refunded donations, when a donor requests a refund we will manually review their donation, alongside the reason for the refund request. If their request is deemed to be within reason, we will refund the donation to avoid a dispute."
Notes and additional research:
The December 4th Legal Committee is an informal temporary group formed for the specific purpose of "raising money for legal fees" for Luigi.
Stone Harbor's Borough Council has several standing committees. The December 4th Legal Committee is NOT one of them.
Concerns have been raised about the legitimacy of this group, as their members are unidentified, and the allocation of the funds is unclear. Notably, GoFundMe has removed similar fundraisers for Luigi, citing policy violations, while platforms like GiveSendGo have allowed them to continue.
Given these uncertainties, it's advisable to exercise caution when considering donations to such fundraisers.
