Charlie Kirk website exposing his critics took donations then disappeared

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/charlie-kirk-donations-critics-fraud-b2851182.html

A website that promised to unmask critics of conservative activist Charlie Kirk took tens of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency donations before going offline, according to a report.

The site “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” was launched hours after Kirk’s assassination on September 10 and pledged to name and shame those who spoke out against him to pursue “the largest firing operation in history.”

It asked supporters to contribute toward “a highly sophisticated enterprise system that will be impervious to Leftist attacks,” and directed them to cryptocurrency blockchains, the technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, according to Drop Site.

The website’s anonymous developers raised more than $30,000 from supporters between September 12 and 14, according to the outlet.

Now the domain www.charliesmurderers.com has gone dark.

I love this!

I have absolutely no problem with fleecing conservative cunts

Before it went offline, the website featured a list of names, including people’s email addresses and social media handles, who criticized Kirk online.

One of the names on the website included Erin Gudge, who resigned from her role as the board chair of the Philomath School District in Oregon after the controversy.

Workers across the country were removed from their jobs or faced sanctions for praising or celebrating Kirk’s assassination.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the Pentagon was “tracking closely” any civilian and military employees who celebrated the murder.

I seriously wouldn't put it past the Trump administration to be the ones behind this, especially given their shift towards embracing everything crypto, and amping people up about this narrative at every chance?

Maybe this is where the "anonymous donation" came from, that they're using to pay the military.

The website only made ~$30,000

A small step for a man, a giant step for griftkind

I can't help but wonder if that "anonymous donation" has anything to with with the world's "most lethal combat platform", along with it's strike group, being ordered from Europe to the Caribbean to play drug cop as ~~Russia~~ Putin steps up ~~their~~ his attacks against Ukraine...

The problem is, it's likely enriching different conservative cunts, who have more power and influence to begin with.

Charlie Kirk would have wanted it this way

Possibly the only conservative to have stood for what they believe in.

My buddy in rural New York got junk mail addressed from Erika Kirk today, trying to milk her husband's death to stir up violent fervor through the postal system. Fascists are fucking pathetic.

You can't blame her, his wishing for grifting and violence was his last act before dying...along with the turning into a human fountain thing, and saying "wurglegurbllllle".

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 8 pts · 326d

His last act was leaning left.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today · 16 pts · 326d

I hope whoever did it was a Liberal, separating the MAGA Morons from their money, but it was probably another MAGA. They have no problem ripping off each other.

breezeblock@lemmy.ca · 15 pts · 326d

It’s grift, all the way down.

FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 326d

Fool, money, yada yada

Wish I’d thought of it when he decided to lean left, those idiots buy cases of beer just to shoot as a tantrum, then another case to drink

Archangel1313@lemmy.ca · 12 pts · 326d

The grift just keeps in gifting. Even from beyond the grave.

resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 326d

Say what you will about Charlie Kirk, but he was proven wrong.

CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 326d

Gosh, that's just terrible.

The only issue I have with this, is the lack of commas in this headline.

If we sprinkle them, liberally, it will make up, for it.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 2 pts · 326d

right wingers fall for scams quite easily, due to amount of propaganda they recieved, never believe with your eyes and ears, it extends int MLMS, CRYPTO.

Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 6 pts · 326d

just like the truckers in canada, where a "tamara Lich" TOOK thier money and ran.

Manjushri@piefed.social · 5 pts · 326d

I wonder if the site is down because they're being sued.

Who would have thought that a movement with a con man as a leader might live of fraud and embezzlement.
