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 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.
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.
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
Like those 4patriots over priced survival kits and power stations. Ha ha. What a ripoff.
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.
