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.
Unironically wish I had thought about this first. I could use an extra $30k.
Is it too late to do it again? Just asking for a friend
Are you really asking if you can run the same grift on the “fell for it, again” crowd a second time?
Someone is surprised? It’s a grift. It’s always a grift.
The donors are not actually infuriated. They knew that the site was run by scum … All of Kirk’s retrospective supporters are big fat liars … but still the donors are hoping to get some sympathy, hoping you’ll forget that they don’t have an ounce of empathy.
Genius.i applaud these guys.
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.

And yet people still dare to say that crypto has no use…
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.
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.

It’s technically a crime, but somehow I don’t feel sorry for the victims.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. 😅🤪
If Trump can fool them, you can too.
It’s like the '80s all over again, just with grifters learning from Trump.
Exactly. He was able to sell them shitty watches and “collectible” JPGs, LOL.
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.
A fool and their money are soon parted
This is an outrage, and shady as fuck, and these scammers need to be hunted down to face justice.
If you’re a MAGA faithful who has been ripped off by these charlatans, I have some sophisticated tracking software that uses quantum AI to uncover scam tracks. Just send me a private message with your credit card number, expiry date, and the three numbers on the back, and I will take care of things.
Had me in the first half
Send me a DM with your banking info, and I’ll subscribe you to my Never Get Had in the First Half cyber protection service.
Which is also quantum.
Is it modern?
Oh well if it’s very smol
Why is it also a soda? Like I ain’t complaining but naming something quantum is like naming it baja blast.
Weird roleplay aside baja blast is 100 percent IRL nuka cola quantum.
DO NOT REDEEM!!!
I wish I had thought of that.
Right? I hope they were lefties.
I wish I had thought of that
This was probably run by one of the dumb tRump sons. My money would be on Baron, as the other two are probably not smart enough.
It’s ok, Baron has his whole life ahead of him to prove he’s dumb. lol
