I'm sure Gofundme will have some legalese buried in their TOS that makes this legit somehow. Canadian courts sure as fuck aren't going to do anything about it.
It doesn’t make it legal according to the fundamental rules and universal shared understanding of contracts (and basic logic) going back to the dawn of civilization, but it DOES make it legal the way modern American law works. Clown law has been the way of the courts for decades now.
California operates under 9th Circuit "law", but in any case, any class action against gofundme for this action would have to be filed in Canada, because that's where the majority of the donors are who just had their money stolen.
GoFundMe says they received word from the Canadian government. Can we see it? Or is it a secret smear of the truckers? Or a threat -- or a promise -- to GoFundMe? Why the secrecy? Are they all in on this together?
GoFundMe says the government claims the truckers are violent, or that it's an occupation. No-one is inside any building; they're all on public property. There has been no violence; in fact police say crime is down in the city.
But even if someone was charged with a crime, how does that justify seizing millions of dollars donated by tens of thousands of people, for the benefit of tens of thousands of people? How is this collective punishment justified, either by Trudeau or GoFundMe?
All donors may submit a request for a full refund until February 19th, 2022[...]
So, that's just good enough? Is that standard for all other 'canceled' funds they've ever had? Hopefully organizers can contact the donors and get them to get their refunds.
Giving an option for a refund gives them an out to refuse a chargeback and to argue that they’re not technically stealing since everyone had a chance to get their money back.
GFM were doing it silently, i.e. you had to somehow find out your money wasn't going where you intended it to go and apply for a refund. That's Hitchiker's Guide level of "giving people a chance". Definitely in bad faith.
Kind of moot now it looks like. GFM were apparently a bit worried by chargebacks and state AGs announcing an investigation. They're now automatically refunding everyone. At least that's what they stated in a tweet.
If I said what I thought should be done with GoFundMe's board of directors in retaliation for the theft of nine million dollars, I'd be called a glowie.
We want to thank @gofundme for listening to our concerns as a City and a police service. The decision to withhold funding for these unlawful demonstrations is an important step and we call on all crowdfunding sites to follow.
Trudeau’s police are doing a victory lap with GoFundMe. They haven’t arrested or charged anyone related to the truckers. No court, no evidence, no hearing. Much easier to secretly smear truckers to Silicon Valley leftists. No need for due process, evidence, or opposing counsel.
It feels a bit like being the guy from the "first time?" meme.
There are still so many people only just now getting their first clue what's up, making the same mistake thousands made before them because everyone who already knew what's up has been so thoroughly silenced from the general public's hearing.
When you go over to “that kid’s” house, don’t be surprised when he takes your ball and tells you to go home while his mom yells at you out the window to get off their property.
The real question is why the FUCK did they use Gofundme in the first place? That shithaven has cancelled literally EVERY non-leftist political fund, even if it was for a black person with the wrong opinions. The Convoy had no chance.
GFM has proven time and time again that they are willing to subvert any movement that strengthens the core values of Anglo-Saxon individuals. Why did anyone think this was going to be any different?
I could be wrong but this sounds like theft, larceny, and racketeering. All of which are prosecutable financial crimes.
I'm sure Gofundme will have some legalese buried in their TOS that makes this legit somehow. Canadian courts sure as fuck aren't going to do anything about it.
If they put that you owed them your first born in their tos and you signed it, it doesn’t make it legal

I believe GFM is headquartered in San Francisco. California operates under US law.

I wonder if they ever order truckloads of ammonium nitrate?
The Donors must immediately initiate Chargeback Claims with their Financial Institutions. Otherwise, their money will be stolen by GoFundMe.
Well, it certainly is wire fraud. And that is one of them that the feds love to prosecute.
update: the deep state has investigated the deep state and found no evidence of theft, larceny or racketeering
Look at who's in power friend, nothing's gonna happen
Well who didn’t see that coming from space?
Seriously, this would have been such a great campaign for the give send go or literally anyone else.
that the fundraiser would be cancelled? everyone saw it coming.
but few expected them to just go ahead and (try to) redistribute the funds to unrelated radical-left organizations. that's unprecedented.

Donors should look into doing a chargeback instead of a refund because that apparently costs GFM hefty fees.
Giving an option for a refund gives them an out to refuse a chargeback and to argue that they’re not technically stealing since everyone had a chance to get their money back.

A private company operating at the behest of government? Do we have a word to describe this?
Corpratism-- the word chosen by Mussolini to describe how Italian Fascism used corporations to advance government interests.
The irony is in the revolutionary left using the same tactic once used against them.

The main woman organizing the convoy works for an Alberta independence party.
If she doesn't know what's what, I don't know what to say.
Darkly disappointing proposal I hadn't thought of.
Ah yes. This won’t piss people off even further. Are they just planning to antagonise people until they give up? Odd strategy...
I think they do want to demoralize people and give them a sense of hopelessness and powerlessness.
And millions more normies are awoken to the level of rot, and are now more ready to do what needs to be done
To clarify - GoFundMe will donate the funds to charities that the CONVOY organizers specify (pursuant to GoFundMe approving it)

Which still sucks - but at least they're not diverting the funds to BLM.
How about the charity dedicated to GFM swallowing fat dick?
Which charities do you think will be established charities verified by GoFundMe"?
"Well we only had to verify 3 charities - blm, spl, and canadanian feminists". Tehehe , it's your choice which one to go with!
They should donate it all to their local soup kitchen, then just go eat there
That should open up a plethora of lawsuits. This is what crypto was meant for though
no worry this was seen coming from a mile far.

Elites in a frenzy
Civil disobedience was de rigueur with the chattering class, until working class people tried it. Now they're a delusional mob.
Not so long ago they were just a fringe minority; bored journalists even upped them to insurrectionists.
Personally I'd stop fanning the flame.

The Turd Eau (Scheisswasser) regime is escalating the situation. Kudos to the truckers for not taking the bait. This latest crime is fucking enraging.
I look forward to the fallout. A good shyster will milk these motherfuckers dry.
Oh, Peter Thiel, they're calling for you!
There are a few, but the organizers haven't verified any of them yet, so do your due diligence. https://www.givesendgo.com/FreedomConvoy2022
