Remember that couple who raised money for the $20 homeless guy?
 

Well, they blew most of it on themselves. Gave him only $75k.

Going to have to dig up that thread. I remember getting scalded for saying they would do exactly this..

How can one live with themselves after doing something like that? And doing it in the public's eye just show how much heinous they are..smh

I'm not entirely sure how anyone could take $20 from a homeless guy.

Regardless of how "desperate" they are.

article says gofundme charged $30k (from $402k) - that's 7.46%... surely they don't take that much? :helpme

Scum bag lawyers are involved now. The lawyers will steal whatever is left over.

He didn't give her $20. He mysteriously carries around a 5 gallon jerry can and went to retrieve $20 worth of gas and brought it back to her car. The whole story smelled of bullshit from the beginning.

sad, but I think you are on the money :2 cents:

If he got seventy five dimes as a result of an effort someone else had made on his behalf, that's not nothing. Jesus on the moon, man. That's SERIOUS AZZ MONEY when you're street garbage!
"Buying him things" and controlling everything and making him live on property makes my neck stand on it's spider hair. Perhaps they WERE concerned about his problem. I can see keeping some if it's just going to be thrown away on dope.
ONE THING I'VE LEARNED IS, NEVER HESITATE TO ACCEPT A PORTION OF ANY GOOD YOU GENERATE.
I would have told him upfront that if the campaign brings in a lot of money you can have XX%. That simple. Probably 70 him 30 me. If I put work and time into driving traffic maybe less him.

If I didn't need the money, it's ALL him, no problem. I'd be glad to do it in that instance.

There's NOTHING WRONG with being rewarded (instead of being punished) for helping people. If more people knew that, maybe anyone would care about someone at all a little more these days ever!

There's a lot wrong with being shiftless and beedy eyed, though. For SURE. What a couple of mouthy and evasive characters these two are.. and they're stupid
With the visibility this has, those clowns will probably be charged with something. Who the hell knows. Theft by deception, some kind of charity laws, maybe even the feds pick this up.
Wouldn't THAT be a something.
:O They do not play around when you piss them off. 95% conviction rate and you do 85% at best :O
