    So let me get this right. The site has been removing pages that are raising money for Luigi’s legal expenses, but keep the page up raising money for the man that has killed innocent people including children? I’m sure his wife has enough money to pay for his funeral…

    His family is going to take over all the lawsuits from Brian Thompson’s insider trading. Think of his poor family.

    Imagine if the FTC had done their job and put Brian in jail. He could have been alive today.

      Literally my first thought.

      His family doesn’t need or deserve support. This guy has life insurance. Maybe he didn’t have prior authorization to die, but I’m sure they’re posting it anyway and they will be supported in the way he intended.

      Why should anyone give them money? They definitely got more than we do. They should be organizing a donation drive right now to give away the excess instead of taking any.

    Like Thompson’s salary, bonuses, stock dividends, and life insurance payout isn’t enough … :/

          I’ve been afraid to say precisely this.

          I could see rich people wanting to bag and tag anyone as quickly as possible to deter further comeuppance.

        What makes you think this fundraiser was started by anyone having anything to do with Thompson or his family? When events like this happen, scammers come out of the woodwork and make fake fundraisers and then pocket the money. Happened during Black Lives Matter, too.

          You’re right, anyone coule have started it but I don’t believe that’s his point. I think he’s talking about the fact that the fundraiser for a billionaire is allowed by the website while the one for the guy who allegedly took him out is not.

          Ps: I’m not arguing for or against anything, just clarifying a detail about the comment you seem to have misunderstood.

      Right?! They don’t need a GoFundMe when just his salary is 3-5 times as much in a single year as I’ll make in my lifetime. And he’s been making that for years.

          Literally ALWAYS look at the community name when browsing “everything”.

            Maybe it’s just not as prominent in the app I use? (Eternity)

            When I used Boost for reddit, I remember always being aware what sub I was looking at…

              I’ve just had a few incidents of looking dumb because I didn’t know about the community (and earlier on that other site) name or context. I’m just passing on advice I’ve learned the hard way myself, lol.
