GoFundMe testimony payments (unethical)
Now we all know that Christine Ford has a GoFundMe account that's over $627,000, with a separate GoFundMe account for her for security for another $200,000. Both accounts were set up before she even testified.
Personally I don't think this is ethical. It's a breeding ground for false accusations. And I think it will send a lot of innocent people to jail just so somebody can you get rich quick...
Now this go fund me account for testimonies is a new Twist on old activity slipping money to an accuser by taking a manila envelope wrapped up in a newspaper left on a park bench for the accuser to pick up later...
The problem with this is that iy has actually come out from a covert operation to a public operation that has always been illegal. And I think it's highly unethical whether it is done the old way by secretly passing the money to the Accuser, or publicly doing it through a GoFundMe account.
I think the Supreme Court should fix be this PDQQ and make it also illegal to set up a GoFundMe account for accusations. What do you guys think?

Just think what the GFM people are making:
GoFundMe is a for-profit company. It takes 5 percent of donations raised on its platform. There is also a 2.9 percent payment-processing fee collected on each donation, along with 30 cents for every donation. That means if a campaign raised $1,000 through 10 donations of $100 each, GoFundMe would collect about $82.
I personally think the funds should also me taxed at the capital gains rate by the Feds.
Ford and stormy both have made some serious coin on these sites. I am hoping Trumpys lawyers go after the money or at least tie it up in court.0
