Pondering on it now. Need some well worded blurb that's simple and concise so that people can understand it and don't get bored while reading it that gets the enormity of what he and people like him have done.
Gofundme should have something in their software that automatically shuts off an account from receiving any further donations once their specified target is reached. If something like that has been in place for Faulty's fund he'd have gotten away with £5.4k less than he did. That's a hell of a lot of £5 and £10 donations he wouldn't have been able to pocket.
They won’t do that cause they take around 15% of funds raised, that’s how places like GFM and Just Giving make their coin.
The person who set up the fund should have been a bit smarter about it and put the money into some sort of trust for him rather than just gifting him the money.
GFM should be explaining things like trusts and ways to give money to people so they don’t piss it up the wall.
I think from a government petition side of things it’d struggle to meet their criteria as there’s a limit to how much of a description you can put in and it can’t be specifically targeting an individual.
There are other petition sites I think would host it though?
