It appears they've reversed the decision to engage in criminal embezzlement and instead refund all payments to the Trucker convoy without need of a request.
Update (0725ET): After the radical leftists in San Francisco who operate GoFundMe seized millions of dollars from the Canadian "Freedom Convoy" and vowed to refund donations to donors (upon request) or disburse the funds to "credible charities" (like Black Lives Matter, Greenpeace, and Planned Parenthood Matter), the internet went absolutely mental Friday night about the crowd-sourcing platform's decision.
Rebel News' Ezra Levant equated GoFundMe's decision as "stealing the money." He said the crowd-sourcing platform should have "automatically refunded its donors."
Hours later, around 0200 ET Saturday, GoFundMe released another statement that said, "due to donor feedback, we are simplifying the process and automatically refunding donations."
The audacity that leftists at GoFundMe thought they could redistribute the money elsewhere is shocking. It is a wake-up call for freedom-loving people who band together to take their funding operations elsewhere (ever hear of BTC or ETH?). GoFundMe's poor judgment to only now automatically refund donors has shown their true liberal colors (this blunder has sparked a trust issue with the platform).
Sure as shit they were testing the water to see if they can get away with a massive fraud under the current Democrat lawlessness, but got cold feet. The FBI should be rounding them up on conspiracy to defraud charges.
Nothing will come of it except that next time, they'll do it and nothing will come of that either.
Jesus, this country is sucking shit in Hell.
(Edit) Anyone who donated has had their personal info forwarded to the FBI, no doubt.

Nothing is beneath those who think they serve "the iron laws of history."
For these marxian menials not a thing is illegal or immoral when it suits because there exists a little apocalyptic vision that has burned out the moral fuses in their brains.
It's hell to have to share a world with them, but there you are.

They were gonna give it to charities of their own choosing. It hasn't been 24 hours since operation charge back began and GoFundMe has quickly changed their tune and let everyone know that they will automatically be sending everyone back their money and that it should take seven to ten business days.
Guess the idea of 15 dollars times ten million scared them.
Either way they'll never recover from their cowardly betrayal. Money for blm rioters was ok and peaceful truckers bad.
Defund go fund me

Update (1056ET): Conservatives are livid after GoFundMe caved to the Canadian government and canceled a massive donation campaign that had reached C$10 million (US$7.9m).
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) tweeted: "It is a fraud for @gofundme to commandeer $9M in donations sent to support truckers and give it to causes of their own choosing," adding "I will work with @AGAshleyMoody to investigate these deceptive practices — these donors should be given a refund."
Rep Jim. Jordan (R-OH) pointed out that "GoFundMe promoted the ANTIFA- occupied CHOP zone in Seattle, But they shut down fundraisers for truckers protesting #COVID mandates."
Benny Johnson captured the prevailing sentiment on Saturday, tweeting that the "Go Fund Me story was my breaking point. Blood boiling. FUCK GO FUND ME. Put them in prison. Authoritarian boot-licking thieving scum. Not another dollar to them - EVER."
Others were similarly outraged.
GoFundMe's Trustpilot rating page was just suspended after people began to bombard it with negative reviews.
Meanwhile, a GiveSendGo campaign for the Freedom Convoy reached $1.1 million in donations overnight, however the platform is currently inaccessible and has said it's under DDOS attack.

When I lived in Illinois, some Mexican put his fist thru the double strength glass in my bedroom window and got into my apartment. He cut himself up and left blood stains.
So they took a sample of my blood to make sure the blood was not mine. I have Type B which is relatively rare. No chance in hell a Mexican would have Type B blood.
He left clear fingerprints on the glass. The cops were saying. "We're going to slam dunk this guy."
The ammo safe was in the closet. I can just imagine when he opened the closet door and saw it. I'll bet he said, "Carumba!"
He stole an obsolete .410 shotgun and took a duffel bag that was in the closet. The duffel bag had some guy's name on it and the cops were asking if I knew who that was. I said, "How should I know. I bought it at a garage sale. There must be millions of these things out there." ;)
