So we crowdfunding his legal aid or what?
The owners are trying to stop us from being able to.
GoFundMe, a for profit organization, took down an attempt to raise money for him.
He allegedly killed a low level owner, after all! Not some poorie livestock!
Raise all the money for poories you like though. Use GoFundMe, a percentage of your charitable transaction will go to their glorious private shareholders!
(don't use GoFundMe anymore)
Surely there has got to be an alternative
Is he repped yet? If not and anyone knows how to get in touch with his people please contact me. I have a line on a few free attorneys that take cases of this magnitude.
That's almost certainly going to be the only pathway forward. If his PD is worth anything (almost certainly not), they will fully utilize the public support for Luigi and hire the best legal defense team money can buy.
Honestly as much as I dislike crypto, this is the one time where it could actually come in clutch. Big corporates can't stop people from wiring bitcoin to an address.
I've always said crypto isn't completely useless, it should just be what it was always meant to be and no more:
A currency to buy drugs anonymously on the darknet.
Could have just stopped at OG bitcoin for that. All the rest is idiocy. It's good for that niche, and nothing else.
True, but how would you organise that? There are plenty of scummy crypo-bros who would be more than willing to use this to line their wallet.
We would need his defense team or family to confirm that the receiving address is correct.
We need to set up a crypto wallet or a super PAC for him.
Counterpoint: how would you ensure each go fund me actually goes to this guy's defense and not some random scammer? Apparently his family is wealthy. I'm assuming all those go fund me pages are "unofficial" and not associated with him.
Is "legal aid" the codename for the field-expedient MRAPs we build and man to spring him from prison? If so then yes.
Isn't his family super wealthy? They're probably taking care of that
