So hypothetically how “in trouble” could one get for setting up a go fund me like this and never giving the guy the money? I could use a few bucks even though I’m not internet famous, and I mean I know scamming is bad but this seems like decent target selection…
It depends on the terms of the service - you would want to check carefully to see what your actual funding requirements are, however most sites are extremely lenient and scams are rampant. Delaying until people simply forget is a common and effective strategy. However again, given the highly political nature of events like this, you would run a high risk of a lawsuit and may be investigated for wire fraud if you are not careful about your terms.

Just make your whole life centered around being conservative and you’ll just be pardoned
Thanks for a real answer! I’m half kidding about considering it lol.
Just put it in the fine print and let it check a lawyer. I’m pretty sure you can craft it in a way that is legally safe…
that sounds tempting
