Who didn’t see this coming?
If I open a GoFundMe page for the guy next door to raise money to deal with some kind of distress he's facing, who has the legal right to collect and distribute the money?
The biggest problem the plaintiff in this case may face is that he may have no standing to even file the lawsuit if someone else set up the GoFundMe page. And if they used it to collect $400,000 under phony pretenses, then it's the DONORS, not the phony "recipient," who probably have a stronger case against the perpetrators.
