The GoFundMe shit is kind of gross to begin with, but if people want to piss their money away, that's fine. It's just really odd that they initially wanted $1.5 million to bury a guy who probably had negative assets- it wasn't like his death prevented him from taking care of his kids. His death is the ONLY reason they will be taken care of.
Here is what the money is supposedly going to:
**The “Official George Floyd Memorial Fund” was set up on May 27 by Floyd’s brother Philonise and had sought to raise $1.5 million.
The money will be used for funeral, burial, travel and grief counseling expenses related to George’s Memorial Day death under the knee of a Minneapolis police officer, the site said.
Remaining funds will go to the Floyd estate to care for and educate his children, the site said.** (source: The NY Post)
So now his kid's and by extension, his baby mama's are multimillionaires? Seems legit. What kind of fuckery is going on here? I'm positive that the money is going to totally fuck the family up and someone will be arrested in a year or two for fucking up their fiduciary responsibility, but in the meantime, it's going to be interesting to see how they piss it away.
Sounds like a great deal to me. Give up a drug addict, criminal, counterfeiter for the Hamptons. That said, like any other lottery winner, they will probably piss away the money within 3 years.
Dude turned his fake $20 note into $14 million worth of real notes, I'd say getting a knee to the neck has some serious return on investments!
Pretty much. The tales of lottery winners are insane--
Michael Carroll has to be one of the more interesting cases. The last I heard, he is now a garbage collector.
