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.
You don’t know anything about his family. They could be upstanding people just in a bad marriage/relationship. The daughter might grow up to be a smart college grad going on to do great things
They're not. Also, his mother is dead.
You don't need millions of dollars to do that- for people who have never had money, a windfall like that, usually ends up poorly. The numbers aren't in their favor. As an aside, they will basically have to dedicate a large portion of their time to BLM causes and other bullshit. You don't get MSM backing and money like that for "free." Mo money. Mo problems.
