There was fine print in donating to this. It was actually a lefty who pointed it out to me back in November or so; claimed Trump was cheating us all out of our money for his personal gain and we were falling for it. I never donated but did look to see what he was talking about. I can't personally remember the specific fine print on it, but here's an article that was written 11/11/20.
Most Trump donors giving to the “Stop the Steal” fund are having their money redirected to the GOP or his personal PAC:
"The “Stop the Steal” fund is only keeping amounts over $8,000, which are the vast minority of donations. Donations over that amount have the first $8,000 going to the GOP and the PAC. According to the fine print, the first $5,000 goes to the PAC and up to $3,600 would to the GOP. Donations to the so-called “recount account” is legally limited to $2,800 per person. The bottom line: most of the money donated to “Stop the Steal” won’t go to lawsuits or efforts to support a recount."
So it appears now that the lefty was wrong in that it wasn't Trump personally who was taking our money for his own purposes. (I knew better than to believe that.) But he was right in that it wasn't going where most people assumed that it was.
