Monday, April 29, 2024, resulted in perhaps the most surprising result since we first started tracking GoFundMe campaigns earlier this month as Garrett “Press with Rancor” Van Nett’s GoFundMe roared into the lead of daily donations.
Earning $20.00 for the day, Van Nett’s campaign was the only auditor related campaign that we follow to actually receive donations on Monday. Beating the likes of multiple campaigns of SeanPaul “Long Island Audit” Reyes and Jose “Chille” DeCastro hands down and calling into question our belief that after weeks of stagnation, his campaign may be dead.
Van Nett, of course, is struggling to fund a campaign in order to keep his legal representation against a simple interference charge in Michigan. Jose “Chille” DeCastro had entered into an agreement to pay for Van Nett’s legal representation, entering into a contract to pay $6,000.00 a month in legal fees until the $48,000.00 goal was reached.
DeCastro has apparently ended that agreement as a statement by his representatives in both his livestreams and on his community page stated that all of his GoFundMe funding, including on the page dedicated to helping other auditors, would go directly to funding DeCastro’s own legal needs until further notice.
Strangely, only our anemic ReallyCoolNews On-Going expenses campaign at https://gofund.me/b8144e31 (hey, we gotta eat too!), saw donations as an undisclosed and much appreciated donation came in to put us in second place for the day.
We will continue to monitor these developments and update our findings in tomorrow’s report.
