Donations for the legal defense of Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, topped $55,000 Thursday, amid a wave of online support for the suspect that’s shown no signs of cresting.
There is no evidence this is an official donation fund
Yeah, they’re gonna try to wait as long as they possibly can for the trial so people forget about it and lose the sense of solidarity that’s been developed around him.
I never heard of that place before and I hope a lot of people were not too knee-jerk about it. It wasn’t like, “official” in any sense that I could see.
That’s it??
The article is from yesterday, and slightly updated.
It looks like it’s now up to $83k
For how hard fundraising for Luigi has been suppressed, I’m shocked it even got this far at all.
I feel like it could be at $100M overnight with the right advertising…
The trial hasn’t even been scheduled as far as I’m aware. By the time it rolls around that fund is going to be much bigger.
