For me the big tip off, was how sad and pathetic the pictures in the go fund me's were. Here is a picture of me in a hospital bed. Here's a picture of my legs wrapped in bandages sitting on a little rascal.... etc. They seemed so staged, to garner maximum effect. Now we find out his horribly painful, damaged, legs, are so good in such a short period of time, they are covered in veins.... And it was the leg surgery I believe I donated to.
I personally felt like I was taken for a ride, and just said live and learn on the first one. Then when the homeless thread came up, I was going to make a public post about this and the other gofundme's, but everyone was jumping in to help, and I didn't want to be 'that guy'. I did text a couple members I know personally, but just didn't have the balls to call him out publicly in fear of the backlash.
In a way, the fact that MMF doesn't give a FF what anyone thinks, is good in this scenario. He had the balls to call a spade a spade.
