This is putting blind faith in he said/she said.

I've donated to a lot of gofundme's in the past, but the causes were a lot more cut and dry and was based on a lot more substantiated fact than this is. Donating to this without all of the facts could actually create more harm than good. This isn't exactly "Help a guy who broke his neck in a beer league game." or something.

I'm sorry to come across so cynical. But if you are holding your hand out for a VERY substantial donation, you have to provide every fact available.
Took the words right out of my mouth. It would be impossible for me to donate with a clear conscious knowing I could possibly be screwing over a totally innocent man.
