A website that promised to unmask critics of conservative activist Charlie Kirk took tens of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency donations before going offline, according to a report.

The site “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” was launched hours after Kirk’s assassination on September 10 and pledged to name and shame those who spoke out against him to pursue “the largest firing operation in history.”

It asked supporters to contribute toward “a highly sophisticated enterprise system that will be impervious to Leftist attacks,” and directed them to cryptocurrency blockchains, the technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, according to Drop Site.

The website’s anonymous developers raised more than $30,000 from supporters between September 12 and 14, according to the outlet.

Now the domain www.charliesmurderers.com has gone dark.

Charlie Kirk would have wanted it this way

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Possibly the only conservative to have stood for what they believe in.

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

My buddy in rural New York got junk mail addressed from Erika Kirk today, trying to milk her husband's death to stir up violent fervor through the postal system. Fascists are fucking pathetic.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can't blame her, his wishing for grifting and violence was his last act before dying...along with the turning into a human fountain thing, and saying "wurglegurbllllle".

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 1 week ago

His last act was leaning left.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 1 week ago

I hope whoever did it was a Liberal, separating the MAGA Morons from their money, but it was probably another MAGA. They have no problem ripping off each other.

[–] breezeblock@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 week ago

It’s grift, all the way down.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago

The grift just keeps in gifting. Even from beyond the grave.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Fool, money, yada yada

Wish I’d thought of it when he decided to lean left, those idiots buy cases of beer just to shoot as a tantrum, then another case to drink

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Gosh, that's just terrible.

collapsed inline media

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Say what you will about Charlie Kirk, but he was proven wrong.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The only issue I have with this, is the lack of commas in this headline.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

If we sprinkle them, liberally, it will make up, for it.

Who let William Shatner in here?

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

And right wingers will learn nothing but grifters learned everything

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

right wingers fall for scams quite easily, due to amount of propaganda they recieved, never believe with your eyes and ears, it extends int MLMS, CRYPTO.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

just like the truckers in canada, where a "tamara Lich" TOOK thier money and ran.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 5 points 1 week ago

I wonder if the site is down because they're being sued.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

OF FUCKING COURSE IT DID.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Who would have thought that a movement with a con man as a leader might live of fraud and embezzlement.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago

Rug-pulling the rug-pullers. Well done.
