Chad Accused of Running Grift With Endlessly Expanding GoFundMe
Commentators blast Chad as a 'kleptomaniac' and 'thief' who cried on his podcast after hitting $8,000 on a crowdfunding campaign, then quietly raised the goal to keep the money flowing.
A heated discussion on the podcast centered on Chad's character, with one host calling him 'greedy,' 'selfish,' and a 'thief' who 'doesn't have any empathy or morality as far as other people are concerned.' Another host labeled him a 'kleptomaniac' and a 'shady degenerate.' The conversation turned to a GoFundMe campaign Chad ran, where he reportedly cried on his podcast upon hitting an $8,000 milestone — a moment the hosts found embarrassing and telling. 'That just shows that what he cares about in this world is money,' one host said. The hosts also criticized Chad for repeatedly raising the GoFundMe goal after initially claiming he had carefully calculated how much he needed. 'He said once that was hit, how the hell can I just shut this down? I need to keep this going,' one host recounted. They speculated that every additional dollar raised was 'a potential new TV or pair of sneakers' for Chad, noting he has previously claimed to have $75,000 in the bank. The segment drew a comparison to Jeff Dye, who allegedly ran a similar GoFundMe scheme to move to Austin.
