Chad's GoFundMe Special Raises Suspicions Over Offline Donations
Commentators question whether Chad's GoFundMe offline donations are legitimate, noting he keeps raising the goal from $8,300 to $14,000.
The panel discussed Chad's GoFundMe campaign for his comedy special, raising concerns about the legitimacy of "offline donations" listed on the page. One commentator noted that with offline donations, the money doesn't actually go into the GoFundMe — Chad simply says it happened. "He could put it down that way without receiving the money and put the money in himself if he wanted to. Anything could be happening." Concerns were raised about Chad's character given past accusations from law enforcement and prosecutors. As the goal kept climbing — from $8,300 to $10,000 to $14,000 — one panelist asked: "Is he just collecting more and more money for himself or is there special ever made?" Another joked that the higher the fundraising total, the higher the quality expectation: "The more money he raises, the higher quality we expect from this product." Suggestions included doing the special on a boat, referencing Earl Skakel's attempt to film a special in his living room. One panelist quipped that if Chad is who people accuse him of being, he might get arrested at the special — "Be better than doing the jokes."
