A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors.

The site, Expose Charlie’s Murderers, launched hours after the assassination of the right-wing influencer, 31, in September. It promised a searchable trove of names and workplaces for “the largest firing operation in history,” according to Drop Site’s review of the now-offline project.

The site listed six crypto wallets and raised more than $30,000 between Sept. 12 and 14 before repeatedly going dark, resurfacing as the “Charlie Kirk Data Foundation,” and disappearing again, Drop Site reported.

        The problem comes down to knowing how to speak their language in such a way as to manipulate them. Problem is that for many such actions are vile to no end, or are so against their fundamental cultural, philosophical, or religious tenants so as to be completely repulsive on instinct.

        I may be a bastard but I ain’t that type of bastard and I won’t sully my name for for such a pitance.
