Crowd funding gone wild

So the random Joe who earlier today opened a crow-funding campaign to "help Patriots pay the $1M bill" (with $12.5K collected within a day!) now have also started "Help rebuild Nepal" campaign too... he/she is clearly winning the prize of the most blatant internet rip-off of the century award.

How is this a scam? If people are stupid enough to donate, they deserve what they get. I'm not usually one to go quoting proverbs, but this one seems apt...

"A fool and his money are soon parted".

Well, I certainly hear you and I'm baffled at the amount donated so far. Although one has to draw the line at some point, else by this logic most if not all scams can be justified and blame put squarely on people for "not doing their homework" which is not very fair, I think.

...Well, I think it's time for the "Fund My Solid Gold Car" kickstarter...

I'm gonna start a crowdfund program to help me "replace my stolen CD collection"...

Only people here in New England - think Tom is innocent -
then - fans ( fanatics ) start beating their chest -
while all USA is saying - guilty - Tom Shady -

So they want poor people to pay for the mistakes/bad behaviour of rich people?

Why not, we've all been doing that already since 2008
