Luigi Mangione defense fund raises more than $55,000 in donations
Donations for the legal defense of Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, topped $55,000 Thursday, amid a wave of online support for the suspect that’s shown no signs of cresting.
There is no evidence this is an official donation fund
As per this reddit post, just FYI:
His full name is registered with the state of PA as: LUIGI MANGIONE.
Inmate Number QQ7787.
Currently at SCI Huntingdon (yes HUNTINGDON)
Address for mail: LUIGI MANGIONE, QQ7787, SCI Huntingdon, PO Box 33028, St Petersburg, FL, 33733
All mail is scanned by a third-party and then a copy is provided to them, so don’t even think about sending something “extra”.
To send money (everyone needs money in jail, even $10 goes a long way) you have to go through JPay. And again, need to use his name, LUIGI MANGIONE, and inmate number QQ7787
DOB is 05/06/1998
If anyone that’s done time recently in PA sees something is missing in this info, please leave a comment.
It is really weird that it's a florida address for a PA prison.
That's the address on the PA DOC website. https://www.pa.gov/agencies/cor/state-prisons/sci-huntingdon.html . Makes sense, since all the mail is scanned and probably printed out for him. It's much harder to smuggle anything in that way.
It is weird, but that's the "third party company" that scans the mail and sends a copy.
I'm not certain his PA jail funds will transfer to NY if/when he gets extradited. I know there was an issue with transferring my brother's commissary funds when he moved jails, and that was within the same state.
May sixth or June fifth?
This is presumably in 'Murican units, so May sixth.
The thing holding back these donation funds is verification that they're actually for Mangione's defense. "The December 4th Legal Committee" could just be a scam.
Yeah, I'm holding off on donations until his public defender gives an official place to donate.
I've never heard of "GiveSendGo", and who is
d4legalcomm@gmail.com(the email address listed on the GiveSendGo page)? The fact that it's some random Gmail is kinda sketchy. Are we sure this is legit?Wikipedia explains who they are very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveSendGo
GiveSendGo is a Christian crowdfunding website.[5] GiveSendGo has attracted controversy for allowing far-right extremists to fundraise, including neo-Nazis, white supremacists and hate groups.[15]
They have also had multiple security breaches.
No. In an interview the attorney seemed to not be interested in accepting donations.
So, $130M donated to Trump's legal defense fund. $55K to Luigi's.
It's sitting just under $90k last I checked.
Still horseshit as you're pointing out though.
I'm pretty sure the lawyer said he wasn't interested in accepting donations. I'd be wary of scams. Just be careful.
Just FYI give send go is a Christian fund raising site that supports January 6th rioters, and it sounds like they are going to use the donation money for other cases. I disputed the charge on my card and got it refunded after I learned that
let's get another two or three adjustments going while he's locked up
I'll donate to his cause!
Just be careful of this particular one, it isn't an official one.
Yep, just waiting on a official announcement.
With as advertised as this one is, it would be very difficult for someone to just run away with that money. If there ever is an official one I’m sure the funds would be transferred. But of course we will find out
On what platform?
Edit: its some site called GiveSendGo
Lock him up and throw away the key. And, f yo downvotes.
I have been called a bootlicker for saying I think he probably killed Thompson. This is what actual bootlicking looks like
