A website that promised to unmask critics of conservative activist Charlie Kirk took tens of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency donations before going offline, according to a report.

The site “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” was launched hours after Kirk’s assassination on September 10 and pledged to name and shame those who spoke out against him to pursue “the largest firing operation in history.”

It asked supporters to contribute toward “a highly sophisticated enterprise system that will be impervious to Leftist attacks,” and directed them to cryptocurrency blockchains, the technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, according to Drop Site.

The website’s anonymous developers raised more than $30,000 from supporters between September 12 and 14, according to the outlet.

Now the domain www.charliesmurderers.com has gone dark.

I love this!

I have absolutely no problem with fleecing conservative cunts

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 56 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Before it went offline, the website featured a list of names, including people’s email addresses and social media handles, who criticized Kirk online.

One of the names on the website included Erin Gudge, who resigned from her role as the board chair of the Philomath School District in Oregon after the controversy.

Workers across the country were removed from their jobs or faced sanctions for praising or celebrating Kirk’s assassination.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the Pentagon was “tracking closely” any civilian and military employees who celebrated the murder.

I seriously wouldn't put it past the Trump administration to be the ones behind this, especially given their shift towards embracing everything crypto, and amping people up about this narrative at every chance?

Maybe this is where the "anonymous donation" came from, that they're using to pay the military.

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The website only made ~$30,000

[–] 100_kg_90_de_belin@feddit.it 3 points 4 weeks ago

A small step for a man, a giant step for griftkind

[–] AniZaeger@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I can't help but wonder if that "anonymous donation" has anything to with with the world's "most lethal combat platform", along with it's strike group, being ordered from Europe to the Caribbean to play drug cop as ~~Russia~~ Putin steps up ~~their~~ his attacks against Ukraine...

[–] Bassman1805@lemmy.world 15 points 4 weeks ago

The problem is, it's likely enriching different conservative cunts, who have more power and influence to begin with.

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 62 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Charlie Kirk would have wanted it this way

[–] JamieDub86@piefed.social 16 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Possibly the only conservative to have stood for what they believe in.

[–] TomArrr@lemmy.world 9 points 4 weeks ago

He kinda fell for it

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Without any gun reforms? You betcha!

Undefeated world champs

Why would Biden do this?!??

My buddy in rural New York got junk mail addressed from Erika Kirk today, trying to milk her husband's death to stir up violent fervor through the postal system. Fascists are fucking pathetic.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You can't blame her, his wishing for grifting and violence was his last act before dying...along with the turning into a human fountain thing, and saying "wurglegurbllllle".

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 8 points 3 weeks ago

His last act was leaning left.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 3 weeks ago

I hope whoever did it was a Liberal, separating the MAGA Morons from their money, but it was probably another MAGA. They have no problem ripping off each other.

[–] breezeblock@lemmy.ca 15 points 4 weeks ago

It’s grift, all the way down.

[–] Archangel1313@lemmy.ca 12 points 4 weeks ago

The grift just keeps in gifting. Even from beyond the grave.

[–] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Fool, money, yada yada

Wish I’d thought of it when he decided to lean left, those idiots buy cases of beer just to shoot as a tantrum, then another case to drink

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Say what you will about Charlie Kirk, but he was proven wrong.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 4 weeks ago

Gosh, that's just terrible.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

The only issue I have with this, is the lack of commas in this headline.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

If we sprinkle them, liberally, it will make up, for it.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 4 weeks ago

Who let William Shatner in here?

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 6 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

And right wingers will learn nothing but grifters learned everything

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 4 weeks ago

right wingers fall for scams quite easily, due to amount of propaganda they recieved, never believe with your eyes and ears, it extends int MLMS, CRYPTO.

[–] Manjushri@piefed.social 5 points 4 weeks ago

I wonder if the site is down because they're being sued.

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

OF FUCKING COURSE IT DID.

[–] SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 weeks ago
[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 4 weeks ago

just like the truckers in canada, where a "tamara Lich" TOOK thier money and ran.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 weeks ago

Rug-pulling the rug-pullers. Well done.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

Who would have thought that a movement with a con man as a leader might live of fraud and embezzlement.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

We're they the ones who also ended up leaking personal information about the people reporting?
