There's a lesson there somewhere about GO-F-Me,isn't there?
--GRA
“Our terms of service prohibit fundraising for the legal defense of a violent crime. At this time, the fundraiser has been removed and all donors have been refunded,” GoFundMe said in a statement Thursday.
I don't think this is anything really new -- from what I understand, they normally delete pages put up to benefit those charged with violent crimes -- if anyone knows of an instance where they have been inconsistent about this, i.e. they have allowed a campaign for the 'right' sort of violent criminal defendant, post a comment about it.
There are alternatives; perhaps GiveSendGo would allow the campaign to stay up.

Yeah: reading their ToS before starting a campaign is a good idea.
