    Like Thompson’s salary, bonuses, stock dividends, and life insurance payout isn’t enough … :/

          I’ve been afraid to say precisely this.

          I could see rich people wanting to bag and tag anyone as quickly as possible to deter further comeuppance.

        What makes you think this fundraiser was started by anyone having anything to do with Thompson or his family? When events like this happen, scammers come out of the woodwork and make fake fundraisers and then pocket the money. Happened during Black Lives Matter, too.

          You’re right, anyone coule have started it but I don’t believe that’s his point. I think he’s talking about the fact that the fundraiser for a billionaire is allowed by the website while the one for the guy who allegedly took him out is not.

          Ps: I’m not arguing for or against anything, just clarifying a detail about the comment you seem to have misunderstood.

      Right?! They don’t need a GoFundMe when just his salary is 3-5 times as much in a single year as I’ll make in my lifetime. And he’s been making that for years.
