There is no evidence this is an official donation fund

    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

    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.

      I have been called a bootlicker for saying I think he probably killed Thompson. This is what actual bootlicking looks like

        And killing Thompson is the whole reason people elevate him. If Luigi Mangione is actually just some random dude getting his McD’s after working on his fan-fiction manifesto and printing out copycat fake IDs for lols, then the story isn’t really about Luigi.

    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.

    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.
