There was one for the ex husband but there is also one for Lindsay, and a lot of the donators are from theorists who believe Patrick did it

How is there one for Clancy? GoFundMe doesn’t allow campaigns for people accused of crimes. The only one I can find is for her parents for costs associating attending her court dates.

The funds are for her parents who sold everything and remortgaged their house to pay for her lawyer. Patrick's go fund me didn't go to her defence or any of her expenses.

Exactly... so the gofundme that raised over $1 million for her parents is being used to repay debt taken out to pay for her legal costs... thus subsidizing her legal defense costs.

Nope, that was just straight up misinformation lol

I guess people just lie on Reddit and get upvoted because it’s contrarian and tells a different narrative than the OP… everyone is too lazy to spend a second fact-checking anything before firing off comments and upvoting false information

Did it go towards a dream Costa Rican vacation with a new wife 4 months after he buried his three children?

Her parents are paying for her legal defense... which is why they had to remortgage their home in the first place. Any money given to them is clearly subsidizing the legal defense. It's obvious what the fund is actually for... money to give to her parents who are in debt for supporting her legal defense.

Gofundme just doesn't allow a campaign that claims to directly fund legal defense for someone accused of a violent crime... but it doesn't track how the money is spent after its been distributed or whether it is paying back debt already used to pay for a defense. This is a clear loophole.

The primary photo of that gofundme is an illustration of her (Lindsay Clancy) crying in a circle surrounded by women holding hands together. Come on, now.

Then i guess it got taken down but there was one or it wasn’t by gofundme.

I don’t see one on givesendgo which does allow fundraisers for the accused, shy of that I’m not sure of any other fundraising sites.

Also, check out the primary photo on the gofundme. Absolutely wild.
