"The co-founder of the “We Build The Wall” project aimed at raising money for a border wall pleaded guilty Thursday to charges in a case that once included former President Donald Trump’s adviser Steve Bannon.

Brian Kolfage admitted to pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars while promising all donations would pay for the wall. His plea came a month before a trial in a case that began in dramatic fashion in August 2020, when Bannon was pulled from a luxury yacht off the coast of Connecticut and arrested on allegations that he and three others ripped off donors trying to fund a southern border wall."


They stole $$$$ from people.

Just goes to show that just about everything surrounding Trump is basically fraud. They all live for their lies and deceit. Scumbags all.

They do not care. The Trump administration was a greenlight for grifting, and if the GOP retakes the White House and Congress again, which I think they will, it'll be another gifting grand prix. Their supporters won't care; they'll say the "job providers" are just getting their tax money back. Probably a solid majority of people in this country are suckers.

Of course they did.

They stole money from morons. The leaders of the right know how easily duped the citizens of Trump Fan Nation are. Just like Trump himself knew it.
 
Trump and his clan around him have such a looooooong history of conning people, so it is fascinating seeing people still trust him and his 'buddies' and still get scammed. But people been falling for scams since Day 1..
There are people that either don't have the ability to see a conjob coming or are so hateful they don't care.
 
The best people.
 
It's always a good thing to expose fraudulent charitable activism. BLM should be next.

People like you were all over this forum promoting, and cheering for this particular fraud.

People like me figured out that this was not the first time these two (not to mention Bannon) had scammed the Trump faithful. It only took about five minutes of research.

I told you so, and got attacked mercilessly for doing so.

So, now that we’ve been proven right again, and that trump nation fell for a scam once again, all you have is empty whataboutism.

You claimed that BLM is a fraudulent charity. Let’s see your evidence. And I won’t settle for empty claims.

So tiring...

So it's a shell game. 3-card-monte.

some people simply don't have the ability to protect themselves from scams.

You told me no such thing - quote it.

You don't like charity frauds, right?

I'd rather you support them all the way up until the indictments start pouring in.

Stupid people do stupid things with their money.

In a shell game, the dealer benefits. Please prove that the BLM movement has ties to the BLM Foundation.

Yeah, you’re still trying to defend your false whataboutism. When you repeat false nonsense from right wing media and get fact checked, continuing to try and pass off your baseless claim as fact isn’t much of a 3 crd monte.

But people who are so invested in defending their own false claims are easy marks for cons. Just as trump. He plays his base for suckers every day.
