MAGA Site Took Money to Unmask Charlie Kirk Critics—Then Vanished

Trumpy donors say the pro-Kirk “exposure” project took tens of thousands before going dark.

A pro-MAGA website that urged supporters to fund a database unmasking Charlie Kirk critics took tens of thousands in crypto—then vanished, infuriating donors.

The site, Expose Charlie’s Murderers, launched hours after the assassination of the right-wing influencer, 31, in September. It promised a searchable trove of names and workplaces for “the largest firing operation in history,” according to Drop Site’s review of the now-offline project.

The site listed six crypto wallets and raised more than $30,000 between Sept. 12 and 14 before repeatedly going dark, resurfacing as the “Charlie Kirk Data Foundation,” and disappearing again, Drop Site reported.

    Yes. And we could donate to food banks or something.

    Also the best way to fake an affiliation is to copy a real one and change a few things.

    It looks legit if it was from a legit source. (I’m not going to say why I know this works but it works very well if you do it the way I instruct).

    Copy paragraphs from proud boys and heritage foundation sites. They all plagiarize so no shame in us doing it to them. Change out some images. Keep to the same styles on the maga affiliation websites. They have styles and trends. Follow them.

    When you try to fake an identity , it’s often influenced by your stereotypes you hold about that group. And it will show. It’s why under cover cops can so easily be spotted by some of us.

    They look like 40 year old men trying to “look cool” based on what they think drug culture thinks is cool. It’s rather amusing and they stick out to anyone who can recognize them.

    But we have to be concerned about something similar.

    I don’t think most maga are smart enough to recognize fake websites. Like … they watch fox.
    They seem highly gullible. But best to not underestimate them. One smarter dude pointing out some inconsistencies could end the ruse and then they will be on high alert.
