GoFundMe has been caught auto-generating donation pages for 1.4 million nonprofits using public IRS data and information from “trusted partners” like PayPal—without the organizations’ knowledge or approval.
The platform admitted it created these pages on its own, allowing donations to flow through GoFundMe as the middleman. Critics are calling it another stunning example of unchecked corruption in America’s institutions—where massive digital fraud happens in plain sight and no one ever faces justice.
