"We are raising funds to support a critical legal defense in the fight against unchecked corporate power and a system that continues to favor the few over everyone else. This case isn't just about one individual—it's about challenging a status quo that protects the interest of the powerful at the expense of justice and fairness," read one of the fundraising pages that was quickly removed by GoFundMe.

Why are they removing these?

I'm being generous here, but they might not be set up by someone that's actually connected with the guy. They probably should be taking down fake pages that amount to scams. I have no proof of that, just a thought. If they are taking down legit pages from people associated with the legal defense then it's as fucked as it sounds.
