Dumbass who gave Trump $2.5 million to find "election fraud" wants his money back

[shinobi602]

A venture capitalist who donated $2.5 million to a pro-Trump group trying to find evidence of fraud in the US election wants a refund after being disappointed with the group's efforts.

Fred Eshelman is suing True the Vote Inc., a monitoring organization in Houston, to reclaim the money.

The lawsuit says Eshelman sent $2 million to True the Vote on November 5, two days after Election Day.

At that point no winner had been called, but Joe Biden was by most tallies ahead of President Donald Trump, who had long claimed without evidence that the election was vulnerable to fraud.

Turns out you can't alter reality by just throwing a lot of money at something

 

[sfedai0]

Imagine giving money to a known grifter and then demanding it back.

Eshelman said he pressed True the Vote for details of how it was spending his money but instead got "platitudes, and empty promises."

There's a little element of, 'This could go wrong.'"

Why does anyone believe rich people are good with money? I could have lived the rest of my life very comfortably with that money.

 

[Cuburger]

This may be the first time I recall hearing a story of a grifter grifting millions of dollars off someone and being totally fine with that person not getting it back.

Don't listen to this poster. They are trying to rip you off. I'll do it for $2.4 million.

 

[Jedi2016]

Another example of "What did you think was going to happen?" Like, did he really expect them to properly invest the money and perform a thorough investigation?

Too bad, ol' boy's probably already got a new boat and a Ferrari.

Living proof America isn't a meritocracy, because dumbasses like this become multimillionaires.

 

[Wamapoke]

I wonder if he actually believed his donation was getting 1000% matched.

 

[Maccix]

Its incredible how people who should have some kind of understanding about how all of this works, fall all the time for the bullshit by trump and his goons.
