He has been charged with first-degree murder.Now, GiveSendGo is leading in online fundraising for the Anthony’s family legal expenses. Other major crowd-sourcing platforms, including GoFundMe and Kickstarter, have not platformed a campaign for Anthony on their sites.But GiveSendGo co-founder Jacob Wells and his leadership team are featuring Anthony’s campaign. “How proud am I of this campaign? I don’t, I wouldn’t say I’m proud at all,” Wells told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. “I have no pride in having this being on GiveSendGo. I just have appreciation for what GiveSendGo is doing in the midst of these tragic moments, which is standing on principle, which is loving people even in the midst of very hard and dark places.” Wells admitted that there have been other campaigns on his site, like a foster home for boys fundraiser. But Anthony’s fundraiser is not one of those. Wells claimed his company has only ever removed campaigns for causes deemed “illegal,” or raising money under false pretenses. He says he’s taken down a fundraiser for fraudulently raising money for travel expenses while the organizer intended to use the money to buy a gun. Wells declined to directly say whether there were any conversations about removing the campaign, but insists that “pretty much” everyone involved in leadership at the company has been supportive of platforming it. Wells compared the Anthony fund to the one his platform hosted for Kyle Rittenhouse in 2020. That effort raised over $250,000 after Rittenhouse shot three men in Kineshoa, Wisconsin, during the Jacob Blake riots. But now Anthony’s campaign has raised more than twice that number, and is looking for more. As Wells and his colleagues have faced backlash and death threats, he said he’s had a conversation about donating the profits of the fundraiser to the Metcalf family to try and make a point that they aren’t just platforming Anthony’s fund for financial gain.
