GoFundMe founders get big payday
Brad Damphousse and Andrew Ballester, co-founders of San Diego-based crowdfunding company GoFundMe, said Wednesday that they are selling a controlling interest in their startup to an investor group that includes Accel Partners and Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV). The startup is being valued at roughly $600 million through the sale.
GoFundMe, which claims to be the world's largest fundraising service, is used by people to solicit donations from friends and contacts for personal causes. Users of GoFundMe have collectively raised more than $1.2 billion from 13 million donors. Through the ownership sale, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, co-founders Damphousse and Ballester will find themselves flush with funds of their own. To date, the pair have avoided accepting outside capital, instead bootstrapping operations by charging customers a 5 percent transaction fee. It's unclear what motivated the entrepreneurs to abandon their long-held, we'll-do-it-on-our-own attitude.
"We’re incredibly proud of what’s been accomplished to date – and we’re just getting started. We aspire to be a world-class organization which means knowing when it’s time to bring on people who can help you realize your greatest potential," Damphousse said. "I’m proud to say that we’ve done just that." "It doesn't strike me as odd," Audrey Jacobs said of the founders' decision to cash out. Jacobs is a thought-leader in the crowdfunding space and serves as vice president of Americas at equity crowdfunding site OurCrowd. "What's remarkable about these young entrepreneurs is that they bootstrapped the company … and realized that they were at a point that if they were going to scale globally, and help as many people around the world raise money, that they needed to bring in experts who had grown and scaled companies at a massive level."
The investor group assuming ownership of GoFundMe is led by Accel and TCV, the former of which was an early investor in Facebook. The group also includes Greylock Partners, Meritech Capital and Stripes Group. Damphousse, 33, and Ballester, 34, will remain on the board of directors and still hold an undisclosed stake in the company, but relinquish control of day-to-day operations to a new leadership team. Former Groupon President Rob Solomon will take over as CEO and previous LinkedIn head of product David Hahn will serve as COO. GoFundMe will continue to be headquartered in San Diego and grow its team here. The company currently employees around 50 people locally. Solomon also plans to set up an office in Silicon Valley. GoFundMe's focus is on personal campaigns but the company competes in an increasingly competitive crowdfunding arena with some familiar names, including Kickstarter, Tilt and Indiegogo. Crowdfunding raised roughly $10 billion in aggregate funding in 2014, up from $1.5 billion in 2011, according to a March 2015 report from Goldman Sachs. "This is additional market validation of how important crowdfunding is for the future of finance," Jacobs said.

Michael Flynn, Twitter Statement regarding Go Fund Me
Guess who tried to pull a fast one!
Indeed, he tried to get people to go to a fake go fund me, saying it was for Flynn. I would love to get my hands on the Tweet he deleted after he was called out by Mike Jr.
Anon's I hadn't thought about this before, but since Strzok was the one to interview, Gen Flynn, then Strzok's firing should exonerate everything for him, shouldn't it?
You lost me…explain more please
He certainly has all the grounds he needs now, finally moving in the right direction for him.
Not to poo poo what you are saying, but the best weapon these companies have against this kind of thing is bankruptcy, which leaves everyone else on the loosing side.
All ways starts at the top, doesn't it..
Ah, okay I see what you are saying. When you think about it that way, it's the only way they really make money, isn't it?
The data sell off's I am completely aware of and it aggravates the hell out of me. They should be paying the American people for the use of their information.
That's true, but I see the selling of our personal information as a commodity in that each one is unique set of pools per say that they fit into and because it belongs to the individual, I feel the individual should be paid for it, based on the idea that these companies would not exist without that data set. Its another form of harvesting free for them, and a requirement they impose on us, for any service we use, whether free or paid for.
We do:)
I have encountered places like that, amazing to me that people are really that blind, or they just don't care.
Now that is interesting! Great job anon!
Westminster car crash: Man arrested as pedestrians injured
A number of people have been injured after a car crashed into security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament, Scotland Yard say. Armed police, ambulances and firefighters are responding to the incident in central London, which happened shortly after 07:30 BST. Officers were seen surrounding the vehicle before a man was arrested. Reports say cyclists were hit but police do not believe anybody is in a life-threatening condition. Scotland Yard cannot say if the incident is related to terrorism at this stage but a number of eye witnesses have said the car appeared to deliberately hit members of the public. Westminster tube station is closed and streets around Millbank, Parliament Square and Victoria Tower Gardens have been cordoned off. People have been moved further back from the area as police put up a Terrorism Act cordon, officers at the scene said. Parliament is currently not sitting. An eye witness has reported to the BBC that the driver was travelling westbound past the Houses of Parliament when the car swerved into eastbound traffic. The witness said the driver appeared to have deliberately hit cyclists queuing at traffic lights to enter Parliament Square. He said the car then swerved back across the road and hit the crash barrier next to the parking area outside the House of Lords.
Images posted to social media showed a man in handcuffs being led away from the car by officers. The BBC's Callum May, at the scene, said: "Parliament Square is now ringed by blue police tape. There is a large group of armed officers in the square. "Paramedics are treating a small group of people sitting on the ground outside the Palace of Westminster. "They are wrapped in silver blankets. One eyewitness, who declined to give his name, said he saw a small hatchback drive into a group of cyclists and then into the barrier outside the Palace of Westminster. The man said that the driver's action appeared deliberate."
More than 10 police vehicles and at least three ambulances remain outside Parliament. Firearms officers and at least two police dogs are stationed inside Parliament Square. Ewalina Ochab, who also saw the crash, said: "I think it looked intentional - the car drove at speed and towards the barriers. She said: "I was walking on the other side of the road. I heard some noise and someone screamed. I turned around and I saw a silver car driving very fast close to the railings, maybe even on the pavement." The vehicle did not appear to have a front registration plate when it crashed, she added. Scotland Yard said: "At 07:37hrs today, a car was in collision with barriers outside the Houses of Parliament. "The male driver of the car was detained by officers at the scene. A number of pedestrians have been injured. Officers remain at the scene. We will issue further info when we have it." Westminster station is closed for entry and exit, Transport for London said, and is open only for interchange between lines. Rush hour traffic is being diverted and workers have been told there may be a long wait before roads are reopened.
The Houses of Parliament are surrounded with security barriers of steel and concrete. The measures were extended in the wake of the Westminster Bridge attack in March 2017 when Khalid Masood ploughed a car into crowds on Westminster Bridge, killing four people.

With exception of this last election, I doubt it makes the half mark.
Intolerance would better describe this bunch.
Andrew McCabe legal defense fund stops taking donations after 'overwhelming' response
The GoFundMe campaign raising money for fired former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe stopped taking donations Monday after an "overwhelming" response took the total to more than $554,000. The campaign, led by friends of McCabe, sought to raise $250,000, but more than 13,000 people donated far beyond that amount in just five days.

Wonder if he still has the payment from Killery
I saw that but it looks like they are doing it under the guise of a group collection. So supposedly the funds come from multiple sources. I dug on them the articles I found stated all charges were dropped….but we will see, might be they won't see it coming when it does.
I think it just might be, but this one will have the ending we were wanting in the first place.
This is worse than stupid, because they believe the are above it all.
SHA-1 over SHA-256.
What is SHA-256, SHA2, and why is it used?
SHA is a component of an SSL certificate used to ensure that data has not been modified.SHA accomplishes this by computing a cryptographic function and any change to a given piece of data will result in a different hash value. As a result, differing hash values are key to determining if data has been altered.
SHA-2 (Secure Hash Algorithm 2) is a set of cryptographic hash functions designed by the United States National Security Agency(NSA) and National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).They are built using the Merkle–Damgård structure, from a One-way compression function itself built using the Davies-Meyer structure from a (classified) specialized blockcipher.Cryptographic hash functions are mathematical operations run on digital data; by comparing the computed "hash" (the output from execution of the algorithm) to a known and expected hash value, a person can determine the data's integrity.
SHA-2 includes significant changes from its predecessor, SHA-1.It also features a higher level of security than its predecessor.The SHA-2 family consists of six hash functions with digests (hash values) that are 224, 256, 384 or 512 bits: SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA-512/224, SHA-512/256.
