Apparently, GoFundMe looked at the donations coming in for the Ottawa truckers and decided to divert the money to what they believed a more worthy charity. They actually had a meeting and thought that was a good idea. They reconsidered after a threat of a fraud investigation.
There are a couple of lessons here. First, high-tech good ideas with a charitable element can be run by unethical morons. Second, despite the incredible problems with these decisions, the press will not emphasize it too much so you might skate along and not get public scorn. And, third, if this company survives, capitalism is much more forgiving than you thought.
