Exclusive: More than $ 514,000 was donated to the official “Help Karmelo Anthony” fund on the crowds designated for the sources.

Anthony told the police that he “did it”-in the sense of killing-but he claimed that he was self-defense. He was charged with first -degree murder.
Now, Givendgo is applied to collect online donations for the legal expenses of the Anthony family. Other large platforms of the crowds, including GOFUNDME and Kickstarter, did not distribute a campaign to Anthony to their sites.
But Jacob Wells, co -founder of Jacob Wells and his leadership team, provides Anthony.
“How proud I am this campaign? I don’t, I will not say I am proud at all,” Wales told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview.
“I have no pride in the presence of this on Givendgo. I have an estimate of what it provides in the midst of these tragic moments, which stand on the principle, which is the love of people even in the midst of difficult and very dark places.”
Wales admitted that there were other campaigns on his site, such as the habitat of donations for boys. But the collection of donations in Anthony is not one of these.
Wales claimed that his company has only removed campaigns for reasons that are considered “illegal”, or collecting money under false allegations. He says he has recorded a fundraising campaign to collect money fraudulently for travel expenses while the organizer intended to use money to buy a weapon.
Wales refused to say directly whether there are any talks about the campaign to remove the campaign, but she insists that “all the participants in the company’s leadership largely” support it.
Wales compared Anthony’s box with his first platform hosted by Kyle Rithen Hosted in 2020. This effort collected more than $ 250,000 after Rittenhaus launched three men in Kinswa and Wisconsin, during Jacob Blake Riot.
But now Anthony’s campaign has collected more than twice this number, looking for more. Wales and his colleagues also faced a violent decline and death threats, he said he had a conversation about donating profits to collect donations to the Metcalf family to try to clarify that it is not just a platform for the Anthony Fund to make financial gains.

Wales has also made special attention to this campaign in recent weeks, as it was one of the largest and most famous that his platform hosted ever. He went out on his way to take note of the types of people who donate, and why they donate.
For him, some of these people donate wrong reasons. ”
“There will always be people who donate for wrong reasons, in any campaign. There are people who think the best way to move forward is the ethnic division. This is what they believe in. So they will cancel the racist division fire, but they can,” Wales said. “When you live in free societies, which is what we do, there is a price to pay, and this allows some people to do things that may not be good. I think people do it all the time.”
Wells specifically referred to the “defending a racist narration” as a wrong reason for his desire to donate to the campaign, when asked.
“When someone defends a divisive and uniformous racist narration, I claim that this is a wrong reason to donate. There are people who donated donating and uniformous allegations. These are in some comments.
“They also go in both directions. We have seen people who donated because the donation is a way to comment on the campaign page … You have people on the other side of the corridor and they will work to donate with a minimum of only $ 5 so that they can post a comment that is insulted to the Anthony family.”
However, Wales claims that the “overwhelming majority” of participating in the collection of donations was not “insulting”.
Wells refused to indicate any specific comments representing the “wrong” causes. However, some of the general comments reviewed by Fox News Digital reflect the “racial narration” reference for Wells.
“Frankly, even if Carmelo Austin stabbed for no reason at all, I still donate and support. I have moved away from our killing for hundreds of years. I didn’t care about white life.”

Wales blamed “right anger” for his leadership to support donation.
“The anger of the right closed the response of the other side,” Wales said, adding that he saw similar patterns that occurred due to the left -wing response to the Rittenhouse Fund, and when his site hosted a campaign to support Daniel Benny after the killing of Jordan Nilly in defense of New York City passengers in 2023.
Anthony family representatives referred to sweat while comparing Anthony’s status with Rittenhouse’s and Penny’s.
The head of the upcoming work network (NGAN) Dominic Alexander compared to a press conference on April 17.
Alexander said: “Since these racist fanatics are trying to prevent us from standing for the sake of our child, and our kindness, he must get the same rights as Kyle Rittenhaus, Daniel Benny and all the people who claimed whatever their defense – must get the same right.”
Nagan said in a statement last week that Anthony was recently transferred from his home to “an unknown location to ensure his immediate safety” after “a disturbing increase in the deaths threats, constant harassment, and physical intimidation targeting the family’s home.”

Meanwhile, the Metcalf family has been victims of wandering in recent weeks, and the FPD Police Administration (FPD) previously confirmed. Swatting is when a 911 call is made, usually to report a fake violent crime, to obtain the police and sometimes even SWAT teams, to respond to the address presented by the caller.
Tell Metcalf’s father, Jeff Metcalf, previously Fox News“I want to make something clear to start starting because I have already heard some rumors and gossip. This was not a family thing. This is not a political thing.
“Don’t feel this. It is not … this is a human being. This person has taken a bad choice and his family and family were affected forever.”
