• 0:59
  Speaker 1: but I think for realized that's not the way to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: get money out of people. The way to get money
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: out of people is to have a story, and not
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: just any story, a story that pulls out people's heart scrings. Okay,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you gotta have a SOB story. I'm talking Cleo right

• 1:15
  Speaker 1: in the blaze of glory and set it off. I'm
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: talking Ricky getting shot in the backing boys in the hood.

  Speaker 1: I'm talking when Charlotte and Charlotte's Webb dies because she
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: has reached the end of her lifespan sidebar Wilbur is

• 1:30
  Speaker 1: damned graffiti with her web right out full messages to
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: show how special Wilber was when the reality is his
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: fate was to be baking. Okay, wal poor Charlotte out
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: physically and emotionally. Charlotte sacrificed her own well being for Wilbur,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: dropping a cluees bond for Charlotte Fromcharlotte, What a selfless
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: spider she was. Okay, but your story to receive money
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: from complete scranges has to be that sad, which actually
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: means it has to be that good. And this woman
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Madison from Iowa, Oh, she's one of those people who
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: had a really good, sad story. See this woman was
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: able to raise thirty seven thousand dollars from daunas thirty
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: seven thousand dollars thirty seven wrecks. How is she able
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: to get this money? Let's go to News eight for
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: the report. Please, Hi everyone, my name is Maddie Russel
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: and this is my story. A LinkedIn video of nineteen
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: year old Mattie Russo explaining her supposed cancer diagnosis. She
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: claims she was diagnosed with stage two pancreatic cancer acute
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: lymphoblastic leukemia and told there was a football sized tumor
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: wrapped around her spine. Since then, Russo has talked about
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: going through cancer with the National Pancreas Foundation in Chicago.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: She's also been on a podcast for Project Purple Online,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a group on a mission to find a cure for
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: pancreatic cancer. Her stories on both platforms have since been removed.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: A go fund me fundraiser was started titled Maddie's Fight
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Against Pancreatic Cancer. Tom Booland was listed as who started
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the donation page. As you can see, it raised nearly
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: thirty eight thousand dollars from more than four hundred donors
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: By Tuesday, the go fund me page was taken down.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: Go fund Me releasing a statement Tuesday saying they have
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: a your ot tolerance policy for misuse of our platform,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: and the group is guaranteeing a full refund to donors.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I really don't understand people like her. If you could
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: take the time and energy to create this elaborate false
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: story about having a stage two cancer diagnosis with a tumor,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: then guess what. You can write a script? Okay, you
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: can write a novel, all right? How about write about
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: your dark side instead of leaning into it. Because what
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: happens in these situations is you make it bad for
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: the person who's really dealing with cancer and who would
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and who would love to have thirty seven thousand dollars
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to deal with their medical bills, but because of folks
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: like you, Okay, folks like me will come across these
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: requests and deny them simply because I don't believe you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: You need more people, all right. This woman had a
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: fake stash in medical supplies, you know what I mean?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Anne wigs in her apartment. Girl, you could have been
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: throwing place. Okay, you could be the next Doylar period
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the next Jordan Cooper, the next August Wilson. But instead
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: of being America's next top playwright, you decided to compete
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: in America's Got You scameras. I don't feel sorry for you, man, Okay,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I just hate to waste the talent because anyone who
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: can come up with labish successful schemes like this can
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: use that same time and energy figure it out a
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: way to mix some money legally. Okay. Also, I was

  Speaker 1: be because I didn't want to actually be. That's how
