"The Trump campaign exploited its donors to raise millions of dollars off of claims of election fraud officials knew were false. The Trump campaign and its surrogates misled voters as to where their funds would go and what they would be used for. So not only was there the big lie; there was the big rip-off"
"The campaign sent millions of fundraising emails to supporters between Election Day 2020 and Jan. 6, 2021, the day of the riots. The emails urged donors to give money to “fight back” and “step up” in response to the “left-wing mob” and Democrats undermining the election. In all, former President Trump and his allies raised $250 million off the efforts, including $100 million in the week after the election."

Kind like Trump University, and if I remember correctly, Trump lost several civil suits regarding him scamming those who believed him
