All that aside.
For all the concerns I have with the process, what the actual fork and knife is this go fund me. She paid $300,000 for this case? She had 300k that was liquid, near liquid, or easily borrowed that she could throw at this and now she's trying to recoup it? She was probably one of the most well off athletes in the whole sport (Americans being disproportionately well paid vs rest of world, and she was near the top of the US pyramid). Per her insta, she drives a new Jeep Rubicon or wrangler (2019 model can go second hand for 50k), and also has a Volkswagen van that she used to go van camping with this summer. She has two cars and she is having a go fund me? Does she have more than two properties? Investments? Does she have a 9-5? We don't know!
If she had said how she had to sell her house and two cars to try prove her innocence and was trying to train through a 9-5, and that after all that she was 300k in debt still, then maybe a gofundme would be more appropriate. But there is no evidence to suggest thats the case.
Thanks for this. I had forgotten about her two cars. She probably is trying to maintain her lifestyle and not stoop down to lesser living conditions.
