There's something strange going on with the GoFundMe wall page [View all]

Link to tweet

Umm, there’s something strange going on with the gofundme wall page.
The list of names repeats itself constantly as you scroll through, I only saw one donation over a hundred dollars, most are $50 or $100.
Look how many time Diane holland, Steve farmer, David Moore, donated..?

It continues like this, and there are many other repeated names.
I was skeptical before, but this totally looks like someone else is funneling tons of money into this using fake accounts.
