A website that promised to unmask critics of conservative activist Charlie Kirk took tens of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency donations before going offline, according to a report.

The site “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” was launched hours after Kirk’s assassination on September 10 and pledged to name and shame those who spoke out against him to pursue “the largest firing operation in history.”

It asked supporters to contribute toward “a highly sophisticated enterprise system that will be impervious to Leftist attacks,” and directed them to cryptocurrency blockchains, the technology behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, according to Drop Site.

The website’s anonymous developers raised more than $30,000 from supporters between September 12 and 14, according to the outlet.

Now the domain www.charliesmurderers.com has gone dark.

      Before it went offline, the website featured a list of names, including people’s email addresses and social media handles, who criticized Kirk online.

      One of the names on the website included Erin Gudge, who resigned from her role as the board chair of the Philomath School District in Oregon after the controversy.

      Workers across the country were removed from their jobs or faced sanctions for praising or celebrating Kirk’s assassination.

      Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the Pentagon was “tracking closely” any civilian and military employees who celebrated the murder.

      I seriously wouldn’t put it past the Trump administration to be the ones behind this, especially given their shift towards embracing everything crypto, and amping people up about this narrative at every chance?

      The problem is, it’s likely enriching different conservative cunts, who have more power and influence to begin with.
