Sunday was a massively important day for Jose “Chille” DeCastro as he stood in front of his audience for nearly seven hours in a livestream where he literally begged for the thousands of dollars he needed to fund his latest lawsuit and walked away with a total of $353.00 donated to his GoFundMe.
DeCastro made the claim that he was poor, broke, possibly destitute. That he “couldn’t afford” to properly sue former Justice of the Peace Ann Zimmerman and others because AI would soon be outlawed for use in legal cases. Only a yearly subscription to the “Westlaw AI” could save him because it would never be outlawed.
It cost $4,000.00 a year, he said, and as a poor YouTuber, with 646,000 subscribers and 2060 people tuning into his livestream for one moment of the vertically formatted stream that has had 285,399 views in the 9 hours it’s been live, he simply couldn’t afford that.
Strangely going from success to failure as moments pass, DeCastro was unsure if he was a poor boy who nobody loved him who needed your help to fight this monstrosity, or the cold blooded killer, who brought thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening, to those he conquered in the past.
Barely a mention was made about his threatened and soon to be filed (maybe?) lawsuit against Dale “Lackluster” Hiller, his Constitutional HQ board game, or his never-ending lawsuit against Kate Peter, Team Skeptic, Daniel Clement and Michael “Blue Bacon” Pierattini (which very well may end this week).
His focus for the night was how the dirty, no-good, rotten, stinking, unscrupulous, uneducated horrible Justice of the Peace Ann Zimmerman and the jack boot thug pigs who jailed him twice in Las Vegas and how you needed to give him $5,000.00 to $6,000.00 to sue them and make up to $69,000,000.00 off of the abuse he suffered at their hands.
The weekend started slowly for DeCastro, with Friday’s take of $0.00, not surprising anyone. He didn’t go live, so he didn’t have the opportunity to pitch his campaign to his fans. SeanPaul “Long Island Audit” Reyes took the day with a $5.00 donation to his Support the Fight Against Tyranny and Corruption GoFundMe campaign.
Saturday fared better for the diminutive YouTuber. With no YouTube livestream to speak of, he pulled in $547.00 in donations to his GoFundMe campaign to take the crowdsourcing title for the day. With Clash with Bao placing second with a $110.00 take and DeCastro’s own Craig Hendry GoFundMe taking in a massive $10.00 for the day.
Sunday rounded out the three-day period with DeCastro stumbling backwards. His nearly seven-hour livestream only took in $353.00 in donations towards his campaign to give him the win for the day. SeanPaul Reyes again placed second with a $25.00 donation to his Support the Fight Against Tyranny campaign.
All in all, he’s made $1,200.00 out of his $5,000.00 or $6,000.00 or whatever goal he’s going to settle on, if you only count the money going towards GoFundMe campaign.
He’s made hundreds more from PayPal and CashApp donations and YouTube super chats during his livestreams. Though none of that money seemed to be factored into the totals he announced, as he drives his fans to donate directly to his GoFundme campaign.
DeCastro has shown in the past when he buckles down and focuses on a fundraising goal, he can meet the goals he sets. However, the frantic days when he made $60,000.00 to various GoFundMe campaigns last year in a three-month period don’t seem to be repeating themselves this year.
There’s money to be made in the market, though, and people seem willing to donate if the goal is something they care about.
YouTuber Clash with Bao has taken in $6,095.00 for the month, for example. While he’s had a giant head start over DeCastro, with his campaign running roughly six weeks, there’s interest in his case as he’s fighting a possibly illegal arrest out of the Boston area. He may actually go to jail if convicted, and he needs legal representation desperately.
DeCastro, on the other hand, is arrogantly suing a pair of Judges after being told that it’s almost impossible to sue a judge. He’s asking for nearly $69,000,000.00 because he says he was searched to see if he was livestreaming illegally before a hearing and his buddies weren’t allowed in the courtroom for another hearing even though they “for sure” got there 10 minutes early.
While he’s filed the lawsuit, “for real” he needs the rest of your hard-earned money because his love affair his ChatGPT is over and he needs to switch to WestLaw AI, which isn’t actually an AI but you need to give him your money anyway, ya’ll because somebody has to.
We suspect that he’ll eventually make his goal. Or he’ll get $3,000.00 in GoFundMe money and declare that he’s reached his goal through other means. But if his nearly seven-hour effort for $350.00 indicates anything, it’s that he probably won’t make it this particular week.
We’ll be monitoring DeCastro’s crowd sourcing efforts as his “quest for justice” continues.
