Jose “Chille” DeCastro’s return to livestreaming on his main channel Tuesday night by promptly messed up the promotion of Craig Hendry’s GoFundMe accounts on his big comeback show, by completely forgetting the URL to the campaign that he had promoted Sunday night.
DeCastro had previously lied about the total he had given Hendry’s newest GoFundMe Monday night when he made an appearance on John Filax’s livestream. He claimed multiple different donation amounts, from a low of $3,200.00 to a high of $7,000.00, even though neither campaign was anywhere near $7,000.00.
Filax added to the confusion by posting links to the wrong GoFundMe campaign, which saw a one-day jump in donations for Hendry’s original cmpaign. That confusion continued on Tuesday as DeCastro’s attempts to find Hendry’s GoFundMe resulted in DeCastro pulling up the wrong GoFundMe and being confused by the fact that there were two GoFundMe campaigns for Hendry.
DeCastro had previously claimed that Hendry was one of his closest friends and that they spent “hours” on the phone talking. For such close friends, DeCastro didn’t pre-check URLs for the promotions he was involved with, nor did he do a simple check of Hendry’s YouTube pages, which feature the correct donation link.
Even with diminished numbers for the night (261 live viewers on his main channel, down by hundreds of viewers compared to other “post big event” DeCastro shows), the fact that he screwed up so spectacularly in promoting Hendry’s account may have cost Hendry significant donations for the day.
As it stands, Hendry’s new Support Craig’s Fight Against Injustice fund drew $60.00 in donations for the day. His To Support Craig’s work fund, which DeCastro featured on screen during the event but dismissed as the wrong campaign, brought in no money at all for the day.
Long Island Audits Support the Fight Against Tyranny & Corruption campaign came in second for the day with a $5.00 donation. There were no other donations for any of the funds we cover.
DeCastro’s blunder comes at a time when Hendry’s family is desperate for funding for the transcripts of his recent trial that must be produced before Hendry can file an appeal DeCastro ignored Hendry’s plight for the rest of his broadcast and instead focused fundraising efforts on Dawn Newman, ultimately raising enough money, according to DeCastro, to fund her commissary account until Christmas.
