SeanPaul “Long Island Audit” Reyes’ “surprise” arrest on Wednesday brought in $2,701.00 from his supporters to his “Support Freedom Stand Against Tyranny Together” fund, which mysteriously went live and was featured in the description of his arrest video before his arrest.
The fund is seeking $10,000.00 and is the second biggest one-day haul we’ve recorded since starting this column. Only Jose “Chille” DeCastro’s “Justice for All Legal Battle for Accountability” fund’s July 14 take beat it with a $3,621 take, which came as DeCastro was released from jail.
DeCastro’s fund also offered the added incentive of a promised private party with DeCastro providing his donors with private hotel rooms if he reached his goals. Ultimately, his fund would put on roughly $1,000.00 more in donations before being abandoned by both DeCastro and his donors.
In early observation, Reyes’ fund has put on nearly $200.00 since we checked it at 3:30AM ET. Reyes has yet to make an official public statement as to the arrest or to promote the fund, though he appeared briefly on the Full Court Press YouTube channel’s live stream Wednesday night as he was released from jail.
Reyes indicated that he was charged with criminal contempt second degree disobey mandate. The law is a misdemeanor in New York and carries a punishment of up to 364 days in jail, up to $1,000.00 in fines and probation, counseling and community service.
It’s unclear what Reyes will do next, as he previously bought an electronic billboard truck and has parked in in front of the home of Nassau County police commissioner Patrick Ryder to protest previous arrests. Reyes, coincidentally, has an on-going GoFundMe campaign to pay for the truck despite it reportedly being paid in full by the YouTuber.
In semi-related news, the self-described protégé of Reyes, Too Apree, has officially ended his Butterfly Boy related GoFundMe campaign. Unlike Jose “Chille” DeCastro, who only suspended his various GoFundMe campaigns, Apree fully ended his campaign.
Apree’s campaign was to help him with an arrest in 2023 and brought in $5,035.00 out of a $21,000.00 goal. It was recently inadvertently revived by DeCastro as he mentioned it in a live stream, and it began to pull in new donations.
As for the rest of the market for Wednesday, our own on-going expenses campaign took in $10.00 as did Long Island Audits Support The Fight Against Tyranny & Corruption! Campaign.
On that note, if you’d like to help an over the hill under the radar minor league YouTuber keep breathing, we’d be remiss if we didn’t remind you that you can continue to force the hard-working professional blogger and known pillar of the community Jim Finch to keep writing this dreadful column each day by contributing to the GoFundMe run by this very channel (https://gofund.me/b8144e31). All proceeds go to keeping the lights on, eating, and writing new stories to feature here and on reallycoolsite.org.
