>>60610930 (OP)Pretty much anything can be a money-mill, Anon.
Alan Gottlieb treated the Second Amendment Foundation as his personal piggybank for decades.
>send out letters to boomer gun owners>warn of horrifying restrictions and infringements>boomers send you money>even though you're a convicted felon>who can't own guns any more>and who is running an anti-gun-control lobbying outfit>cash the checks>use the money to rent your own building from yourself>get a Corvette as a "company car">fly to Hong Kong every year for a big shopping trip>especially for suits because you gotta look good>hire all of your family members for no-show jobs>80% of donations go to "overhead"Now, I'll admit that ever since the Heller case got decided, Gottlieb has done a shitload of good work to fight gun control laws, but I bet he's still siphoning most of the money into his own pockets.
You could do the same thing with damn near anything, from animal rights (PeTA) to environmentalism (Nature Conservancy) to "autism awareness" (which doesn't do anything other than "raise awareness" anyway). FFS you could set up a charity to help Thai prostitutes, market it to all the dumbfuck religious zealots in the U.S., rake in donations, and go fuck hookers in Pattaya to "help" them make more money.
