The convoy protest in Ottawa raised more than $20 million over its three-week occupation of the city’s downtown. Court filings show how protest organizers spent their money, and how much of it remains unspent or unaccounted for.

This photo shows the first weekend of the convoy protest in Ottawa that became a three-week occupation of downtown streets.

Most of the money in escrow stems from Tamara Lich, the convoy leader who had access to the majority of the money through her. The crowdfunding efforts she led raised nearly $10.1 million from 120,000 donors before donations were suspended. The money used to fund the convoy protest came from various online fundraisers and included cryptocurrency.money raised through GiveSendGoRecently filed court documents show $4.25 million is being held by a payment processing company, but the remaining $7.75 million is unaccounted for.

Most of the digital currency was drained from its original source, with one main self-professed crypto organizer posting videos of himself handing access information directly to convoy supporters in downtown Ottawa. An email address was set up to accept donations, which also went into a personal account belonging to her. At the time, she was the only person with access to the donations.

Ya, imagine DONATIONS from private citizens being unaccounted for. Now do the BILLIONS for infrastructure of TAXPAYERS money unaccounted for by cathmckenna Just a little more important, don't you think?

Now do the billions the Liberals stole I mean misplaced

Huh, it's almost like the whole thing was just a front for white nationalists to launder money

PaulChampLaw money laundering....

7.75 in the report is attributed to givesendgo, who last I had heard were still deciding if they would refund. That's the bulk of the variance, and doest appear to be libel.

Into the coffers of the insurrectionists

investigatebradwall and investigatestephenharper for their roles in the convoy.

Did anyone reach out to BJdichter , James Bauder where the $$ went ? Would be interesting if the money went into bitcoin they keep promoting.

Anyone checked Poilevre's crypto account?

Grifters gotta grift.

This wouldn't be a problem if it was bitcoin

AlexAlvarova Someone check on Steve Bannon's bank balance...

All spent on Timbits I bet TimbitTaliban

Saw this coming like a gazillion miles away. It’s an entirely predictable outcome of this farce.

Grifters be grifting... Who knew

We just had a local woman steal $500,000 from her church. Got caught when they couldn't pay their bills. Trust no one....how many people had access to this money?

You don’t say……

Today Pride Toronto was charged with misappropriation of a $1.5 million grant that did not to the purposes it was given for.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

RosieBarton Check pet2’s bank account

Geez, it's like these organizers weren't honest people or sumthin....

charge, extradite and arrest the gsg people, aiding and abetting extremists (some of whom attacked law enforcement with semi trailers and wanted to kill the police) is very serious

I'm sure it paid for Tamara's husband to fly privately

What did you expect?

Check Randy Hillier's defense fund

PaulChampLaw I guess it’s explain why one core group of protesters was able to drive across the country to go annoy people in British Columbia because they don’t vote for conservatives.

Then they can apply that to the losses sustained as a result of their domestic terrorism.

More BS coming out of CBC. defundthecbc

I said it back then, these are professionals. They skimmed and moved away before the locking of the accounts which they knew was about to come.

It's almost like it was a scam the whole time.

Justin and his troll stole the money. Just tell it like it is CBC.

If any of that money is recovered it should be given to the city of Ottawa to recoup the millions it spent on police enforcement and cleanup

I’d take the time to read the article but it’s CBC so I’ll just wait a week or so until the retractions start then I’ll read the real story. defundCBC

The Donors and participants were conned. This may be the most visible obvious con job in history. Any critical thinker was able to see this was a set up by the organizers for personal gain from the start No sympathy for donors and certainly not for convidiots

....who knew UN cathmckenna helped out LisaLaFlammeCTV RosieBarton 🤣😂🤣😂

Surprise, surprise.

Check Skippys crypto purse 👜

Check PigeonPierre’s bank account

Color me shocked

Taking one out of BLM book.

Lololololol 🤣😭😭🤣🤣

RosieBarton Give it to the poor !

No way. Who could have predicted this lol

Second man charged in Ottawa arson case has no link to 'Freedom Convoy' protest: policeOttawa police have charged a second man in connection with an arson at a Centretown apartment building last month and there is no apparent link between him and the 'Freedom Convoy' protest. Just there to be an asshole I guess. Lol the infamous 'truth delay' from media, always after it has long left the headlines. Are they going to apologize to the Freedom Convoy? Of course not

The smartphone war: Soldiers, civilians and satellites document Russian invasion in real time | CBC NewsA month and a half into Russia's invasion of Ukraine, we've become so used to the steady stream of videos and images coming at us from the front lines that it's easy to forget it's not the norm to have a ringside seat to war unless you're fighting in it. Surely the world can see the terrible toll that this nation has suffered in the hands of their 'liberators.' With friends like these, who needs enemies? War time selfies are always a good idea. No one would ever think to use exif data or visual clues to pinpoint the location and plan an attack. except when they are used to target them

U.S. targets Putin's daughters with sanctions amid outrage over civilian deaths in Ukraine | CBC NewsThe United States has announced sanctions targeting Russian President Vladimir Putin's two adult daughters and said it was toughening penalties against Russian banks in retaliation for 'war crimes' in Ukraine. A wise decision. That is bull. Oil is involved in that issue. Trudeau wouldn’t talk to a convoy in Ottawa but willing to negotiate with a active country that committed war crimes. That pic reminds of the Zeppelin IV album cover.

Federal government to approve controversial Bay du Nord oil project | CBC NewsThe federal government will formally approve the Bay du Nord offshore oil project after markets close at 4 p.m. ET, CBC News has learned from multiple sources who are not authorized to speak publicly. Oil is a massively unstable commodity and its expansion ruins any chance we have at meeting our emissions targets. I will be voting accordingly. *Sigh* the planet can't afford any more new oil projects. This is a bad move for the health and well-being of the planet and its inhabitants. JustinTrudeau please stop approving these and certainly stop propping up the Oil and Gas industry with taxpayer money. ClimateReality Wouldn’t that be hypocritical to the extreme for the newly formed JustinTrudeau’s ndp-lib coalition?
