To be clear, I never raised $4.1 million in the name of Tamir Rice or for any family impacted by police violence. Including the Amazon Wish List and the two fundraisers, it was about $125,000.
Secondly, I never “gave” the family anything. I never possessed a single penny raised for this family. Ever. The courts seized the money we raised in 2014 and her first attorneys took a good deal of it for themselves. The courts then split the remaining money from that fundraiser and the second one between Samaria and Tamir’s father and gave it back to her in installments of their choosing. In a recent interview with New York Magazine, Samaria said “Shaun King raised all that money for Tamir and sent me a $60,000 check.”
I never did any such thing. I think she is referring to the viral tweet above from this past March.
THIS IS NOT MY OPINION. These are facts - with documents and receipts backing them up. But in an era where facts mean so little, so even after activists backed off of me raising $4.1 million, they still post this - another complete fabrication.
- That person literally made up the number of $4.1 million and pulled it out of thin air. Nobody ever even said such a thing until then.
- Only $120,000 in cash was raised. It’s been well documented.
- I never possessed it and never issued ANY CHECKS or disbursements.
- Her first attorneys took 25% of it. And the rest, $96,278.06, she split with Tamir’s father.
- Any checks she received came from Cuyahoga County and did not come from me.
