19. The property owner built his illegal wall with money he collected
Tue May 28, 2019, 11:17 PM

through a gofundme account. Brian Kolfage raised $20 to build the wal, but his group, "We Build the Wall", told Yahoo! the project cost $6 million, far less than the money he collected.

So where's the rest of the money? Let this grifters past indict him:

"In now-deleted Facebook posts, Kolfage appealed to followers to donate to “get vets back on track” and said his program worked in conjunction with military hospitals, such as Walter Reed, Brooke Army Medical Center, and Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, which treated Kolfage in 2004 after the horrific explosion at Balad Air Base in Iraq that left him injured.

But representatives for all three medical centers told BuzzFeed News that they have no record of any peer-mentoring programs or Kolfage working with patients at their centers."
