Karmelo Anthony’s family using bail donations to buy a new house

Text Drivers are Killers

Joe Biden - "Time to put Trump in the bullseye."
Everyone knew this would happen. Why do people give money to causes like this, esp since the kid has already admitted he did it?

april 15 2025 Karmelo Anthony‘s family will use over $400,000 in donations to buy a new house.
A GiveSendGo account created by Karmelo’s parents raised over $433,000 for his legal defense.

However, a source tells the The Sun UK newspaper that Karmelo’s parents will use the money as a down payment on a lavish new home in an upscale gated community.
The family’s lawyer, who previously said the money would be used for legal fees, justified the purchase of a new house.

“This family needs to be able to survive,” defense attorney Mike Howard said. “I think at this point, living in a gated community, given everything, the safety of their younger children is very warranted. Security details and criminal defense are not cheap.”

You're confused.
    • Fundraising Efforts: Karmelo’s family launched a GiveSendGo fundraiser to cover legal defense costs, raising over $350,000 by April 10, 2025, with the goal increasing from $100,000 to $450,000. This suggests the family may not have had sufficient liquid assets to cover legal expenses without public support, indicating they are not independently wealthy.
    • Father’s Occupation: Karmelo’s father is reported to be a finance manager at a Dallas car dealership, suggesting an upper-middle-class income but not significant wealth. The family’s lifestyle is described as “upper-middle-class,” with no evidence of poverty or reliance on substandard vehicles, countering some online narratives.

    • Housing Claims: Posts on X speculated that the family used crowdfunding money to buy an $800,000 home, but there’s no evidence supporting this. Claims about their home purchase are unverified and may stem from confusion with Carmelo Anthony’s real estate dealings (e.g., his $12.85M NYC condo).
  • Conclusion for Karmelo Anthony’s Family: Based on available information, Karmelo Anthony’s family appears to be upper-middle-class, with the father’s car dealership job providing a comfortable but not extravagant lifestyle. The need for a large crowdfunding campaign for legal fees suggests they lack the liquid wealth to handle significant unexpected expenses.

Karmelo Anthony Has Not Withdrawn Cash From GiveSendGo Fundraiser​

Karmelo Anthony has not withdrawn funds from his nearly $450,000 GiveSendGo fundraiser ... even after he walked free from the slammer on a $250K bond Monday.

Jacob Wells, cofounder of the popular crowdsourcing platform, tells TMZ no funds have been distributed, as the company receives "clarity from the campaign recipient on use of funds so that the people that have given can be confident in how their donation is being used."

The revelation comes while folks question how Anthony satisfied his $250,000 bond -- which a judge reduced from $1 million -- and how his family is covering his legal costs as the 17-year-old faces a first-degree murder charge in the stabbing death of Austin Metcalf at their Frisco, Texas track meet earlier this month ... all while allegedly living in a $900,000 rental home.

Wells further clarifies to TMZ campaign recipients are usually able to withdraw donations 72 hours after a donation is made -- either in full or a specific amount. However, he said there are certain scenarios in which a hold can be placed on a campaign -- to ensure proper verification and terms of service alignment, for example. He also said there's a chance a small reserve could be withheld to cover potential chargebacks and refunds, which sometimes happens in high-profile campaigns.

 
someone needs to tell the country how it is that the left gets everything concerning self defense backwards...........they did that shit with zimmerman, rittenhouse, and now karmelo..............WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!
 
Family is now trying to cash in even more by selling "free melo" t-shirts. Media has buried this story like they buried the whole black kills white story.
