• A website launched hours after Charlie Kirk’s assassination raised over $30,000 in cryptocurrency before vanishing completely.
• The site promised to expose 60,000 critics in “the largest firing operation in history” but published only 41 entries.
• Conservative donors who contributed to the supposed doxxing database now allege they’ve been scammed.

SPOKANE, Wash. (TDR) — A website that promised to unmask critics of Charlie Kirk took tens of thousands of dollars in cryptocurrency donations before disappearing without delivering on its promises, according to an investigation by Drop Site.

The Vanishing Act

The site “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” emerged within hours of Kirk’s assassination on September 10 at Utah Valley University. It pledged to create a searchable database of names and workplaces for over 60,000 people allegedly “supporting political violence online,” sortable by employer, location, and industry.

Between September 12 and 14, the website’s anonymous developers collected more than $30,000 through approximately 190 payments across six cryptocurrency blockchains, according to CoinTracker software. The group justified crypto donations by claiming they were working with Fortune 500 and Big Tech data scientists to build “a highly sophisticated enterprise system that will be impervious to Leftist attacks.”

By September 14, the operation claimed receipt of 63,648 submissions. Yet the website published only 41 entries before the domain charliesmurderers.com went dark. Multiple rebrands followed—including the Charlie Kirk Data Foundation—but all versions have since disappeared.

Real Consequences for the Few Exposed

Though the promised database never materialized, the 41 people whose information was published faced severe harassment. Alex Wilson, a California researcher, was doxxed over two Instagram stories posted to several hundred followers. After being listed on the site, Wilson received torrents of rape and murder threats, forcing her to lock her social media accounts and purchase a service to scrub personal data from the web.

Erin Gudge, board chair of the Philomath School District in Oregon, was forced to resign on October 7 following “terrifying” stalking and violent threats after she wrote that she “will not mourn” Kirk in a Facebook post. Rebecca Allen, a UC Riverside student, was incorrectly listed as attending Sacramento State University, where multiple professors received emails demanding her expulsion from a program she wasn’t even enrolled in.

“This situation has been terrifying and awful and beyond anything I would want anyone to experience,” Gudge told Drop Site.

The Scam Unravels

The site gained traction quickly, earning endorsements from prominent figures including Alex Jones, Milo Yiannopoulos, and Scott Pressler. At its peak on September 12, the website garnered millions of views.

Domain registrar Epik LLC eventually deplatformed the site, citing false registration information and DDoS attack threats. The website was registered under a Spokane, Washington business address, though the operation’s true organizers remain anonymous. Registration records show the domain was created through a privacy service with an address in Iceland.

One North Carolina contributor, identified only as N.W., submitted over 200 entries to the site—including employees from Disney, USPS, and the Universal Life Church—after scrolling through Facebook profiles. None of his submissions were published, and he never received responses from the operators. “I’m still hopeful ECM will make a comeback,” N.W. told Drop Site.

Political Fallout and Free Speech Debates

The scam emerged during a broader campaign by Republican officials encouraging employers to fire workers who made allegedly insensitive comments about Kirk’s death. Vice President JD Vance urged listeners of Kirk’s podcast to “call their employer” if they witnessed anyone celebrating the assassination. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy publicly pressured airlines to fire employees who posted offensive content.

The group behind the website posted on X (formerly Twitter) that they were “political operatives that have represented major parties and candidates,” asking “Why would we jeopardize that for a 5-figure pay-day?” That X account, @forcharliekirk1, has not posted since September 23. The website operators have not responded to multiple requests for comment from news organizations.

Laura Edelson, assistant professor at Northeastern University and director of the Cybersecurity for Democracy Project, called the operation “absolutely a coordinated harassment campaign” designed to target selected individuals.
