Deep within the Chrissy Teigen & John Legend row with Liz Crokin is this little gem:

Text1: "Malice author, sex crime survivor & investigative journalist censored by MSM for covering Clinton corruption, sex trafficking & Seth Rich. Pedogate is REAL!! paypal.me/LIZCROKIN"
Text 2: "Please support me here. I started my blog since MSM censored & punished me for covering sex trafficking & Seth Rich! Pay Liz Crokin LLC using PayPal.me"
The Gizmodo article can be viewed here, which includes this screen cap:

I didn't know that PayPay engaged itself with the likes of Crokin.

OP
Most of the funding sites cut off white supremacists once they are exposed.

The fact that bigoted and hate groups use it is unsurprising. Expecting PayPal to know what all of their customers use their service for is unrealistic.
That isn't a support of white supremacists but I use PayPal as my default method of paying for lots of reasons. They have no idea what I am buying in eBay. They aren't in bed with the vendor, they provide a service to negotiate payment.

is a bigot raising funds to do Gosh-knows-what!
Maybe OP should complain to Paypal about this bigot using their services, then come back and let us know so we can ALL complain to Paypal about this bigot?
