5B BACKABUDDY SAID “NOT WITH OUR EFT”

when someone famous gets into serious legal trouble, should the internet help pay their lawyers... or should the internet say, “Respectfully, my banking app is closed”? Because that’s the drama around Peet Viljoen, husband of reality TV personality and businesswoman Mel Viljoen. A crowdfunding campaign was launched to raise R400,000 for his legal fees. Then BackaBuddy came through like the bouncer at the club and shut the whole thing down. Donations are reportedly being refunded.
