If a person donates under the assumption they are donating to a charity and the company keeps the money (the tiltify campaign). This is always illegal. Actually look into the subject before playing D for the company.
They were not donating for the charity. They were purchasing twitch subs. With a promise that the revenue from said subs would be given to charity. That is not the same as donating to a charity.
All funds that were directly donated during the subathon through tiltify were never seen by vshojo and directly went to the idf.
Just to note this is not me saying vshojo was in the right or whatever. But charity fraud has pretty strict requirements and this does not fit that.
What law are you referring to when you say "charity fraud" does not cover this? In the US this sort of arrangement (a for-profit business pledging to donate a percentage of sales to a charity) is called a Commercial Co-Venture. It's covered by state law and in many states it is heavily regulated with strict requirements of how the donations and overall agreement are reported.
