Donations made using PayPal platform may never reach charities, lawsuit says - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/feb/28/paypal-charity-donations-giving-fund-lawsuit

Charitable donations made through PayPal’s Giving Fund platform may never reach their intended recipients, a federal class-action lawsuit filed Tuesday in Chicago has alleged.
