The crowdfunding campaign to help Greece pay back a $1.8 billion IMF loan is already up at €1.9 million with 32 hours left to go. The London man responsible for the idea told RT he acted because of the “constant delays of the politicians in Europe.”
Thom Feeney, the founder of crowdfunding platform IndieGoGo, was able to collect more than €1.80 million ($1.98 million) by Sunday – the day Greeks went to vote on the EU’s proposed bailout deal and austerity measures.
At the time of publication a total of 105,629 people from across Europe raised the €1,872,137 in eight days. “We’ve so far raised 1.8 million euros, I’ve had thousands and thousands of messages of support on the funding page and quite a lot from Greek people and people across the world on twitter as well,”Feeney told RT.
