An example of ultimate classless behavior is someone I'm friends with posting their gofundme link last week saying "help ____ get back on her feet", then yesterday seeing the same person post about the brand new Mercedes her boyfriend got for her.

I'm not saying that's what you're suggesting at all, but it's a classic example of tacky crowdfunding and I agree with some pp's that any solicitation of money is an active act regardless of the reason.
