Here’s a quick update on the latest around Chud the Builder’s GoFundMe situation based on recent coverage.
A fundraising page tied to Chud the Builder (Dalton Eatherly) has drawn substantial donations in the wake of his legal troubles, with reported totals exceeding six figures in some outlets as of mid-May 2026. This includes GiveSendGo campaigns aiming to support him and his family after controversies surrounding his online activity and the shooting incident.[1][2][4]
Media reports note that the GoFundMe/GiveSendGo campaigns have generated significant public backlash and criticism from commentators and social media users, who argue that funds are being solicited amid serious legal charges (including attempted murder and related counts). Some outlets emphasize the tension between supporters hoping to assist him and critics who question charity for someone facing violent-crime charges.[2][4][5][1]
Coverage also mentions subsequent legal developments and arraignment timelines, with authorities reporting the shooting incident near a Montgomery County courthouse in Clarksville and formal charges being filed against Chud the Builder. The situation has generated broad online discussion about accountability, online conduct, and the consequences of harassment or threats in relation to public figures.[8][9][1]
