A fundraising campaign on the collection site of the Crowd Givendgo has raised more than $ 15,000 for a student from the Temple University who intends to fight a legal battle against the founder of Barstool Sports Dave Portnoy.
The student, Mo Khan, was pushed to the national controversy after Portnoy accused Khan of publishing a video in his Instagram story that showed a waitress inside the bar of Sansom Street of Barstool holding a sign that said “F — The Jews.”
Portnoy initially offered to send the student to a trip to Auschwitz to learn about the Holocaust in response to his alleged role in the incident, but Khan refused. Instead, the 21 -year -old is raising money for legal defense in Gagondgo.

However, a video that Khan published in X announcing the campaign received a community note after Portnoy played the student’s story of what happened.
Gagondgo’s co -founder Jacob Wells told Pak Gazette Digital that the company will “investigate” the validity of the campaign.
“We want to make sure that the campaigns are as true as possible, so we take the dispute reports seriously, we have our verification team that can take a look, and we would be happy to take a look at this too,” Wells said, admitting that he did not previously know the Portnoy dispute and the community’s note in Khan’s publication.
“It is not our responsibility or work necessarily finding the facts in all campaigns in the nth grade, so there is a balance there, but we will commit ourselves to do our verification process … we will definitely commit ourselves to investigating the campaign as we would do with any other campaign and go to make sure it is sincere, since it can be placed on a platform like ours.”
Wells added that if Khan misrepresented the events prior to his fund collection in the campaign summary, “it could be” reasons for the elimination of the campaign.
“It could be. I hate to make hypothetics because there are many variables in these situations,” Wells said.
“If there are atrocious examples of direct lies in campaign stories, safely, that would definitely be a terms of service violation and something we would seriously consider for elimination.”

Khan said in his video that it had nothing to do with taking the signal to the bar and was simply “informing.” Khan also expressed anti-Israel beliefs in the Perorata.
“Although it had nothing to do with the sign that came out, I don’t know who did it, I know that the sign was provocative because it reminds people of many of the unfair things that Israel is doing throughout the world, which leads me to inform about it,” Khan said, and then added: “Israel kills thousands of people daily!”
Portnoy published Khan’s video again playing Khan and calling the student “a liar.”
“This guy is a flat liar. I talked to him by phone with his friend and they both possessed and cried for that. Then he covered himself after talking to his family,” Portnoy wrote in response to Khan’s publication in X.
Since then, Khan responded to Portnoy in X, disputing the statement of the founder that the student has retained a lawyer and cried on the phone.
The initial community note on Khan’s publication said: “The story is different from the story that originally told Dave Portnoy, to the point where Portnoy called him ‘liar'” and included links to Portnoy’s response and an article by New York post that covers the exchange.
However, the publication seems to have a new community note that indicates a different factor in Khan’s history in relation to the incident.
The new community note now says: “Several incidents of Mo Khan who commit anti -Semitic acts have emerged online, including the launch of rooms in Jewish students from the University of Temple.” The new note includes links to a NBC story Philadelphia about the incident, but that article does not mention any of Khan’s past anti -Semitic behavior.
Even so, the new note also notes that Khan did an interview in a podcast directed by Stew Peters, known for hosting and disseminating anti -Semitic beliefs, including the operation of the “Dontbeajew.com website.
The president of the University of the Temple, John Fry, seemed to condemn Khan’s interview in a statement.
“Yesterday we realized that a student participated in an interview with a personality of the media that has a history of producing extreme anti -Semitic and racist content,” Fry said. “The content of this interview was terrible and deeply offensive. Anti -Semitism is not tolerated in the temple.”
Temple has confirmed that he suspended two students as part of his research on the matter. Khan has said that he has been suspended by the University.
Khan has not been accused of any crime. Philadelphia police He said they were collecting information about the incident earlier for the week.
