Human Rights Foundation's Bitcoin & Ukraine Scam

While doing research about the Texas Bitcoin Foundation txbitcoinfoundation.org https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5433634.0 and Brock Priece's bitcoinfoundation.org https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5433637.0 scam I stumbled upon a website called hrf.org that claims to be a "Human Rights" Foundation asking for Bitcoin donations.

A little bit of Googling reveals that hrf.org started asking for Bitcoin in 2018 December and I was able to track down two Bitcoin address in Internet Archive that shows very small donations, however I see news articles mainly originating from Alex Gladstein https://twitter.com/gladstein about millions of dollars of "support for Bitcoin development".

The most intriguing aspect is that Brock Pierce has donated millions of dollars to thefire.org, which was founded by Thor Halvorssen Mendoza, who is also the founder of hrf.org.

It should be noted that Thor Halvorssen Mendoza has been accused of being a pedophile child molester and a con artist.

I found a donation page made by hrf.org at https://hrf.kindful.com/?campaign=1184760 that mentions operationsunflower.com which is now a private site but on a copy of it is still available in Internet Archive shows that hrf.org scammed people out of Bitcoin in the name of "Ukraine Aid".
