Expose: U.S. government fraud influencer Nick Shirley announces cryptocurrency donation address, currently raising over $40,000

BlockBeats News, December 30 – Former world boxing champion and billionaire Andrew Tate announced that he will make a donation to expose government fraud in the United States. The recipient, influencer Nick Shirley, has publicly shared Bitcoin and Ethereum donation addresses. As of press time, his Bitcoin address has received $308 in donations, while Ethereum and its EVM networks (mainly BSC) have received over $44,000, mostly from transaction fees related to meme coins. Nick Shirley is a 23-year-old content creator known for on-the-ground street interviews and investigative reporting, with nearly 530,000 followers. Recently, Nick Shirley gained rapid popularity after exposing a welfare fraud case in Minnesota. He and his team visited multiple daycare centers and autism treatment facilities operated by the Somali community in Minnesota. The investigation revealed many locations were empty, poorly equipped, or clearly not providing the claimed services (such as autism treatment), yet they received large sums through government medical assistance programs, exposing over $110 million in suspected fraud in one day. His 42-minute investigative video quickly went viral, and tweets praising his actions were shared by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, Elon Musk, and other politicians and KOLs.
