CALGARY — A GoFundMe campaign for a 37-year-old cyclist who says he was clotheslined by barbed wire strung across a riding trail has been suspended and the organization says it is investigating complaints. After only $851 was raised, the campaign was closed and GoFundMe tells CTV Calgary the money has been put on hold. RCMP have said they are investigating the trail incident and have asked the public for help locating Psaroudakis’s bike. Rachel Hollis of GoFundMe says when any fundraising campaign receives complaints, the funds are put on hold until additional information is provided by the campaign organizer. “It’s important to remember that our platform is backed by the GoFundMe Guarantee, which means that we guarantee the money goes to the right place,” Hollis says.
