Overview

• The diogojotafoundation.org site, created three days after Jota’s death, went offline on August 22 with visitors redirected to a domain host page.
• Liverpool FC and Jota’s family said they had no knowledge of the appeal, which claimed £47,715 in donations as of August 21.
• Logos for UNICEF, Allianz and other groups appeared on the site, but organisations said no partnerships existed, with Allianz pursuing takedown steps.
• The site routed donors to a crypto payment flow via NOWPayments, whose CEO said no transactions were processed and services were halted once concerns arose.
• The Charity Commission confirmed no registration application was filed, as officials and affected organisations continue inquiries and Liverpool points fans to LFC Foundation initiatives for verified giving.
