Yep. That’s why people like myself asked for and received a refund of our donation to the Scotref campaign in 2021.

I received a full refund from the Scotref “ring-fenced” money. I still have all the emails to prove it.

Absolutely, and just an FYI you can in fact ask for a full refund of any money you donated to this “ring fenced” Scotref fund.
The people that donated to the ring fenced fund were donating to a indyref campaign that might end in Scottish independence They were not donating to election campaigns to see more SNP grifters board the gravy bus The donations were not used for the purpose they were given.

BTW, I received a refund for my donation to the Scotref fund in 2021. I still have all the email correspondence about it. I (along with many others) knew then that something was rotten in the state of Scotland…

Ring Fenced is a legal term and was used to solicit donations from the public. #ScotRef was attracting donations from Yes supporters not just members of the SNP. So this is a simple case of fraud. However further than the criminal offence of fraud is a criminal conspiracy to cover up the fraud which has played out in public and on the record since 2019 when @WingsScotland first started reporting the missing Ring Fenced Funds. Time and again the SNP leadership lied to cover up what has now been claimed by @JohnSwinney as spent on other activities. Conspiracy to defraud has clearly been established.
What has happened in the SNP is a national scandal. Listening to this interview how can anyone seriously say that their finances are transparent? I don’t think genuine concerns are being adequately addressed and this interview really sums that up👇

And it was not just members who paid in. Clearly they don't care enough to notice the makeup of their cash cow. It was indy supporters who chipped in - the branding of the fundraisers was Yes and ref.scot and #scotref backed up by a website and social media posts.

Swinney is ensuring that Sturgeon's mess is his mess by trying to justify the unjustifiable. The 2017 #ScotRef fundraiser was supposed to be "ring-fenced" for an independence referendum. It was very clearly marketed on that basis. He should stop digging.
John Swinney has admitted that the £600,000 independence fighting fund has been spent, stating that it was 'part of the resources available' within the SNP for campaigning 🗣️ 'We just campaigned for Scottish independence at the Scottish Parliament elections'

The SNP's high-profile crowdfunding campaign was hosted on the ref.scot website. Launched in 2017 to raise funds for a second independence referendum, the appeal was widely known as the "#ScotRef" fundraising drive.

Many will recall the #ScotRef fundraising appeal was launched in March 2017 - weeks before Theresa May surprised the country by calling a snap UK general election. The fundraising part of the website was quietly taken down in June that year after the SNP's vote dropped.

Nicola Sturgeon directly fronted the campaign that encouraged independence supporters to contribute. She launched the online fundraising drive—branded as the #ScotRef appeal on 13 March 2017, on the exact same day she formally announced her intentions to pursue a second referendum on Scottish independence.

The devil is in the detail. However the first lie from both @NicolaSturgeon and her husband at the time @PeterMurrell was the promise on camera and in writing that all donations to #ScotRef would be "Ring Fenced" and only spent on the #Indyref2 campaign. 2017. Then years later after all the fraud and embezzlement Nicola Sturgeon tells the media there's no legal requirement to hold any funds in different accounts. 2021. This is untrue "Ring Fenced" is a legal term. @PoliceScotland at the very least should re-open the investigation into Nicola Sturgeon as the evidence is clear she misled the public to donate then signed off the accounts in full knowledge there's no Ring Fenced Funds. Nicola is a trained solicitor so she should know the law?

The Murrell investigation started because of a crowdfunder in 2017 called #ScotRef which specifically asked for funds for an indyref 2 campaign. The whole of the indy movement has been exploited: Swinney presenting it as solely an SNP matter is no good.

'This is an admission of a terrible breach of trust, and an overwhelming betrayal by the man entrusted to be the party's chief executive.' Scotland's FM John Swinney holds a news conference, following the former SNP chief executive's guilty plea trib.al/qDB4rFk

Another Westminster opinion poll showing a clear difference between Scottish and English political aspirations. Scotland doesn’t want nor deserve a Reform UK Government. Democracy must be respected and we must be allowed to decide our own future. #IndyRef #ScotRef #VoteSNP

They regurgitate this every year and rearrange the words 🙄 Whatever happened to the ‘Summer of Independence’ and ‘ScotRef’? 🤦‍♂️
The SNP conference has backed a motion calling on the UK Government to prepare for independence as Scotland exits an “abusive relationship”. holyrood.com/news/view,snp-c…
