In July 2017, a financial dispute with an advertising firm forced Snopes to seeking crowd-sourced funding. They raised $500,000 on their first day. Also, it has been alleged that Mikkelson has been embezzling company funds to spend on personal expenses and [[prostitute]]s. <ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4730092/Snopes-brink-founder-accused-fraud-lying.html 'Fact checking' website Snopes on verge of collapse after founder is accused of fraud, DialiyMail, July 26, 2017]</ref>

===[[Dana Loesch]] incident===
In March 2018, having been abusively targeted on Twitter indirectly by liberal activists who couldn't meet her arguments on the issues (like David Hogg, who claimed she "controlled" the NRA), radio host and [[2nd Amendment]] advocate [[Dana Loesch]] joined with other targets of abuse of free speech to warn that they would watch and report on the [[Oscars]] for slights and more serious verbal attacks on America's supporters and its sovereignty.
Brooke Binkowsky, managing editor of Snopes, unprofessionally made an unsolicited reply with a deliberate (and inaccurate) personal slight from her Twitter account with no informational value and surely none regarding fact-checking or targeted harassment of those expressing faithfulness to their country, rather only making a "statement" of her immaturity by joining in on the abuse.<ref>J., Sam (March 5, 2018).
