€120,000 of that was for that US tourist assaulted off Talbot Street. But his son kept the money it seems.

So then the [tourist set up a second GoFundMe](https://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/us-tourist-assaulted-in-dublin-sets-up-second-gofundme-amid-disagreement-with-son-1526901.html) where he raised …… $260.

You really have to cash in during those 15 minutes of fame.
