As they went back and forth, a number of Twitter users — led in part by right-wing blogger Charles C. Johnson — began insisting that the fundraiser was a scam and demanding it be halted.

CCJ is obviously a douche, but not clear how or what he did here got the money locked up. Sounds like King et al should have gotten in touch with the Rice family and their lawyers before or soon after the fund raising started.

I saw yesterday that other activists connected to the events in Ferguson were trying to raise money for the family, who are now apparently in a homeless shelter.
