Alfalfa, star of 'The Little Rascals', refuses to return $26,000 in excess donations: It's a gift from God

Days after going viral on social media for asking for money to support his family and welcome his sixth child, Brandon ‘Bug’ Hall, famous for his role as Alfalfa in The Little Rascals, is being accused of fraud and has been asked to return the funds collected.

A few days ago, the former actor turned to a GoFundMe account to ask for $2,000 needed for the birth of his sixth child and the construction of his new home in Arkansas. After having raised more than $26,000, the people who helped him and his followers are now demanding that he return the money and are accusing him of committing fraud.

According to internet users, Brandon was asking for donations from people claiming his children's needs for the winter, even though he took a vow of poverty a few years ago along with his wife, which means he promised to live without riches, with humility, and only working in case of financial necessity.

In a statement he made after raising more than $26,000, the former child star said that the support he received was “a gift from God” and that he will not return anything, adding that the money would be used for him and his family.

Internet users, beyond the family needs or religious beliefs he alleges, point out that the former actor promised to close the fundraiser once it reached $2,000; however, he continued asking for money until the figure multiplied.

In an interview, Brandon noted that GoFundMe would close and block the petition once it reached its goal, but that did not happen and, on the contrary, he continued to receive money, which was to be transferred to him five days after the organization finished verifying the donation.

“If that whole situation hadn't happened, I would have come out of all of this with $2,000 and would have been happy. I wasn't going to be greedy and say that I needed money for a tractor, a sawmill, or all the other things I need to get started,” he noted in an interview with Page Six.

He added that the fact that GoFundMe did not close the donations was by “God's will” and that he will not return a single dollar for that reason: “It never occurred to me to think what would happen if there was a surplus. I will certainly accept this as a gift from God and as a blessing from all the people who, for whatever reason, wanted to bless me.”

“I have a habit of doing what I believe is right in any circumstance, regardless of whether it is advantageous or not. But in this situation, I never said anything about cost overruns because I never considered that possibility,” he noted, reaffirming that he will keep the donations.

And he added: “This money means a radical change in the life of the vast majority of Americans. And with the life I have chosen, it is for me as well.”

In the same interview, he recalled his vow of poverty and detailed that it was made in a secular manner, without a religious justification, and that he would only work to cover specific needs.

Furthermore, he detailed that he made the decision to live with few resources after relapsing into drugs and reflecting on his life and legacy after finishing work on a project with Netflix more than 6 years ago.

Regarding his financial situation and his low income, Hall said that he does not have a number in mind for the children he wants to have and hinted that he could continue having them, since he believes, as a Christian, that the goal of living as a couple is to raise children and the main obligation in a marriage “is to have children.”
