1. Background: Jason Donald Nassr and Prior Conduct
Between approximately 2015 and 2020, Jason Donald Nassr operated an online vigilante project known as CreeperHunterTV, presenting himself as a child-protection advocate while monetizing confrontation-based media content.
In February 2023, an Ontario court convicted Nassr of:
- harassment by telecommunications,
- extortion, and
- production and distribution of child pornography.
These convictions are referenced solely as contextual background, because:
- the prior operation was media-based and monetized, and
- HelpUsDefend and 65square later emerged from the same audience, branding logic, and public persona.
2. HelpUsDefend as Documented in the CreeperHunterTV Investigation
The original investigation documented that HelpUsDefend was presented publicly as a child-protection nonprofit but was alleged by critics and complainants to function as:
- a fundraising vehicle,
- a reputational rehabilitation project, and
- a continuation of the CreeperHunterTV ecosystem under institutional branding.
Documented allegations include:
- fabricated team members and leadership identities,
- stock photography used to represent staff,
- emotionally charged narratives to solicit donations,
- failure to provide transparency when challenged, and
- ignored complaints alleging deceptive fundraising.
This report does not determine the truth of those allegations; it records them as unresolved warning indicators.
2.1 Website-Verified Identity and Transparency Indicators
Independent review of HelpUsDefend.com shows:
- Founder described as “Dermott M.” rather than a fully identifiable individual
- Board, committee, and team members often listed by first name only
- A committee list including an individual identified only as “Jason”
These features are relevant to assessing verifiability, accountability, and donor understanding.
PART II — TRANSITION TO FORMAL STRUCTURES
3. Structural Shift Following Exposure and Conviction
Following public scrutiny and criminal proceedings, the ecosystem transitioned from:
- individual media activity
to:
- nonprofit incorporation (HelpUsDefend / DEFEND),
- structured fundraising programs, and
- later, for-profit platform development (65square).
This sequencing is relevant to continuity and intent analysis.

PART IV — FUNDRAISING MECHANISMS & PROGRAM-LEVEL MONETIZATION
This section documents how HelpUsDefend collected funds, beyond simple donations.
6. Direct Monetary Donations
- Donations accepted via Stripe
- One-time and recurring monthly subscriptions
- Donor tiers offering recognition and access
Investigative relevance: recurring subscriptions create predictable revenue streams akin to membership or patronage models.
7. Donor Incentives and Media-Linked Benefits
Donor benefits include:
- public acknowledgment,
- credits in YouTube videos,
- early access to content and projects,
- merchandise.
Significance: ties charitable donations directly to media production and personal brand amplification, rather than clearly delineated charitable programming.
8. Crowdfunding for Commercial Platform (65square)
HelpUsDefend publicly promoted:
- Indiegogo crowdfunding campaigns for 65square
- Statements that donations “as little as $5” help build the platform
Risk indicator: fundraising for a for-profit commercial asset through a nonprofit brand raises questions of:
- private benefit,
- related-party transactions,
- donor misapprehension.
9. Fundraising Events & Participation Targets
The organization promoted:
- fundraising events,
- donation-based participation thresholds (e.g., participants expected to raise specific amounts).
CRA relevance: events can be legitimate, but require:
- proper receipting,
- expense vs. revenue accounting,
- transparency regarding use of proceeds.
10. In-Kind Donations and Raffles
HelpUsDefend solicited:
- items of value,
- raffle prizes,
- even real property (land).
The site states donated items may be raffled to generate funds.
Investigative relevance:
- valuation challenges,
- potential private benefit,
- asset diversion risks.
11. Program-Based Fundraising Narratives
HelpUsDefend promoted multiple “programs” that function as donation drivers, including:
- online safety initiatives,
- education and advocacy efforts,
- specialized teams (including a “MAPs Team”),
- platform-development framed as harm-prevention.
Key issue: programs are described broadly, with limited evidence of independent outputs, staffing verification, or third-party oversight.
12. Training, Media, and Volunteer Funnels
The ecosystem promotes:
- volunteer recruitment,
- online collaboration,
- weekly meetings across global teams,
- training-style engagement tied to media production.
Risk factor: volunteer labor and donated funds may be used to support:
- content creation,
- platform development,
- brand maintenance tied closely to Jason Nassr’s public persona.
PART V — GOVERNANCE, CONTROL, AND RESPONSIVENESS
13. Family-Based Governance
- Father (nonprofit director)
- Brother and brother-in-law (for-profit directors)
- Jason Nassr as public founder and authorized declarant
14. Director Non-Responsiveness
- Three nonprofit directors unreachable
- No response from official organization email to governance inquiries
PART VI — OWNERSHIP & REPRESENTATION RISKS
15. Ownership Claims
The website states:
- 65square is “wholly owned” by the nonprofit
- profits return to “our team”
No supporting shareholder or securities records were located.
PART VII — CLAIM vs RECORD vs EVIDENCE NEEDED
| Claim | Record | Evidence Needed |
| Donations support charitable programs | Donations fund media & platform dev | Program budgets, outcomes |
| No private benefit | Family governance + media linkage | Bank records, expense logs |
| 65square owned by nonprofit | No share register found | Share certificates |
| Volunteers support charity | Volunteers tied to content | Role descriptions |
| Programs are bona fide | Broad narratives only | Independent verification |
PART VIII — FINANCIAL-FLOW & PERSONAL BENEFIT HYPOTHESIS
(Clearly labeled — not a finding)
Given:
- centralized public control,
- family-based governance,
- multiple fundraising streams,
- donations tied to media and platform development,
investigators may reasonably examine whether HelpUsDefend functioned as a financial conduit supporting:
- personal brand maintenance,
- platform development under related-party control, or
- indirect personal benefit.
FINAL CONCLUSION
This report documents a complete and continuous risk picture:
- prior monetized misconduct (context),
- alleged nonprofit deception,
- expansive fundraising mechanisms,
- weak governance and accountability,
- family-controlled corporate structures,
- and limited transparency regarding use of funds.
Together, these elements establish reasonable grounds for police and CRA to investigate whether HelpUsDefend has been used primarily as a funding and support vehicle for Jason Nassr’s personal or related-party purposes, rather than exclusively for charitable ends.
No findings of guilt are made.
The report documents why deeper scrutiny is warranted
