"last week saw lots of rich moms selling girl scout cookies with their daughters, mom doing all the "work." Is that fraud?"

Good strawman.

Of course, girl scout money goes to the Girl Scouts, and not the parents or the kids. Whereas, the money collected from this kickstarter goes into Mom's pocket.

So they aren't really he same at all. Of course you knew that.

The moms told me that about 20% goes to the Girl Scouts and the troop keeps 80%.

The local Girl Scout troop. ie: a local branch of the Girl Scouts. That changes absolutely nothing about my criticism of your post.
