How is this not charity fraud?

If I donate to earthquake victims, I expect at least a portion of my donation to end up in the hands of earthquake victims.

If I donate whole blood to help those with medical needs, then I expect at least a portion of my donation to end up in the bloodsteam of someone with a genuine medical need.

The US has outlawed paid whole blood donations, so EVERY whole blood donation in the US is an act of charity.

It's unlikely the blood banks involved have made any misrepresentations.

It'd be interesting to see what Ambrosia told the blood banks though.
