The guy has go-to-hell money. He did not participate in this venture in order to get more money.

I have read in comments (yes, anonymous) that Go-Fund-Me changed the rules on them, and they had to go through a nonprofit entity in order to get the $ already collected released, and

that at least one person got notice and an opportunity to get a refund.

I cannot verify either claim, but the claims should be readily verifiable through public records.

Read the indictment & as it reads seems clear he did something wrong. But that's how an indictment typically reads..

I'm reserving full judgement till more comes to light to determine whether he's truly guilty. Along with Kolfage, Badolato & Shea.
