Here's what you said (at the risk of sounding like I'm "nit-picking":

That, and the fact that you accused him of lying. I have yet to see any information that shows he's not using it for living expenses and legal fees.

Sorry you didn't like it being pointed out, but now you're the one nit-picking. Go back and reread what I've written and you'll see that not only is that not "all I've got", it's not what I've even been talking about. You seem to focus in on things that are said that you can argue, and ignore the rest.

My point was, and is still, he also said living expenses. Nothing has shown that's not what he's using it for.

You have nothing to show that he "was really interested in using it for his living expenses" (if, by that, you mean only for his living expenses). There's little doubt in my mind that he used some of that money for his bond. As far as you being "bothered", I don't see how you can say that's "unfounded". You're on here calling him a weasel, and claiming he lied. What has he used the money for besides living expenses and legal fees?

Before you jump on the credit card issue, I'll say this. If I knew I was going to be unemployed for a long period of time, I would consider paying off credit card debt (and any other outstanding debt) to be part of paying "living expenses".

You and I neither one give the guy a dime - I'm curious, who out there that did feels he has lied and taken their money under false pretenses? Maybe if we hear from some of his donors that would shed some light on whether this "lie" accusation is legitimate, or just more of your rant against the "weasel".

What was the money donated for? Do you remember the simple web site that was put up? Can't say that I do, other than I remember it was very sparse on details as to what it was to be used for...
