Please Mary, even though I don't expect him to respond,SI_BOB and his CIA buddies are up to this, no doubt. SI_BOB is going back, changing posts on orders from... Clearly SI_BOB, if that is his real name, is doing stuff. I mean that, SI_BOB has been known to do stuff in the past, did I mention the whole fake Moon landing thing. Oh yes, I did, didn't I. Funds not being able to be wired? Funny, this poster was able to wire the funds with just a little effort right at the time of need. Notice the date of the post the same Date of the 23rd as you mentioned when account was started. Message 9107492 Better read that before SI_Bob and his band of G-Men come along and wipe out that post. And also notice that 23 is a prime number, do you see it now, it not divisible by anything but itself and one, and one has 3 letters in it which is the same as the second number in 23, divisible by 2 numbers, which match the 2 in 23.....OHHH YESSSS, this is clear now. This IS THE TICKET! Weeks before any of this happened, people on the thread were donating to another charity, I actually got a letter from this so called charity. It just a matter of time before the force of SI_BOB come and remove this message I wrote at the time, soon enough not of it would have ever happened, it will be be deleted, erased by the the Black Helicopter dudes. Message 8924479 Its SI_BOB, the CIA, and the G-Men, they are editing history, read the post before they get it. Its a big massive, government funded, SI_BOB enabled Conspiracy to gain enough funds to buy a fully loaded 5-year old Chrysler Minivan. By golly!!!! It's just wrong, wrong I tell you, what will it take to stop this. BTW FWIW, I tremble when I hear the name SI_BOB, I am told he has the web surfing skills of 3 zit-faced teenagers. Yes we should respect SI_BOB, but more importantly --Fear BOB.

I want to make one thing clear concerning the questions of "where" the donated money went... I think Tony had sincere and good intentions when he went about raising the money. I believe he felt for the refugees and wanted to help them. I don't doubt his passion in this matter. I have questions about what happened when Tony actually got the money in his hands. What did he do with the money? I don't think this is unreasonable considering Tony's shady history when it comes to making the "right" decisions about what to do with other peoples money, and frankly him claiming he's suddenly a "good guy" and spent it on charity does not cut it with me... While I've known Tony he's been a funny guy, a witty guy and a guy I'd like to have a beer with now and then. But not ever a trustworthy guy IMO. Not a guy I'd ever want handling my money. Tony and I have had our public battles in the past, and every "problem" I've had with Tony stemmed from my belief he was taking advantage of other people or significantly miss-representing the truth. The issue I have here stems from the same concern, and unfortunately those close to him don't have the guts to admit this situation has a stench to it. He likes to intimidate, manipulate and when he's wrong - it's not his fault. He's always the "poor little victim". Well to that I say BullShyte. I have had many messages thanking me for standing up to Tony on this matter and many messages suggesting that questioning him on this issue is making me "unpopular", causing me to lose credibility. To this second group of people - I want you to know, I have never been in this business to be popular, just to stand behind the truth. And no, I'm not a saint, I just refuse to stand silently when the facts in a matter are so different from the story someone is trying to feed me... When a guy claims he's going to collect a bunch of money and help a charity with it I say great. When the guy has a history of taking advantage of people and ripping people off, I say "please prove what you did with the money" When the answer to my request is aggressive personal attacks and "I don't have to prove anything". I say there's a problem till proven otherwise. There should be a clear paper trail of what happened to the money. A trail showing what amount of money Tony gave out in Macedonia and what he spent helping people in San Diego. Tony claims he's a newborn saint, IMO any ethical person who is questioned about what happened to charity donations would go the extra mile proving where every dime went. Why won't Tony? You may recall how eager Tony was to post a receipt showing he had "given" away thousands of dollars in Macedonia, but when it was proven the receipt was nothing more than Tony asking the Mother Thereza charity guy to sign a document - without having any evidence Tony really gave out the money.... I say, I've seen that con before. I also say, if he was so eager to show us some "questionable", unconfirmable receipt, why not show us the REAL bank records and Travelers check records showing he took X money out of the bank just before the trip, or bought X amount of Travelers checks? His silence is deafening and his "poor pitiful me" victim routine is getting old.
