Unrest continues unabated at DU early this morning. The rebels post them, the Mods lock'em down. Who will be first to call for action from the United Nations?

So ... how can fundraising for others on DU be done smarter?
Edited on Wed May-18-05 02:20 AM by FlemingsGhost
Is it possible we should simply refrain from the activity all together?
This topic should be discussed by ... well, the people who want to donate money to others. No? Then it should be presented to DU for approval.
It is OUR money, after all.
So, let's embark on a fruitful discussion as to what we are going to do with OUR money, when "gathered" at a site, that hmmmmm ... some folks are donating to, as well.
How should we spend OUR money? Let's use the site that also relies on OUR money, to sort it out.
m'kay?

oh and one more point..while certainly one can arrange better next time such as a trust account..you all are gonna be pretty fucking embarrassed with these pithy threads about OUR MONEY if Andy drops dead in the near future.
Just a little food for thought.
bookmark for tomorrow. Nite all
Marking for morning. Night all!
Just a lil bookmark for tomorrow, don't let anything too exciting happen while I'm asleep. ;)

oops, sorry about the double post.
Do you have a link to CU or the address of the thread? What is CU? Pardon my ignorance.
Just checking in, I've been pretty much concentrating on the timeline today when I've had time to sit down at my computer...thanks everyone for all the links & research. I'll post the new and improved timeline in the morning.
Please send money now! I'm just $10.00 away from completing an updated timeline...as soon as I get YOUR ten dollars, I will definitely be able to get all the information in need./sarcasm.

Wicked Kitten hacked? I was looking thru the DU photos at wicked kitten as it was hacked.
MrScorpio at DU had earlier posted a link to it and some comments were made but the thread was deleted. I'm thinking somebody from DU hacked it.
"Wicked Kitten is temporarily down for a redesign. Seems some folks didn't like it the way it was. We'll fix it. Back soon."

Got it thanks! Have also googled and dogpiled to add to the list.

Actually, I think it's the boyfriend who's doing the talking. Pitt has a massive ego and is way too arrogant, but his reputation matters a great deal to him and I think he's basically an honest person. Andy is classic a sociopath and wouldn't find it too hard to draw someone like Will in to his sad story. Crusader for voter rights and paper ballots, gives up a good job and a business to get involved a noble cause. Along the way he's duped by an evil Black Box Dominatrix Hustler and no sooner does he extract himself from that, then he finds he's got cancer. And not just any cancer, but a particularly vicious and aggressive variety that very few doctors in the country know how to treat. Here's Pitt who's starting to get some name recognition and clout...what better way to cement his reputation than to be a champion for a very sick (possibly dying) man who's practically worshipped in the circles they both travel in.
Andy wouldn't have to let him in on the scam because Will would be all too eager to chronicle Andy's plight. When he gets suspicious, Andy just throws him a bone (a medical bill, CAT Scan, etc.) and Will is back in the fold...except that little pieces keep falling off of Andy's facade, certain things don't add up and then the post today just blew away the last of his illusions. I'm not sure that he would know enough of the details to be Andy's "Deep Throat" (pun intended).
Sfexpat is too far gone into Andyland for it to be her...she'd follow him off a cliff. The only way it could be her is if her husband isn't part of the Andyscam Fan Club and found out about it and forced her to go to the authorities. Sfexpat wants desperately to be SOMEBODY and she's willing to do whatever she has to to achieve it. Notice she says her husband is in the "entertainment" business, NOT that he's a clown. She hints at being a big fish in the little pond where she lives. She would be easy for Andy to manipulate...he was probably even able to convince her this scam was okay.
Now the boyfriend, he's kind of in the shadows, but so far the only things I've heard about him have led me to believe he's a pretty responsible guy who probably loves Andy and has put up with a lot over the years (maybe even ignoring most of it), though Andy's probably never done anything of this magnitude. I have a very dear friend I've known forever (he's also gay and lives in Seattle, so if it weren't for the 20 years, I'd wonder if Andy's partner wasn't my buddy). My friend is very responsible, very sweet, hates the bar scene and sings in the Seattle Men's Choir for recreation. But when it comes to men, he might as well wear a sign that says "only psychos need apply". He's been involved with some real losers over the years...but is completely blind to what everyone else can see, until the jerk does something so outrageous he can't ignore it. I think that's the situation Andy's boyfriend is in. I can see him confiding in Pitt and Pitt advising him to go to the authorities or even Pitt going with him, but I just think it has to be someone who knows Andy better than Will. I don't think Andy would trust will enough yet to let him in on his little scheme.

All day at work today I'll be wondering what's going on. Yesterday I was stuck in a traffic jam (even turned the engine off for a while) and I kept thinking I need a way to stay in touch while working.
you a way with words.
Wow.
December 23, 2004.
That is an EARLIER one than I have ever seen--which means Andy was raising funds about a month earlier than I had thought (January 2005). But that one gives no reason why he needs funds (although we all can reasonably guess).
