It’s how a lot of the alt-Left people are getting “paid” to attend these. A lot like Dem voters, there’s a lot of cash on hand for “walk around money” and paying actors, etc. It gets gas, food and an AirBNB paid for so the jobless critters can get to where they are needed.
That’s where the ‘stimulus’ money disappeared to.
Every single payment out of this organization should be audited, and all of the recipients should be audited as well. Let’s see how many people are actually paying taxes on this money.
Oh, and if the organization is not giving them a 1099 or W-2, then it is a massive conspiracy to violate the tax law. So whatever other trouble they might be in, they will also end up with the IRS crawling up their nether regions.
