The “water charities” in point 8 of https://tiffanyfitzhenry.com/2019/07/08/cameron-boyce-pedowood-and-the-disney-death-machine/
got me to thinking about the 2007 brutal murder of Raymond Diener, a wonderful man that worked to get clean water to the 3rd world. Our families were friends. Was this a hit job to make more room for DS antics? Grrrr.

My guess would be yes.
I am suspicious of nearly all charities. I think many were created as a cover for DS activities and for laundering money and/or fleecing it from honest donors. But I think there are plenty of charities that were started by decent, honest people who were trying to do good things. In those cases, I believe that any time the DS saw an opportunity to take it over and use it for their purposes they did.
I look at all of these things in a different light now.
My sympathy to you and all who knew Mr. Diener.
