I cannot vouch for credibility of the source. It's not clear if the "forum" in which he will explain is Camping radio "Open Forum" or not

Darn it, he forgot to carry the one! It’s actually going to occur on May 21, 2021! Yep, that’s the ticket!

Unless he publicly apologizes and repents for his sin of presumption - and donates the $100mm he’s sitting on to actual worthy causes - then nothing he says is worth hearing.

That silly old man named Camping,
Must now spent his hours revamping,
His rapture predictions
That must be depictions
To the real one that right now is ramping!

[...] the $100mm hes sitting on [...] I thought they maintained a cash-poor operation.

...then nothing he says is worth hearing.. But Camping is such an enlightened man... if we define enlightenment as the ability to separate fools from their money. (/sarc)
To: Gondring
Not according to their IRS filings.

The “forum” in which he needs to worry about “explaining himself” is the one that will take place with God immediately after his death, which, at 89, isn’t far away.

Not according to their IRS filings. Their 2009 IRS filing shows $1.5 million in cash.

The penalty for false prophecy, is capital punishment (per Deuteronomy 18:20).
"But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death."
Or a position within the Dimocrat party

Their 2009 IRS filing shows $1.5 million in cash. And $34 million in public traded securities, nearly $57 million in other assets that are not land or buildings.
A total of $104.8 million in assets. Hardly a shoestring operation.

To: Gondring
Their 2009 IRS filing shows $1.5 million in cash. It also shows $35mm in investments in securities and $56mm in other tangible assets.
So, he's sitting on $92.5mm and not $100mm.
To: thackney
Exactly - $36mm in cash and liquid securities is hardly "cash-poor."
To: don-o
$10 says this clown will claim he just did it to test peoples faith or raise their awareness or some such lame claim.

Like I said, a cash-poor operation.
To me, "sitting on" implies a lack of use, and revenue these investments and other assets are employed to offset expenses, and, even then, only to a small extent compared to the total expenses. Most of the revenue is donations.
It's unclear from IRS filings what portion of those assets are actually employed in the business operations, but I think that our difference is in what is meant by "sitting on" them. I wouldn't say that a business that owns employee desks is just "sitting on" those assets. The chairs, however.... ;-)
