Internal Strife at America's Frontline Doctors: Simone Gold Accused of Misusing $$$
https://www.medpagetoday.com/special-reports/exclusives/101640 ^

Posted on 11/20/2022 12:19:31 PM PST by GulliverSwift

America's Frontline Doctors is in a nasty fight with its "rogue" founder, Simone Gold, MD, JD, alleging she used AFLDS funds to buy a $3.6 million home in Florida and three cars, including a Mercedes Benz and a GMC Denali, for personal use.

In a 20-page complaint filed in Florida's U.S. Middle District Court on November 4, AFLDS board chair and COO Joseph Gilbert and affiliated company Free Speech Foundation claimed that Gold used the organization's funds "without authorization or approval" from the AFLDS board.

The complaint asks the court for injunctive relief to restrain Gold from using its funds for personal use, interfering with donors, employees and operations, defaming Gilbert and other AFLDS associates, and "fraudulently holding herself out as a representative, employee, officer, and director" and "illegally asserting control" over its electronic and information technology systems.

The complaint claims that in November 2021, Gold used "AFLDS charitable funds to purchase a $3.6 million home in Naples, Florida for her personal rent-free use, and at least three vehicles and has otherwise used AFLDS funds to resource her personal lifestyle and expenses since she formed AFLDS."

Plaintiffs also allege that Gold "currently lives in this home with John Strand, rent free." Strand is a former underwear model and boyfriend of Gold's who was arrested with her in connection with the January 6, 2021 insurrection in the U.S. Capitol. She moved with Strand to Florida this year from Los Angeles, where she had been an emergency room physician.

Strand allegedly was paid $10,000 per month as an AFLDS employee and allegedly spent $15,000 to $17,000 a month using those credit cards. He was terminated from AFLDS in summer 2022, according to the complaint.

Hope that it’s not true.

Smells like lawfare to me.

The usual procedure when the Establishment wants to "take out" an inconvenient person.

Seems very easy to prove if the underwear model boyfriend was on the payroll or not. If he wasn’t, the suit would’ve been thrown out instantly.

This lawsuit is by the organization trying to keep carrying out its intended mission after Gold tried to use it to subsidize her own business.

You would think a doctor would not do such stupid stuff, but some people just can’t live within their means. If true, it’s a terrible breach of trust and much more.

AFLDS has been operating a scam since they started defrauding numerous customers:

Gold has always had a con artist vibe to her. So I wasn’t surprised to see that she was absconding with money like this.

It’s a horrible problem within a lot of conservative organizations. There were so many “Tea Party” groups which just lined their executives’ pockets.

People want to support real work to attack the establishment but instead the money keeps getting flushed down the toilet.

Didn’t she start the organization? I think they were great for informing us of healthier Covid treatments. I hope there is no misuse of funds going on.

She was one of several people involved early on. But then she decided to start another for-profit business. She’s accused of using AFLDS money to give her new company free employees, of hiring her unqualified boyfriend, and using donor money to buy herself a mansion.

You might want to cite some other publications to support your opinion. All three are hack publications.

It’s nice to be vindicated isn’t. Remember all the abuse at daring to mention Gold and the organization was full of quackery. And now we find our exactly as predicted. Another worshipped doctor of the Q caught in show me the money instead of actually being a doctor.

I will wait for the the troika of power in Q land to show up. We have already seen one of their disciples show and say it’s lawfare. Hysterical

Gold was a quack from the get. It was obvious to us —ahem— real doctors. Turns out Gold is the shill.

I wonder if there will be apologies forthcoming.

The whole anti-vax movement is a $$$ play. Most of the anti-vaxxers I know are actually vaxxed. I know because they traveled when passports were required.

I also have friends who are huge Trump evangelicals and there is quite a bit of $$$ involved in that especially in the Prophecy area.

Smear one, smear all.

That's the name of that game.

See post #7 & #12 on this very thread.

A blanket smear - I think Nazi Pelosi calls it a "wrap-up smear".

Man, hear I was thinking Pfizer and Moderna were making money. Glad to hear its just the people who think forced vaccines are like every other government forced item.
Better to not wait out new tech for two generations of general population testing and just rush in and do what we are tolld.
I would be first in line for polio vax… not many others and def not an RNA resp virus.

I hope this goes to trial. One of these parties is lying. We need to find out.

All three of these articles are from 2021.

It is a good thing I didn’t see them for the first time until now.

Otherwise, I might not have reached out to AFLDS in January 2022 when my S.O. and I had Covid and gotten Ivermectin and Zithro from them and some advice on what over the counter teas and supplements to use.

The really weird thing is that not only did I get through the Covid and not get any ill effects from what was prescribed, other than a somewhat scary colon cleanse effect that I had been warned about, but now I feel better and younger than I have since I actually was young.
