First, you ask for money,
Then, I call in and say that I'll send in a bunch of money (pledge),
Then, no actual money comes in (oops)...
That's the Paul story...that and the totally loony thing.
Except that these were actual donations rather than pledges, as has also been debunked 500 times.
They are not pledges. They are actual money - well FRN’s anyway.
