I'll wait until the dust settles, and then we'll see who had the HUGE PROBLEM.
With donations, people do “due diligence” before the give money not after, and they find out details, such as what is the overhead of the “middleman” (like does only 10% go to the recipient) and they find out if there is a track record (has this been done before and what was the outcome). These things are called SCAMS on the Internet because they are do darned easy to pull off and then people’s money is gone ... and gone for something the donor never intended.
