This is a call I made today (4/29/09) to the Sick Kids’ Hospital regarding PCS’s recent fraud. The Administrator there seemed highly upset with this, and promised something would DEFINITELY be done.Categories

This is disgusting. …
This is disgusting. If he made the claim that he would hand any donations over $500 to the hospital, then that’s exactly what he should have done.
There is no excuse for this. He defrauded the public. He should be prosecuted. At the very least he should give all of the money he owes over to the hospital.

I think YouTube may have lost the first half of this comment.

If, OTOH, he was effectively saying “if you want me to keep the money, please include a note to that effect wih your donation”, then arguably he was trying to be helpful and make sure people’s money went where they wanted it to go, albeit in a very self-interested manner.
(Yeah, you probably deal with all this in your series. *takes out whip*)
Kudos to you for taking action though. It needs investigating.

“he apparently …
“he apparently receiveed a number of donations in which the donor specifically asked Shawn to keep the money for himself. ”
In another part of this series (I forget which one) I address this. There was only ONE person who did that, for about $15 I think it was? – and since then, he was e-mailing people, TELLING them to ASK him not to donate their money. *rolls eyes @ PCS*

P.S. I’m an atheist who thinks VFX is a tool, so believe me, my defence does not spring from any affection I have towards him.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
What, then, was …
What, then, was Shawn obliged to hand over to Sick Kids?
Any amount he received over $500 in any month, but with all those donations which told him to keep the money himself being excluded from the calculations. Oh yeah, and – obviously – any donations explcitly earmarked for Sick Kids.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Apparently, this …
Apparently, this initially showed how much Shawn had received in the current month. However, when donations started coming in with “keep it yourself” messsages, I believe he took the actual figure off the site.
Anyone who donated money to the site after that would not know whether or not his/her donation would go to Shawn or Sick Kids, so must be presumed as not being that bothered whether their money went to Shawn or to Sick Kids.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
include them in …
include them in calculating whether or not he’d reached his $500 monthly limit. The regulation of charity fundraising is partly aimed at protecting the public from fraud and it is a fundamental aspect of charity law that the donor’s wishes should be respected. Shawn is not himself a charity, so was not obliged to keepd donations earmarked for his own use, but he was entitled to.
The only issue I can see is with the donations tally on his (now defunct) website.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
Essentially, …
Essentially, Shawn’s fundraising scheme was to keep the first $500 raised in evey month for himself, and to give any surplus to Sick Kids. However, he apparently receiveed a number of donations in which the donor specifically asked Shawn to keep the money for himself.
I think he was entitled to treat these donations as having been given outside the terms of his fundraising scheme. Not only was he not obliged to give any part of those donations to Sick Kids, I don’t think he was obliged to…

In partial defence …
In partial defence of Shawn: fom what I’ve read and heard about VFX’s “fundraising scheme”, I don’t think it’s entirely clear that he’s done anything wrong.
I’ll say now that I’m an English lawyer, so whilst English and Canadian trust/charity law have a common ancestor (couldn’t resist the evo ref), they may now be sufficiently different for my analysis to be totally wrong.

so what’s the story on this?
I’ve only just today been tipped on this Venomfang guy, and I’ve been sitting on youtube for hours now, looking up on all I can find about this case.
Have you heard any updates or feedback on the case regarding the money fraud?
August 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
None of it is …
None of it is deleted. I’ll leave it all here for all the world to see what a retarded little you are. You are the one who deleted your own comment.
I think the community can judge for themselves, from your comments alone, who is the one that’s right here.

he’s blocked. I don’t censor opinions, but my channel is not the place for this racist bullshit. I hate shawn because he’s a lying, thieving little worm. Not because he’s jewish…. which I didn’t even know until now.

I read this whole conversation, staar, aka ouij.
You are the one that looks ing retarded. You barely make sense 90% of the time, and the 10% you do make sense, it’s self-deprecating in an unintentional way.
I don’t know if the guy I’m siding with is religious or not, but seeing as how he’s not you, he’s obviously the better choice. Mymecia is correct.
Staar/Ouij, you are once again blocked for spam, racism, and retardation.
August 30th, 2009 at 2:17 pm
????????? are you …
????????? are you ing disturbed or something? if people read this whole conversation your going to look so ing retarded.

You can stop pretending to be tough kid – its just making you look more pathetic than ever.

I think that Ouij4’s comment was aimed at me, he/she doesn’t handle getting flamed very well. Of course that just makes me feel terrible for the poor little thing
