Your mistake was to not study together with your wife. And to discuss your games after each match and analysing the strength and potential of all the moves you made, and what other potential moves could have been done.
Having your wife improve at chess should feel pretty sweet. But maybe you don't care for some reason. Or maybe you don't actually like chess.
>implying his wife is open to criticism after losing
Did he do it, bros?
i mean he clearly did.
the only possible defense is that he didn't mean to do it, like he was just negligent and wasn't running an intentional scam. but he did do it, i mean the money was in the account, it's not really debatable.
A israelite forced him to do it
>i mean the money was in the account
Even if 655k of the 780k donated to him is in the account he is still fricked for lying not only about what organizations he was donating to but that he told doners all the money is going to charity and that they don't touch any of it. $125,000 in "unknown expenses" is touching quite a lot.
yeah i meant it in a negative way. the money was hoarded in the account instead of being donated.
he's clearly guilty of what's being alleged, it's just a question of his mindset.
I think his mindset is he let his family manage the money who told him all the great places it's going then Karl and Mutahar sent that letter to his brother at the foundation and his brother begged him to cover for him leading to that cringy phone call... or he is also a scumbag, who knows. I hope the IRS gets involved.
qrd?
Jirard from the Completionist has been pocketing all donations for anything he did charity related for the past 10 years
how did it take 10 years for anyone to notice?
He wasn’t actually pocketing the money (at least not much of it), if he was he would’ve been caught way earlier. Probably by the IRS.
Instead he simply has $650,000 of charity donations just sitting in the bank account. Only withdrawals have been “admin expenses”” that arnt so big to instantly arouse suspicion, but are definitely suspicious given how vaguely they are labeled.
It’s kind of unclear what the plan was. Actually stealing $600k would be impossible to get away with. But he there obviously was some malicious plan given that he lied constantly saying how he was donating to specific organisations. As recent as a month ago he was talking about it.
It may be some tax fraud I don’t understand given charity status. Or maybe was just biding his time to figure out how to steal it. But outside of fleeing to a non-extradition country, that was not going to be possible I don’t think.
I wouldn't say $10k ~ $30k is a lot.
Even charities like the cancer one, has overhead admin costs in the millions.
He does that yearly indie game thing, and that probably goes to the cost of putting it on.
I mean, It's bad, just not really THAT bad.
It would be funnier if he claimed it as income and paid taxes on it, with fine-print disclaimers about the lion's share going to "organizational fees", while putting only the bare minimum loophole bux into actual charitable donations. I have no love for attention prostitutes, but anyone stupid enough to throw money down a hole at them deserves to get grifted.
Well, streamers are technically charity cases.
not pocketing, just not distributing it.
Not defending him, but this gay has a chance to redeem himself because the money is still there.
Could have sworn we had threads about this like 5 years ago.
we did.
Did he actually launder any of the money? If it’s still sitting in the account and he actually donates it I’m willing to chalk it up to moronic negligence
$125,000 was spent already.
Trust.
The IRS doesn't have time to check every tiny charity charity.
$125,000 is not there.
>I wouldn't say $10k ~ $30k is a lot.
>Even charities like the cancer one, has overhead admin costs in the millions.
>He does that yearly indie game thing, and that probably goes to the cost of putting it on.
All the money goes to charity is what he said, not I am going to fund our events with it. First 12 seconds of the video.
> The IRS doesn't have time to check every tiny charity charity.
Yes, obviously.
But if he moved $600,000 from a charity bank account into a personal account, that would immdietky raise every red flag possible. He got away with it so long because at a quick glance the money isn’t being wrongly used. The admin fee’s arnt unreasonable amounts (although they should be way more specific in labelling, it’s an audit waiting to happen).
But money not going anywhere isn’t instantly suspicious. A charity is going to have money sitting in its account at times. Without being aware of time span and what Jirad publically was saying it doesn’t look illegal at a super quick glance.
But if actual large sums of money left account and appeared somewhere they shouldn’t, would instantly get attention and whole thing would be looked at closely.
>The admin fee’s arnt unreasonable amounts (although they should be way more specific in labelling, it’s an audit waiting to happen).
They are when you tell people that you don't touch any of the money and it is all going to be donated. You can't just say shit like that if you are taking tens of thousands a year.
This is a small family charity that runs a dirt cheap website and I can't stress this enough, doesn't actually donate anything. Jirard already said he only used a couple thousand dollars for Indieland some years and even admitted he wasn't supposed to do that. So what is being administered that cost north of 10,000 a year?
i dont have friends autistic enough to 100% games. honestly where do you find such people
what happened this time?
Why would one donate to a middle-man instead of donating directly to the charity you actually want to donate to?
Because le funny eceleb man wanted you to?
Because you're always paying a middle-man.
Unless you're going to start up your own research grant, and shop around until you find your guys to give it to.
>Unless you're going to start up your own research grant, and shop around until you find your guys to give it to.
Come on. Calling all charities middle-men is kind of disingenuous when there is a clear difference between charities that have a direct link to the actual people they're supporting, and charities that only have links to other charities.
But it is what it is anon.
They are middle-men, and your donations are going to pay their bills first, then to what you donated for.
I don't think it's disingenuous at all.
>But it is what it is anon.
>They are middle-men
Yes. But why pay middle-men to middle-men?
The first middle-men serve a purpose. What does the second middle-men do?
Why are you acting as if it's all the same thing?
Because you're pretending like the entire market can be done directly, as if we are bartering chickens here.
The second middle-men are more connected to the specific organizations that do the leg work.
It's a funnel.
Even the universities will take overhead out of it.
>Because you're pretending like the entire market can be done directly
No I am not. And why did you assume that?
Ignoring the charity stuff, isn't it true that Jirard doesn't even 100% complete most of the games he plays anymore?
you lost
>gently sit on all the money
>spend it to make more money
>make back your investment and give it to charity
a shame he got fricked over
There are hedge funds that do exactly this and works with charities.
But here they haven't been claiming to run a hedge fund. They could have. But they didn't.
