  - Imagine that…Cheeks, Hensou, et al…Hoisted on their own Petard…actually, no surprise there. [NT] - TyroneIrish - 10:40pm 8/26/25
    - Hardly. Where is the full audit? Once again you live in a fantasy world. [NT] - Hensou - 9:08am 8/27/25
- You're trying to save face with a pathetic "but it wasn't technically fraud" defense. - jakers - 6:03pm 8/26/25
  - Show us evidence of fraud…not innuendos. [NT] - TyroneIrish - 6:51pm 8/26/25
    - What's funny is that you don't know how the money was stolen, but your instinct is to defend it. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 7:03pm 8/26/25

        You wanted evidence, I provided some that could not be disputed by your gamesmanship to avoid truth. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 10:54pm 8/26/25

        It was a simple and worthwhile question. Tyrone obfuscates purely because it's his role here. - TakethetrainKnute - 10:11am 8/27/25
        I think we need legislation to clean up this whole NGO/Non-Profit grift. - iairishcheeks - 10:27am 8/27/25
        
        He's trying to run and hide behind a strawman again. [NT] - jakers - 10:56pm 8/26/25

        He claims to be an ND grad. I have serious doubts about that. He posts more like a DNC operative. [NT] - Hensou - 9:14am 8/27/25
