        Bands and people donated on the premise that the money raised would "Go directly to the victims" - iairishcheeks - 6:24pm 8/27/25

  - 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
      - Show us the evidence…it’s a simple request. [NT] - TyroneIrish - 7:09pm 8/26/25
        Not a lot of structures going up... [LINK] - iairishcheeks - 7:27pm 8/26/25
        Nice escape try, but “FireAid” is not responsible for the entire Recovery…just so you know… [NT] - TyroneIrish - 10:43pm 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
        The truth is that your JR video was nothing but an 'Innuendo Fest' with NO supporting evidence...you - TyroneIrish - 11:39pm 8/26/25
        Here's a local report, why are defending this BS? [NT] [LINK] - iairishcheeks - 9:53am 8/27/25
        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 continues to defend the indefensible. [NT] - iairishcheeks - 9:54am 8/27/25
        
        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

    - Read the article TTTK posted below, one thing is obvious you don't give a rats ass about the victims [NT] - iairishcheeks - 4:56pm 8/26/25

        He’s given it clearly. You ignored it. - Hensou - 6:12pm 8/26/25

        You posted the Joe Rogan video that turned out to be nothing but innuendos…it’s your responsibility - TyroneIrish - 6:58pm 8/26/25
