This is a bit sketchy, but bare with me.

A while ago someone was asking for money to buy a forum member a marker that he wanted. The forum member had surgery or something along those lines, everyone chipped in to buy him the marker, there was a card circulating, etc.

What ever happened to that? I donated $50.00, and never saw pictures, or even heard about it again. Well I hope my 50 bucks didn't go to some greedy kids pocket.

Slothbutt ended up putting all the money we/you
(I don't recall if I donated) donated towards an Adrenaline Angel.

The kid had cancer or something...

I guess some of us are more generous than others. But I guess if you had 50 dollars, it'd go for a carbon fiber grill plate or something that's just as wasteful.

It's not a thing about the money, it's about people taking money that doesn't belong to them.

He posted pictures of it a while back, MVP.
I'm 98% certain he used the donations gathered from chat/mother to
purchase it.

I'm pretty sure the forum's been dumped several times over
since he posted them.

And yes, his cousins were indeed hot.

People donate money to charities all the time. They don't know where the money is going. It is legal for none of it to go towards that specific cause, it can go right to the owners pocket.

I've donated a lot more money than 50 bucks to people I haven't met before.

Yes the money went to slothbutt. Yes he had Cancer. Leukemia to be exact. Yes the money and the tank were sent to him. I am sure that I have a copy of the cancelled check somewhere. That way no one can accuse hedge or myself of stealing the money. County donated a tank. I have pics of that too. If we are going to start the accusations of people stealing money again I am not going to be a very nice person. People should do some research and ask the people who were collecting the money and put the effort into it before making accusations.
