She can't evidence overall takings and a timestamped donation which marries up to the demonstrated amount raised. She doesn't have it.
If this were a genuine error (I forgot to close the fundraiser, I was waiting for the final 30 days to lapse so I could donate in one lump sum, I honestly forgot) she could have cleared this up months ago and done what she'd promised with evidence. She could have owned her mistakes if there were ones. Instead she's spitefully digging a hole, one rusty spoonful of slop at a time. She's long missed the opportunity to admit there was an honest mistake. If she can't evidence a dated donation with proof that that was all that was raised, she shouldn't have lied about donating it.
I sincerely hope actionfraud are on the case because it is looking more and more like a crime was committed by the day. If she wants the backlash to stop she needs to provide proof of takings and a dated donation transaction.
Even if she doesn’t provide it publicly, pretty sure Action Fraud will be asking for it…
Whoever is advising her on reputation cleanup is doing a
tit job. “Ok Jack, you said multiple times in the summer that the money Teemill paid into your personal PayPal had gone to charities (plural) you refused to name. So, provide evidence from your
Bank Account of money going to a lone charity (singular) who accept donations via PayPal. Oh, and when writing your mea culpa apology, make sure you fill it with excuses and how none of it is your fault. Then wait an hour or two, then plug your new book”.
“What’s that? Patreon? Yeah, when you do that mea culpa, just use your Kickstarter list of excuses, make sure you call it a “small amount” of money, and yes, DEFINITELY post a photo of you fulfilling some rewards that demonstrates conclusively that you lied when you said most people were only giving you a quid”
“Pardon? Oh, yes,
DEFINITELY make sure there’s a £1,000 laptop in it when you claimed 3 months ago to the day that you were writing job applications on your mobile phone while sitting in solar lit gloom and boiling soap to make shower gel. Make sure it’s front and centre in the picture, maybe with an expensive notebook next to it to show everyone how contrite you are.”
“Ok, finally, post a tweet almost solely consisting of lies you’ve told that can be easily refuted and disproved by your own published words. How about being expelled, being working class and being a single mother again? Eviction? Not enough characters. Just stick to the first three whoppers. That all should restore you to your former
grift glory. Now, let’s talk about this bridge I have to sell to you…”
