Just occurred to me that that trustee guy clearly has his head screwed on, or has done his due diligence. Because his opening salvo was "don't give him your money, you don't know where it's going"
This is because trustees are very much accountable to the Charity Commission, and given this charity has the spotlight on it, the CC will very much be aware of it. They absolutely will not want to fall foul of the Commission within their first year. They don’t want to be associated with dodgy fundraising.
I can’t believe he would choose to attempt a cash-in on a saga that’s been ongoing for YEARS, (which he ignored), in which people lost their livelihoods, their standing in the communities, their relationships with their families, and some ending up in prison.
ironic that the same thing is going to happen to him.
