You think that charities don't do the exact same things? Even when the money is spend on the actual things instead of marketing and salaries to retarded cousins of rich people it goes to some other asshole overcharging them. Its all a big fuckin scam.
Real charities at least have to be more transparent in their finances - file reports disclosing how much of the money they raise goes to overhead (paying the CEO, renting nice offices, limos and fancy dinners, ya know), and how much of it actually ends up being used for charity. And if a charity has exorbitantly high overhead, it could potentially even face an IRS audit and could stand to lose its nonprofit status.
been watching for a bit, hes been getting a lot of 5-10k donations from people like markiplier and jacksepticeye
Sending these two idiots more money because they claim it's going to charity? Seems like a bold strategy, Cotton, we'll see how it works out.
I agree that a $250k charity goal right after they admit they lost $250k on their charity event seems suspicious. I think they potentially
would be committing fraud if they skimmed $250,000 off this fundraiser to cover their CC2 losses before donating anything. The way it looks on the screen seems to pretty clearly indicate that the money they're raising will go directly to the charity, not "all of the money
after the $250,000 goal." Hopefully they're actually donating it, not trying to cover their losses first... but I personally wouldn't bet any money on it.
If you have mostly full lower bowl and a mostly empty upper bowl, my first thought is either free tickets papering the lower bowl or they sold more cheap tickets then consolidated crowd groupings to look better on broadcast
Ian admitted they were counting on PPV sales exceeding the 100k views that CC1 sold. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn if they had figured they could afford to pack out their big venue by giving out free seats for all their friends, and ended up not making hardly anything on actual ticket sales.
