The Completionist Is a Scammer, Apparently

I'm honestly kind of surprised that he's even bothered to show his face to his paypig simps all things considered.

He has not made a public statement, hasn't made a comment anywhere but his discord.

His conduct with this charity is indefensible and nobody has come up with any plausible justification. Him trying to flag down Karl Jobst and his aforementioned shady behavior regarding this charity makes me consider that the money is gone.

"I'm holding on as best I can"

I burst out laughing seeing that. Of all ways to come out and say something it has to be phrased that way considering what happened to the money.

 

[Collections Agent]

This would all blow over if he showed the bank statement with the money still there, or just donated it already. The fact he has not done so yet makes me think the money is long gone.

Even if every single dementia charity ever was insanely and provably corrupt, it even would make sense to just start a scholarship-style situation where if someone provably has dementia some of the money will be donated to help provide them care.

It REALLY isn't that hard to figure out.

 

[Vapid_Idiot]

I wonder if the other jewtube people with extreme bias towards simping for Jirard may have possibly accepted money from him directly from the donation account. What a sad implication that may be in a court of law. It would explain the sudden deletion of tweets in support of him.

 

[SBG]

You know this really puts into question if he was also lying about what actually happened to his old co host, Greg

Tl;Dr Jirard clams he had a falling out with Greg, which resulted in every video that Greg was in being taken down by Jirard because he wanted to "respect Greg wishes"

This is probably damning thing as just googling turns up stuff about Greg just wanting to be paid more. Greg apparently made some comments about how they didn't really have any contract or whatever, but he figured it'd work out fine because they were friends for a long while.

And I guess that friendship didn't mean much to Jirard when money was at stake. So this is seeming like a pattern with Jirard that he does a lot of generally greedy shit.

The other event that Open Hand has advertised on their site is the PBD West Convenience Cup Challenge (PBD West is the company Completionist's dad is in charge of).


I checked to see what the deal with this event is and they apparently also raise money for Open Hand. Here's the sponsors for 2022 and 2023


A photography service also posted images of the 2022 event and something noteworthy is the sponsors section. In particular, this image.

The reason why this is signifcant is because the event also listed prices for sponsorships.

The diamond recognition is 8,000 dollars and that's just one sponsor. In addition to raising thousands of dollars through IndieLand, Open Hand also raised thousands of dollars through this golf event (which has going on since at least 2011 based on this Facebook events page).

Considering the kinds of sponsors these events received, like Pepsi, Wells Fargo, and Monster Energy, these guys are probably more fucked than we may have initially thought.

Edit:
Also I'm not 100 percent sure but these pics from the 2012 event look like Jirard. The man with grey hair is his dad.






Edit 2: I found more photos showing the tiers of sponsors' contributions.

Unfortunately, the FBI will already decide for them, and it will be the director of the charity, which is Jirard himself.

How will Normal Boots cope when FBI digs through Jirards finances? Any bets? My guesses are normal boots nogtubers will
A) Pretend nothing is wrong and everything is fine
B) Start covering their own asses to avoid being implicated in embezzlement.
C) Break up.

 

[xXx: State of the Union]

Is this what will finally get Did You Know Gaming? to abandon Normal Boots?

Projared was enough to get Continue? and Satchbag to jump ship I think.

 

[Vapid_Idiot]

These are the girl boss CPAs who did the accounting for Open Hand

Curious as to why there are no supplemental itemizations for their expenses, but I am no tax expert. I think there should be more detail in the schedule listings for their operational expenses. Everything is incredibly vague

 

[SBG]

I'm a little skeptical about this counting as embezzlement, as I'm not sure of how much money a charity genuinely has to spend on actual charitable things. Some have said it's only like 10% of what they've raised? Also not sure if they have to spend the money they get that quickly or if they are allowed to invest it to some degree the way colleges do with their endowments (I think that's how that works but I am kinda retarded about these things).

Anyone more knowledgeable about this stuff?

Edit: Was thinking about how people a few years back figured they really caught Zoe Quinn in something when she was raising money for some charity basically just having people send money to her personal paypal. People tried contacting the government thinking "man we really got her this time!" then she made some contribution and the charity she donated to and the state did nothing. So while she did basically break the law, nothing came of it. Makes me wonder if similar bullshit would happen this time around (there is more money involved so imagine the government would be more curious but still).

Their filings all say the money has not been spent and is just sitting somewhere, presumably a bank account. If it's not that's a federal crime period. The only question is how many federal crimes have been committed. I'll also add that if they cannot produce the dollar amount listed in their non-profit's legal filings then embezzlement is pretty much the only option.

Where it gets depressing is the realization that nobody ever gets prosecuted for this sort of thing unless the feds need to make a rare example out of someone. Non-profit/charity fraud has been a rampant epidemic for about 20 years. There's no enforcement.

Not to defend them, and having sat through the DSP bankruptcy arc, just how much responsibility could they theorhetically share with the fraud? I'm only asking because I'm not sure on how charity accounting is done, let alone the taxes declarations of it. What I do know, is come February through April, I go to my lady, I present my W-2, I present receipt of my write-offs, she does her thing, we come to an agreement, and that's it. Whether I get money back or I pay the government, the jist is I present everything to them, and they, assume I'm being honest with what I present. Isn't that how doing charity declarations/taxes work? You go to whoever, present your documents, they do the paperwork and assume you're being honest?

They needed to spend at least 5% of their net average assets annually (which they did not). I do believe this will fuck them in the ass, along with multiple statements made by Jirard that they had been sending money to USFC and the Alzheimer’s group. Jirard also admitted to self-dealing, which is allocating money to non-qualified people. Saying he took some funds to reimburse himself is a no-no. If he hypothetically just said “hey I’m gonna give back myself x amount of money because I spent my personal funds on hotels, video games, travel” etc, he would have to actually have a organization tied to the open hands org to reallocate the money.

I think the biggest issue is how the donations were gathered. I do not think streaming and taking money across various states is legal.

Each state has solicitation statutes that private foundations must register with to soliciting donations. So private foundations, like the bill gates foundation, have physical fund raising in the state they operate in.

I do not think anyone was aware that Jirard was funneling the money to a private foundation. I think the assumption was that the money was going to a donor based organization.

Private Foundations are supposed to be financed by the founders alone, and grants are given from that single source.

This is a massive fuck up, and a glaringly obvious scam once people understand the different archetypes of philanthropic organizations.

Edit: a simple Wikipedia search of ‘Private Foundation’ and the first sentence will be a dead giveaway of how fucked the Khalil family is. No one was supposed to piece together that the IndieLand funds went into the foundation. This is going to be spicy.

That is Jirard.

Jon was canceled for pointing out facts
Jirard one of the guys who axed him committed charity fraud.

the tax fraud is distasteful

but what i find the most disgusting is emotionally parading your mothers corpse around to raise money for said fraud

in every clip ive seen hes always banging on about how this cause is important to him because his mother died of it

but apparently it was not important enough to either

1) find an actual way to spend the money raised in honour of her memory

or the one im more leaning to

2) abstain from leveraging your mothers corpse to steal money from pay pigs.

They took advantage of people not understanding how Private Foundations work. They are supposed to put up the money from their own resources, not crowd fund the entire fucking thing. That’s why they can get away with not donating anything. It’s incredibly fucking scummy, and once the logistics come out of how scummy it is, there won’t be a rock big enough for Jirard to hide under.

i watched the completionist a lot, almost from when he started and stopped in the last few years....i don't think there's malicious intent....ive listened to this dude on a lot of streams, podcasts, etc. he's kind of mildly retarded, i literally do not think its a big leap to say he literally just forgot to do all the right legal shit

then wheres the money mate?

as i said before im prepared to accept hes retarded when i see the bank statement with the 600k in it, the fact hes yet to publicly affirm the money is there is glaring

the money not being there suggests that he gave it to the charity

 

[Corn Syrup Connoisseur]

Are you retarded? Jirard's whole claim is that he hasn't donated anything yet.
