The Completionist Is a Scammer, Apparently

did you not watch either of the two videos on this

their own tax filings state that the money is apparently just sitting in a bank account, if they had deposited it to a charity they would have recorded it on these filings?

its either

1) sitting in that account which cannot be confirmed until a bank account is seen

or

2) its all gone or a large chunk of it is gone, in which case it will need to be explained where the fuck it went and why it wasnt filed on their taxes.

No. Vagueness in his expenses is purely a problem that the IRS could audit him over.

The literal problem is that via publicly available and filed tax paperwork, money has been going in, but nothing has been coming out. He's received $600k worth of donations, but has given it to nobody, despite saying he was going to and has been giving it to somebody.

Currently, the only saving grace he has is his own word that the money is still there and hasn't been withdrawn.

it doesn’t matter how long you have followed him. I’ll break it down for you so you can understand:


-The Khalil family has a few different operations

-One of them is the Open Hand Foundation, which is a Private Foundation. This is key to understand the how and why of the fraud committed.

-Private Foundations are typically funded by the founders. The purpose is to have organization of their philanthropic activities.

-the benefit of a private foundation is you can pick your own board members and disperse the money however you see fit, the reason for this is it’s the founders money to spend (or not spend)

-the caveat is you have to be very prudent with any contributions to your cause. Every penny donated to the foundation must be accounted for, and every person listed and identified. This is incredibly important, and there are tons of laws around private foundation solicitation.

-via Indieland, Jirard has solicited over half a million dollars in donations, over a period of six
(!) years, which is a egregious error in solicitations, and criminal.

-The Khalils likely have tried to hide the money trail from Indieland into their own coffers, and have not disclosed the nature of the funds in their filings.

-The filings themselves are bare bones and do not have enough supporting information for money going in, or money going out.

-It is likely they just told the CPA they have the donation list in their books, and refused to hand it over. The CPA likely shrugged their shoulder and assumed it would all be good.

-The CPA has already covered their ass, and if you look closely in the filing you will see exactly where.

-it’s even more important to have a paper trail of the money coming in, just as much as where it is. Worrying about if the money is there or not is a moot point.

-the best part is, this is a open and shut case of tax evasion and charity fraud. Not just Jirard and his family will be liable.

-anyone or any entity involved with Indieland is liable for litigation. This includes the gaming companies who attached their names and promoted their products on streams, it also puts the celebrities and anyone else involved with Indieland into the crosshairs.

-This could actually cause massive damage to the indie game industry as it will likely shut down mdevelopment studios.

-USFC and The Alzheimer’s Assocation, along with every donor defrauded will likely sue all involved.

-you have already seen people associated with Jirard cut ties with him, namely his podcast and a few other individuals. People who voiced aggressive support have deleted tweets and will begin distancing themselves from him.

-Jirard & Co is facing a possibility of federal, state, and international charges against him, all dependent on the sources of money he transferred from indieland to to open hand foundation

-This is why he cried like a bitch in his discord



I hope this clarifies things for you

He definitely understands how fucked he is. He has had a lawyer relaying it all to him since probably before the videos were released. His silence only damns him further, he hasn't even made a statement because his lawyer has likely advised him that he's only going to dig himself deeper.

I like the theory that another user had on here that the Khalil family are most likely fighting amongst themselves to try to find a fall guy since if they're all locked up then they're fucked but if they use someone as a fall guy and fight to get the least time possible then when that person gets out Jirard can still set them up for life since he's rich.

Jirard needs to get one of his family members to take the rap for this and then he needs to make a manipulative video that gets millions of views playing the victim. Unfortunately for him, I suspect that the sentences for multiple charges of 825k charity fraud are perhaps well over a decade of jail time. Good luck convincing anyone to go to prison LOL. He'll also struggle with being able to claim that he is innocent since everything is in his name.

I don't even think that he's fucked up that hard with the Mutahar/Karl Jobst confession of not knowing that money hadn't been donated since 2022 since administering the foundation is his responsibility. Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse, nobody forced him to head a charity org.

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.

This is making me curious who their accountant is. I've heard of special accounting groups that helped with charities, which I assume is because of the special circumstances behind them (and this stuff sounds like it'd be confusing for a novice).

I've known an 'accountant' once who honestly was just using Quicken, so I'm picturing Jirard now just winging it with how he handled all this money and hiring some retard (possibly relative) to make sure they were on the up and up.

I have no clue about what her involvement is or if she's just the one who signs the forms for them.

I looked at a few different 990-PF filings from different Private Foundations, and this one looks like Darksydephil prepared it for them. Idk who these women are, but it seems very sketchy. But, they clearly marked that the IRS can question them, so I’m thinking they are well aware they can just point the finger at Mr. I have 5 adult children and his books

That first blurb:
With over 40 years experience, The Tax Girls’ staff of dedicated and knowledgeable CPAs and accountants provide tax and accounting assistance for everyone — whether you’re an individual taxpayer or business in need of tax advice.

Also site says they specialize in business tax, sounds like the wrong field given they were supposed to be dealing with a non-profit. Maybe that doesn't make a huge difference, but a red flag to me that something retarded happened.

My irresponsible speculation: the vague “contract fees” listed in the filings were payments to them to push the paper work through on time to avoid penalties and audits
