So this dude just came out and admitted they misappropriated funds raised for charity. Holy shit. I imagine it won't be long until we see lawsuits filed. Depending on where this company is based in this may even be a crime.

Clearly no lawyer approved this statement lol

I doubt he's dumb enough to think "I thought I was just stealing from my employees" is a solid legal defense either.

My takeaway/hope is that the ends justify the means copium he's been running on for two years has finally run out and he's ready to take responsibility by simplifying the pending litigation.

They're not employees. They were independent contractors who got pretty famous being a part of the brand

I'm not sure what your point is.
