YouTuber Jirard (a.k.a. The Completionist) has been accused of keeping and hoarding charity donations - Lemmy.World

Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers (separate video linked here) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QItBdql_8FI] have accused Jirard Khalil of lying to viewers about his charity. The Open Hand Foundation, which was co-founded by Jirard in 2014, was set up to raise money for dementia charities after his dementia-stricken mother passed away. However, their yearly filings with the IRS suggest that none of this money has been donated to charity. Jacque (Jirard’s brother) responded to Karl’s emails to the Open Hand Foundation claiming that they are still searching for the correct charity to partner with and disburse these funds, whereas Jirard claimed that he was only aware that none of the funds had gone out last year, yet is still openly promoting Open Hand on stream and claiming they support the UCSF, Alzheimer’s Association, the AFTD and many other charities.

What did Dan do? I hadn’t heard about any controversy with him, but I’m not entirely surprised there is.

He did some really suspicious things regarding interacting with minors and waiting until they were 18 and then meeting them.

Dan is a sex machine, and did hook up with fans before getting married. But none were minors, not even 18 years old. That part is false. What is Arin supposed to have done?

Apparently Arin is just generally not a good guy. Nothing specifically controversial, just that he isn’t that great of a guy.

claiming that they are still searching for the correct charity to partner

Isn’t that something you should do before you start a donation drive? Wtf? @Inmate English36•

No, you don’t understand, this is decades long process for most NPOs and charities. Some will wait for a century or more to find the right organization. Doctors without Borders, for instance, has a notoriously difficult time performing their duties as the borders keep changing over time as they wait for the right fit–many of their doctors are, in fact, within borders.

My charity has a pile of gold that a dragon sits on until the dragon has found a CEO and board of trustees who can withstand 20k° of dragonfire. Until then, I’d be a fool not to collect interest, for charity of course.

tbh dude should still be cancelled for that imo
