Jeffrey Shaw Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 *ash* yes i read the Times report also. The spokeswomen for the charity said something like 'it would have been so much better if the money had been given to a charity, we could have done more with it'. My thought being 'yes, you could have carved off about 50% for your expenses to start with'. Good luck to the guy, he might be down & out but he showed character hope he enjoys his reward. Well said, there; I though that too! So good for the poor but honest man- how few there seem to be nowadays- and shame on the charity worker parasite.

callippo Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I understand flights leave from Kansas city to Las Vegas everyday. He'll probably be on one of them soon. $200,000 is enough to party for a whole month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manlinose Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The Times report also included the following quote from him, “I don’t deserve it. What I actually feel is, ‘What is the world coming to when a person returns something that doesn’t belong to him and all this happens?’ ” sums it up nicely i think and the homeless charity woman was quoted as saying “With $145,000 we could fund 10-20 people in apartments for six months,” apart from the fact that she's a bit uncertain on the numbers - what she didn't say is what happens when the money runs out after 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Orange Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 The Times version includes a charity who says this money should be put to good use for other people in poverty. Why don't they start a similar campaign then online? Stupid tossers. It was set up for him, and I hope he enjoys it. It's his, he can pee it up the wall, invest it, give it away. His choice. A bit of a cheap shot from the lady. Fair play to him, he did the right thing and now has the chance to turn his life around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
