to keep this vague my wife runs a pyramid scheme and did a fundraiser for a local sports team. they raised a good sum of cash that has been sitting in our bank account (direct deposit from said company after all the orders where placed through my wife) and i really do not not want to be held accountable for the money anymore. its been 2 months of phone calls unreturned and avoiding the money.

i do not understand if someone had a check to this size for me i would be knocking down doors to get it. does anyone know what we can do? when does it become or money if it even does. just annoying me right now that i am having to deal with this.
 
I am no expert but from what I have read you only have to give 1% of the net to the cause to be legal. The only other thing is Moral :).

well i could sure use the cash lol, i just dont want any legal action taken up. were moving soon (military) so its not like were going to be in the area much longer. i dont have the time nor the want for some idiot taking me to court because they could not be bothered.
 
I think you can pass it to another non profit. If that is the case my kids hockey team is having a fundraiser and they are a non profit. They could sure use the donation all funds go to help kids who cant afford equipment.
 
What happened to the local sports team that the money was raised for?

Damnit man...dont give us a preview and leave out the details! Drum some drama up for me to be entertained with.
 
So your wife collected money from people for the purpose of raising funds for a sports team and has not given the team any money yet? That pretty much sounds like fraud to me.

Just another reason I never donate to charity's/fundraiser's unless I know them on a personal level, Never know where that money goes...........Sad

no heres simply how it works. they get orders placed. my wife submits the orders and the merchandise is shipped to whoever purchased it. the company direct deposits her commission and the fundraising money into an account. my wife then writes the coach a check. they cash it.

problem is we can not get ahold of the coach for the check. shes mia. and i am not writing a couple grand check to someone who is not in charge i.e. a parent and hoping they do right by it. not how this hole deal started. and i am not getting into the situation where they take the cash and run.

if i wanted to do something fraudulent i would not do it and then post on the internet on how to correct the situation. that makes about as much sense as fucking a cactus.

In a way, Detroit did just that lol j/m

I'd see if you can find there place of residence and send them a certified letter for immediate return contact within such and such days, and information etc etc. After that time lapses by, redistribute said monies to another respectful similar charity.

ya i guess it is a misleading first post. honestly i would have zero issue sitting down with this group of kids and their parents asking how they want this money spent. but then again i do not want that hassle. i am not in charge of these kids. its their money 100% agree but its not my problem. just do not know how to appoint it to be someone else problem.
 
Can you track down the league commissioner to see who may be currently heading up the team?







And by the way, as a former coach, I can assure you that most kids want that money spent on hookers & blow at the end of the season party.
 
Just get ahold of the governing board of the team and turn it over to them. This isn't that difficult. If it's a parks 'n rec league, call them up. If it's some travel league, call them up. There's some central body that schedules the games this team plays, find them. It should take about 23 seconds on google.
