I think Muta and Karl brought up a very serious point, why was the money not donated yet? All Jirard had to do was say "We're raising more money so we can control what happens with it" and I don't think anyone would have had anything against it, other than being pissed they were lied to about money already going to charities.
Is it better to wait a bit and make sure the money doesn't go in the doctor's dick implants or something? Definitely, but don't fucking lie about it.
I do think Muta and Karl jumped the gun quite a lot with the stealing & etc without any actual evidence other than adding up the sponsors for the golfing event and scratching their heads about the twitch subs and donations. Golf is something normally associated with rich people(at least where I live), so I assume the tournament was quite expensive, hard to say what revenue they even had left for the actual charity. There's expenses, people you need to pay, it's not like you can do it all for free. I also think snitching to the IRS is the gayest thing you can do. My friend has a grocery store and our IRS literally fined her for a price sticker falling off a product in front of the agent because every product on display has to have a price.
Jirard is already successful. Even by their calculations, there's very little actually missing. Why would he need to commit fraud for so little money? The previous frauds people from that sphere uncovered actually benefitted the fraudsters quite greatly. This all seems like too much effort and risk for what he probably earns in a few months.
He should come up with a full explanation of all expenses and revenue and transparently show to the public where every single penny went. I don't want every receipt for every gum, but a total of "$XXXXXX for other expenses related to event organization, salaries, etc" and other generic descriptions like that should already exist in the tax filings, so they just need to ask their accountant to make a google sheet.
He is incredibly retarded for threatening a lawsuit. People will just hate him more. The lawsuit will probably not do anything, Muta has the money to fight back and defamation is not easy to prove.
Now indie games will have one less event(which is kinda good tbh, most indie games suck ass and are just about muh feels), less money will be given to research because he'll stop collecting it, and most likely nothing will happen to Jirard in terms of fines, jail, etc. If he does get fined, it'll just be the normal IRS abuse rather than fraud.
I know I might seem like a completionist fanboy & defender, but I've only seen his GTASA video and I'm actually a pretty big fan of Muta, if anything I have an autistic bias towards him not Jirard. I watch every single one of his videos, I also archive them using tube-archivist, and when he says "Hello ladies and gentlemen, It's me Mutahar" I say "Hello Mutahar, it's me ladies and gentlemen"
If he actually committed fraud I don't want him to get away scott free, but simping and snitching for the feds is worse than charity fraud. The IRS steals more money from people daily, in fact they steal so much they even give some of it back once a year.
