Ok, here is what I've gotten so far. I am not trying to defend, nor allegate anyone here, but I think it is important to get all the facts before we start fires and slander people based on speculation and hapless rumors only. If anyone has anything else, then feel free to let me know. But PLEASE Be careful.

Here is an email from close a personal friend of both parties.


The fundraiser, as is, is not considered "earned income" so there is no tax on it. But the money was sent to Chris, because he set up the fundraiser, then he withdrew it and gave it to the Chandlers. By withdrawing it he is subject to taxes on anything over $13,000 because it now falls under "gift"... He talked to his accountant and theirs and it is possible he could be taxed up to $6000 so he said he would figure out the taxes and then give them the rest. After more research they found out he shouldn't be taxed, because he can show the paper trail. So he had to go to the bank and find out exactly how much was deposited (after the web sites fees) there were several deposits not a lump sum...
He was supposed to have an answer for them 3 days ago but he was flying and hadn't got back to them at the time. This morning he transfered all remaining funds.

I know Danny and Chris, I'm so sad that this is unfolding like this. Chris set that fundraiser up with the best of intentions its just turned into a big mess.
