Ok been busy and haven't had a chance to read everything and catch up yet but fuck this guy. I will be making some phone calls today.
Is there a free giveaway? :idontknow:
I would say that the number of guests has something to do with comments like this that he posted on JK-F.
"Update: It seems like the attacks from this guys Jeep community have stepped it up a notch. I have been told that my home address has been posted on his community forum and I've now received three calls from "unknown" numbers. Two of them called me a name and hung up and the third one hung up right away. Let it be known that while I support your right to disagree with me and even call me names online, if you show up at my house with an attitude... the FallenHeroesJeep will be the least of your worries. This is in no way a threat, just a warning that I will do what I feel is necessary to protect my family and my property."
If any one from here is making harassing calls I ask that you stop. While I certainly do not condone his misrepresentation, Personal threads are unacceptable and give all of us a black eye.
I missed it before but would like to assure you that the address has been removed. As much as I think this guy is a crook, this is something the guys on JKO and JKF do with my address and phone number and I don't want this forum to be anything like them.
Please do not post up personal contact information (addresses or phone numbers) related to this guy. While I certainly encourage people to do their own research and come to their own conclusions about this guy and his "non-profit", and to post up anything they find showing his true colors, personal contact information should remain that, personal (even though this guy has posted his personal information in a public space.)
Edit: Looks like Eddie beat me to it.
So, since this guy isn't a non-profit, isn't he technically obligated to report all of his "sponsor's" products as income on his federal taxes? According to his website, he has 9 “Title Sponsors” which provided a minimum of $1000 each in product, services, or labor. I’m sure the IRS would like him to pay tax on the value of all that product since he's not a designated “non-profit”, right?

You would think. I'd be interested to know how he gets by without a 501(c)3.
Yes, he is...just as he must do with each and every dime (which as far as we know for sure has only been $421) that he receives as a "donation" from people who give him cash. Despite everything that has happened today, this guy has hid from the question of accountability and has outright refused to account for the money he has received and provide any evidence that he actually gave that money to a real charity.
He sure has a nice tv though.
Especially since he takes donations in.
You are correct and we don't know that he isn't.
The issue to me is that he implies he is running a non-profit, yet is not a 501(C)3. He may be giving all of his money to charities, but he not be as well. We will never know. My issue isn't with what he is doing, it's with the implied representation.
Since he is not a 501(c)3 then any money someone gives is not tax deductible. While I never give/donate based on this, I do usually claim my donations because it allows me to give more. If someone tries to, they will be falsifying tax documents. Unknowingly, but doing it nonetheless.
Not only has he outright refused to provide full disclosure of the money he's received and/or actually give to a real charity, he's been actively rallying up his supporters to attack me for being anti-veteran to take the focus off of him. He's about as good as they get.
Yep, and he is good. He has spent an incredible amount of time reaching out on the interwebs to support his cause. His posts can be found on everything from apple support forums, to car forums, motorcycle forums, computer programming forums, etc. He has practice, let us not forget that his first rodeo was with a car.
