I have now received all donations via mail, along with donations sent via Paypal and included with all of them were instructions/wishes as to how the donations are to be disbursed.
I've been in contact with the affected members and the funds owed to them have been disbursed per their wishes.
Obviously we raised more money than what was directly owed so the excess, per each donor's instructions, are being applied and forwarded per their requests.
For those who sent cash, checks and money orders, those will be deposited in my business bank account and the funds then transferred to my Paypal account for disbursement to the forum and to Ken. I'll update as appropriate until all funds earmarked for this effort have been disbursed.
No_1 (Robert) and I have been in frequent phone communication and he knows the exact figure of funds that have been raised. I'm not going to post totals here because it seems to invite scammers as we've have seen in years past and our membership deserves better than that.
Suffice it to say that all known debts owed by the now banned member to the affected members have been satisfied and that out of the bad has come some incredible good. Once again, this community rallied around several of our own and rose to the occasion We did not simply repair a dent in our community, we made the entire community stronger and tighter and better than we were before the effort began. That is what we've always been about.
Well done, folks.
