Wow. That is some white bullhockey right there.
other than that they are white
No good deed goes unpunished.
What is it with your making this about race? It's ok to be a racist because the couple is white?
I do agree with pRICE, in that the couple should have never used one cent of those funds for personal use. And while the money was raised for him, there is no doubt that without structure and support, that money would be gone in a heartbeat.
I would say that the money is being mishandled by not legally establishing some trust fund. The down side is that it will eat up the money. There's no getting around that.
John boy may never be capable of handling that money. Handing $400,000 over to anybody itself is a matter of trust, a leap of faith, and no guarantee any organization won't help themselves to 'administrative costs', justified or otherwise. And it's no guarantee they will put Johnny's sobriety before all else. Without that, he has no chance to turn his life around. Staying sober isn't for the weak.
But handing over the money will do one good thing— it will get idiots off the backs of the couple. It should have been done right away before fools had a chance to vilify the couple for trying to help out.
Just as there was a popular outcry from idiots for Amy Winehouse's dad to leave her the hell alone, this couple is feeling similar slings and arrows. IF it turns out there's evidence that they promoted a fraud to get themselves some cash, then I'll retract my benefit of doubt.
They could just put the money in a bank, give him the account and walk away. And expose themselves to likely some of the same idiots, and donators, who would then say 'You may as well have given him a loaded gun!'
No good deed will go unpunished. Someone will always find a way.
