Don't worry. I am sure the Spanish legal system will set things right.

Well that makes us all feel better.

I hope the lawsuit in Mass. does something.

Still silly the way things work out.

You got something to say, say it...i was one of the people who started that fund.

Digger, something I was wondering about -
when the idea for the fund was first talked about, weren't there 2 funds - 1 on NYVeloCity and 1 on Cyclismas. But there was some problem with the NYVC link and it went away or something & the Cyclismas link was used instead?

Can you clarify what happened with all that, or am I not remembering things correctly?

My impression is that the NYVC guys never actually took anybody's money & everybody used the Cyclismas PayPal link instead? Why was that account chosen? Because they already had logistics set up with PayPal?

Fish hack?

Come on coach. Fish Hack working for the fish wrap. Newspaper. I guess he is no longer a fish hack cause the sunday times dropped him.

Anyhow that calling on people to fight stuff only lets the door open on twitter for flame cast. You should know that because twitter is a crazy world.

Dude skips out to Spain. He is making some silly assed twitts and all that is left to do is beg him to poney up. I think it is still unclear if he has pocketed the money but heck ...he should show some paperwork for it if he has nothing to hide.

Everybody take a Valium. News forthcoming that will render most of this banter obsolete.

The money was spent on a sysmex machine?
Anyone can visit and view the receipt?

I don't mind addressing this. The chain of events.
I spoke to Andy Shen on the Thursday and said we need to do something to help Paul. We both agreed on a chipin, similar to the Charles Pelkey one. I told Andy I would set it up.
Kimmage then phoned me and said he couldn't accept people's money. We convinced him to take it, and if needs be, he could hand it to charity.
I set up the Chipin so that Andy Shen also had access. I also told Lesli Cohen that i wanted to give her hte details of the account. I wanted them to have hte details so that no one person would have access and be able to see the account. After a few hours my paypal wasn't working properly. I asked Lesli to help me out. She set up the same chip through the cyclismas paypal.

In all this I can't reiterate enough that Lesli is a lady who i have the highest regard for. I have the same thoughts on Andy Shen.
As for Kimmage, I feel so sorry for him, as I know from talking to him that he's destraught and honestly had no idea there was an issue until Saturday at lunchtime.

There's going to be a digital trail. It will either exonerate Brown or show him a thief.

His inability and unwillingness to immediately account for the money--and requiring others haul him into court for an accounting--tells me all I need to know about that piece of pond scum.

More like Fish Bait.
Take no heed of Glenn, they use the same term to call Walsh.

Who is they?

Fish Hack is slang for News journo. Fish Wrap is news print. Not that hard.

Stop your trolling.

I must admit even i laughed at this!

Sorry man, couldn't resist.
I know that the fund was setup for a genuine cause, and to remind people is still active, as the case against Kimmage was only 'suspended'.

Hopefully, it is just some small misunderstanding and everything clears, but the ball is clearly in ABs court now.

Thanks Digger for the explanation. Please tell Paul that people don't blame him for this. I can imagine how I'd feel in his shoes. Hope everything can be worked out soon.

I can't add much to this mess but I can say that I have had the good fortune to meet Leslie several times. She is a wonderful person. Funny, smart, super cool girl. It really sucks that she is stuck in this mess.

I used the term 'they' as an indefinite singular antecedent in place of the definite masculine he or the definite feminine she.

Ah, ok its slang.
I am sure you will use it to refer to all journalists - not just the 2 Irish award winning journalists who helped expose a sporting fraud.

Did you conveniently leave out Brown?

On another note, I know Leslie from the local cross scene, I'm confident it will come to pass that all of her intentions were good. With the possible exception that she may have been too trusting.
