People like this should do jail time for misrepresentation and fraud.
'Sham' cancer charities agree to $76M judgment, dissolution

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Two Tennessee-based cancer charities labeled "shams" by the Federal Trade Commission have settled a massive fraud case, along with their president, by agreeing to a $75.8 million judgment and the dissolution of the businesses.
The complaint filed last year accused James T. Reynolds Sr. and others of spending donations meant for cancer patients on six-figure salaries and luxury vacations. The FTC said it is the largest joint action ever undertaken by the FTC and state charity regulators.
Cancer Fund of America and Cancer Support Services spent less than 3 per cent of contributions from individual donors on cash and goods sent to cancer patients and nonprofits in the United States, according to the FTC.
Much of what was sent to patients was virtually worthless. It consisted of boxes of "seemingly random items" that typically included Carnation Instant Breakfast drink, adult briefs and bed pads, sample-sized soaps, Little Debbie snack cakes and blank seasonal greeting cards, according to court documents. The items were mostly purchased from procurement agents, who sell overstocked, out-of-season and discontinued products to nonprofits at a small fraction of their retail value.
Cancer Support Services also claimed to provide services to cancer patients, including hospice care, but actually existed solely to raise money for Cancer Fund of America, according to court documents.
The settlement with Reynolds and the two businesses was filed Wednesday in federal court in Arizona and must be signed by the judge before it takes effect.
FTC attorney Tracy Thorleifson said the agency does not yet know how much money the government will recover, but she said it "won't even be close" to the $75.8 million judgment, which reflects the amount of money the public donated to the two "sham charities" between 2008 and 2012.
Reynolds' assets to be sold include 50 collector beer steins, two 9 mm pistols, 15 framed art prints, five Remington statues and a pontoon boat. After Reynolds complies, the judgment against him will be suspended, provided his sworn financial statements are accurate.
As part of the settlement, Reynolds is banned from profiting from any charity fundraising in the future.
Reynolds' attorney did not return a phone call or email seeking comment.
Reynolds' son and ex-wife previously agreed to settlements involving two related charities. The former president of Cancer Support Services also settled earlier.
Together, the four charities raised more than $187 million between 2008 and 2012. Donor contributions financed personal loans; paid for trips to Las Vegas, New York and Disney World; and purchased cars, college tuition, gym memberships, Jet Ski outings, dating website subscriptions and luxury cruises.
Wishing I hadn't cheaped out when I bought the welder. Got the powerfist for like 250 on sale figured it would be fine for what I needed.
Tried to talk my dad in going halves so we could get a Lincoln. But he said "I have the sick welder I don't need a mig"
Well I bought the cheap one before I even plugged it in my dear old dad says hey that should be easier for this thing I'm working on can I use that. Lol. I said sure I don't need it quite yet. Well two months and a roll and a half of wire later I got it back with a trigger that won't shut off the gas fully when you let go.
Now I got both floors welded in the TBird. And halfway threw the inner torque box patch today and it started to sound funny and now won't lay a decent weld. Burning the wire off too soon. If I turn the wire speed up it just goes pop pop pop and won't heat up unless I crank the amps up.
Still have the battery box and both quarters to weld in.
Fuck me.
Clean your wire feed rollers. Slot down the center of them can become clogged / partially clogged with dirt n debris which will result in inconsistent wire feed. Also make sure your tip and inside of the cone are both clean n free of spatter. Once clean, spray or dip in non stick tip coating.
Time for a celebration!
I got a job offer yesterday morning!, Its been a long search (and long process with this company)
