My guess is that his past enablers have come in to rescue him again and as part of it told him not to post here. I assume it is probably good legal advice.

Some hof tags gentlemen. Really feeling proud to be a member right now.
Juan needs to make an appearance or the detectives need to dig up something new to make up for the strangest boner Forum Wars gave me last night.
I had a dream that DJ_Chaps welched on a $5,000 sports bet and then I went and hunted him down. And he kept claiming that somebody logged in to this account to make that bet with me, and that it wasn't really him. Just thought I would share that.
Bracket Geek, for the time being, can only handle brackets of 32 entries.
Whomever the coolest guy in the world was, that created the bracket, is there any way you could possibly just make 4 - 32 tag brackets, or pick your top 32?
greatly appreciated.
future version of BG will address this
I located the Facebook of Anthony DeNicco (owner of Blind Squirrel) and sent him a private message asking for clarification.
He appears to be vacationing in Florida at the moment, but was active on Facebook as recently as yesterday.

Questions for Drexel:
Has AJ from Blind squirrel responded to anyone. He was either scammed or part of it.
Is Jasep corresponding with anyone?
Have any of the old MMA guys come forward?
Do the detectives and parole officer in RI have everything they need from PFA?
Best wishes to Joe's family and all others struggling with 22q.
I don't mean to change the subject in this thread.. BUT????
A lot of the ppl in this thread are bitching about Q22 and bitching about how the Spic didn't pay them?? VALID
Now I ask you??? How in the fck have you been here for 2 weeks talking shit about this and donated 0?
If you didn't lose a dime in the Q22 fiasco b4 and didn't donate a dollar YET you pretty much should shut the fuck up about it!!
Instead of saying how much Johnnie Mexico robbed them for donate 5 or 10 dollars and help the kids out or you are nothing more then a hypocrite!!
Donate to the kids!!

100k hits..
first post. and ur gonna nail me to the boards over it.
a charity formed in 2003 takes in 560k (got this figure in post 2224) between then and 2011 then spends 400k (got this figure post 2033) on an 11 day conference.
woww.
unless i took it up wrong and it was a trip for affected kids as well as the conference. sorry if im wrong
This can't be right, because it was the eight one it probably would mean that they spend EVERY penny they raise on these conferences. Unless for some reason the conference @ Disney was 100x the normal amount, spend on these things. They have another one planned in Mallorca (spain) next year, curious to know what the estimated cost will be for that one.....
I think these are separate from regular fundraising and combine a number of 22Q charities all rolled into one. From what I can tell from the site they probably recoup a good deal of the money:
http://22qconference.com/?page_id=970
http://22qconference.com/?page_id=35
The 404's are concerning.
The running of a conference would be part of the cause. Creating an environment where family's from around the world inflicted with 22q can meet and listen to experts is a worthy cause. It's quite a boost to meet others in the same situation and to get their tips on how to deal with certain aspects of their unique day to day life. If part of the funds go towards subsidizing families that otherwise couldn't attend that is good too. That said most conferences like that are run with the intent of making a profit.
shouldnt druff be writing this guy a thank you letter for putting this horrible looking site on the map
from 1of steve-o links it was a 4 day conference not 11 days. july 6th to july 10th
im not trying to create or stir shit here or make accusations about the charity its the numbers that are staggering
Shout out to all the n00bs in the house that type the same!
lol if this whole charity turns out to be a mismanaged joke also
Apparently, more questions. This time about the conference.
The conference was 4 days. It had 2+ days of programming for professionals, 2 days of programming for parents/families, and 2 days of workshops for families. Family workshops and professional programs ran on the same days (Sat/Sun). I arrived I. Florida on July 3rd to help starting the setup for the conference. There was a cost to parents and professionals to attend $250 parents, $400 professionals). So with fees, there is some money raised. We also sold ads in a commemorative program. I got the Filthy Limper radio show a free ad because Johnny had been mentioning the foundation and 22q on the show since April. Then, the foundation received many, many grants to fund this we applied for a year to various organizations for funding and raised most of it. Disney was chosen for the family part of this. Normally, this conference is held on a much smaller scale and for professionals only. Mallorca is supposed to be a combination conference, but there is a 22q group in Spain that is handling that. The foundation, in addition to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Dempster Foundation did a great deal of work on this. I don't think the Foundation could have done this by itself. But the work involved is enormous, and again, all volunteer. My wife and I came in late on this, and we worked for 7 months on it, mainly fundraising.
Cliffs:
22q puts on enormous conference
Much is paid by attendance fees and grants/donations
Conference is scheduled 4 days, my family goes to Disney early, and turns it into a 11 day volunteer workfest
Fundraising barely covers the nut due to Orlando's biggest fucking rat
FLPR free rolls the program book for helping spread awareness.

I've got to say, I'm pretty fed up with the accusatory questions towards the foundation at this point. I have answered every single one quickly and consistently for a week, and people keep churning them up. I'm done answering these at this point. I've given all the info I have on the foundation, and what Jasep's scam was all about involving the fundraiser radio show. I've also been on 3 radio shows to talk about this. I. Pretty fed up. There are plenty of worthy charities that struggle to stay afloat and help the people they want to help. In case people haven't noticed, the economy has been in the shitter for over 5 years, and people just aren't parting with their money these days. Times are tough, and all of these charities rely on donations to continue to do the work that they do.
So if you don't mind, please stop with the accusatory questions. Feel free to ask about the foundation, what work we do to help people, and anything along those lines.
I'm not answering any questions in regards to how they manage their money, their executive board, or anything like that. If you have suspicions, keep them to yourself, or go find the "Charity Fraud Alert" message board and post them there.
Thanks
Joe
