will the fund be getting a 3rd party fact checking? to ensure no laundering of any kind won't happen.
Oh good ****ing god!
While it is acceptable to question such things, if you don't trust VV, send it to Chribba.
I'm pretty sure even CCP would frown upon such things as scamming from this. While this does not guarantee it is legit, using something such as this as a front for scamming would be highly deplorable.

That rule you mentioned only pertains to an active charity drive, since there is none going atm. it is null & void.
Reread the OP
Quote:
It started with a petition made to a GM (copy available) asking whether CCP's PLEX aid for Haiti was a "one shot" initiative or if more of such emergency relief campaigns would happen again (in case of disasters of course).
Since the reply was positive, I decided to make my little contribution to the good of the less fortunate.
I would suggest sending a petition to CCP about this if you are really feeling this butthurt. Make sure to ask about the scamming aspect of it as well.

Pro Tip: Find a sponsor to fill up the isk for the last plex. Problem solved.
I'll cover that. VV - shoot me a mail with the amount.
If for some reason RAW can't cover it I will cover it.

Congrats VV, you just had your name an avatar on the big screen in the CCP Presents event going on now when they mentioned the Plex For Good program.
I guess you are now CCP endorsed

The whole operation has been documented on Vahrokh's Youtube channel with this video: Link.
Is this your proof that donations were sent to ccp?
I'd say that and the fact that VV isn't banned for scamming with the PFG program.
Remember VV was posted at fanfest as part of the PFG program. I'm pretty sure CCP would follow up if it was a scam.

... it is probably the closest possible approximation of 'proof'.
I for one refuse to accept screenshots as 'proof' of donations. It can't be that difficult for ccp to post here and tell us how many plexes were donated.
How about a CCP devblog?
Block, have you been able to get CCP to vouch for you? Didn't think so. Keep on moving those assets around so your "audit" looks good when it's done from a clean account.

[T]he majority of whatever you donate to a cause through Red Cross goes to administration, after that whatever is left over goes to the victims [...]
Can you please explain the basis on which you make this claim?
Reviewing independently-audited financial statements for several national Red Cross/Red Crescent organizations and the ICRC suggests that the administrative "overhead" tends to be closer to 10%, which is far from "the majority".
Thoraemond, I wish you would do a little research.
For the tax year 2009 the Red Cross had :
3.3 billion in revenue (page 2, line 12)
1.7 billion in salary (page 2, line 15)
35,103 employees (page 2, line 5)
That is 51.51% of donations directly to salaries. That is before any rent, utilities, office supplies, ect...
That comes out to over 48,000 US dollars per employee in wages and benefits.
If you worked 40 hours a week (standard work week), that is over 23 dollars an hour.

Still think charities are a good thing?
edit: Go to page 9 and look at the 3rd name, GAIL MCGOVERN
PRESIDENT AND CEO - 995,718!!!
1 million a year for the CEO?!?!?! That is as much is not more as a Fortune 500 company.
