Default Re: AP Visit: I\'m going to Costa Rica

[ QUOTE ]
I visited the 2006 WSOP and paid a buck for popcorn at the AP booth. (I wanted to watch the end of the World Cup game on their big TV.) I don't remember if there was a notice posted or if they told me as I bought it that the buck would go to charity.

Does anyone have a photo? Without some sort of evidence that they were claiming this money would be given to charity, I don't see what a call to the Vegas police would accomplish.

I'm not doubting that there was this fundraiser - but it is a huge leap to go from:

"Absolute ran a charity fundraiser"

to:

"Absolute stole money intended for a charity fundraiser"

I think it is safe to assume that there was some sort of popcorn fundraiser - that's just too specific and too bizarre to be made up. However, to go the next step - and allege that the money was stolen when there is literally zero evidence of that is just wrong.

Simply because it is theoretically possible does not make it likely (let alone proved beyond reasonable doubt.
