Period. This is not a case of poor financial management and we should all wait and hope he can make it right in the end. The funds taken in for various league registrations belonged to the leagues. At no time whatsoever were those funds available for the use of Count Me In's business expenses. Their business expenses were to be covered by the $3.50 fee processed on each transaction. The transaction fee monies belonged to Count Me In, the registration monies belonged to leagues and were monies 'held in trust'. The fact that Count Me In threw that money into their operating funds is not "a mistake", it was theft. We are talking about $5 million dollars worth of other people's money. Many of those families cannot afford to pay twice for sports fees. Getting the money back on their credit cards through the dispute process has limitations and since this has gone on for so long most people won't be able to use that recourse. Plain and simple, the man is a crook, he has intentionally robbed thousands of people of their money. He should be in jail already. Giving him more time only gives him time to file bankruptcy after getting protections for his personal assets in place. Wake up people. Demand he pay it back now or go to jail.
