~as it involved smaller amounts the transparency was at a high level and the whole charity was run in a professional way. When someone donated 1 BTC and it was decided to transfer the funds to stablecoins things got a little out of hand with the obvious lack of activity of the members who ran the whole project.

This makes it even more look like "opportunity makes the thief". When there's more money involved, I'd expect more accurate accounting, not less.

What is not clear to me is whether it was something that in the end got out of hand because they received much more money than they expected.

In May and November last year 1BTC was donated. Those were worth $9k and $16k at the time. I can imagine it's suddenly a lot more work to distribute a lot this money than it was with $30 at a time when this thing started. I can also imagine it's also a lot easier staying honest with $30 than it is when someone hands you 3 annual salaries. That doesn't mean you're a thief, but in my opinion it does mean you have to work extra hard to make sure nobody gets any reason to doubt anything you did! By not doing that, all we can do is guess and speculate, and that's entirely due to your lack of transparency.

It used to say it in the title: $1 Is A Big Thing For Them. I've seen the pictures of shopping carts with groceries. However, 2BTC can buy many hundreds if not thousands of full shopping carts. Where are those pictures?
Until the first 1BTC was donated, the pictures of this charity looked really good, and look like all the money was well spend. But this was much less than 1BTC, probably even less than a tenth of that. Which means I'd expect at least ten times more items to be donated later on.
Then:

BIG NEWS EVERYONE!

I don't know if its an accident or what, but it seems someone has transferred 1BTC to our Charity.
This is a BIG SHOCK to me actually, I don't know what to do and what to say, but there's one thing I can assure to all of you, the money will go to different orphanages and other helpless people out there that seems having a hard living in this scenario.
Current Balance: 1.03331019 BTC

After this, there were still pictures posted, but none of it looks like it came even close to spending 1.6BTC. But I can only guess, as no amounts are specified.
The spreadsheet is not publicly accessible:

Also good to know: when cabalism13 announced to pull funds out of escrow, 0.55387486BTC worth 18,308.30USD was moved.

This didn't age well:

At this point even the donation addresses were no longer public.

If someone could give a brief TL;DR history of this apparent debacle, I'd be greatly appreciative.

It's partially on a local board, which makes it even harder to get the full picture.

I'm also wondering when exactly any of these members were going to give an accounting of the funds and their activities if yahoo62278 hadn't pushed them to.

My guess: never. Why else didn't anyone keep track of all transactions?
Although I must say this sounds promising from crwth:

I'm currently helping compile all the transactions and ask for their breakdown with the funds that were gotten for activities. I have mine and just need to input it into the final spreadsheet.

Then again, 1.5 years ago he wrote this already:

My personal target with this, if I were to receive the amount with the region, I could provide 300 - 500 pax. Of course, I would document everything and show you guys the step by step of this activity.

TO ALL WATCHERS AND COMMENTATORS: we're not talking about the 2 BTC here, but only .4 BTC

It wouldn't hurt to include the full 2.12264434BTC in the spreadsheet, so all numbers can be verified in the overview.
