Can you clarify what exactly you mean by "more layers of this stinky onion that have yet to be peeled away"? Do you think there is anyone other than the three members of the forum who participated in this and got some financial benefit?
No, I'm not saying there are more members involved.  But just based on all the BS I've seen on this forum over the years with situations like this, I'm kind of expecting evidence of more misappropriation of funds to be forthcoming.  So far crwth and bL4nkcode have yet to chime in, and I see that as an ominous sign.

Cabalism13 never said anything about needing funds from the charity due to the typhoon, just the story about his father--and frankly I wouldn't take that on face value when we're talking about embezzlement, so I'm not sure why you or anyone else would want to support his excuses (and that's exactly what they are).  How do any of us know that he was faced with a life-or-death situation with his father, where the only option was to take money out of the charity funds?  We've only got the word of someone who went silent after spending money that wasn't his and then after he was caught, stormed off and blamed the community for not trusting him enough (or whatever).

Frankly, if you're going to be holding funds for a charity or anything else that requires you not to dip your hand into the cookie jar, you really should be financially well off enough such that you wouldn't need to.  So the bottom line is that Cabalism shouldn't have had access to an entire pool of charity funds (or even 1/3 of it) if a $500 expense was enough to provoke him to steal.

If I were him I would've gotten a separate loan from DS for the $500 with a shorter due date... or used one of these lending platforms assuming that the crypto cannot be directly liquidated: https://spendmenot.com/best/bitcoin-lending-sites/
Again, that's assuming the story about his father is true.  I don't suspect we'll ever know for sure.
