... plus I don't believe the charity was started with the intention of scamming anyone. I think temptation and the availability of a large amount of money got the best of at least one of the members involved.
I have the same opinion, and I think so far everyone I've seen commenting on the thread has said the same thing. That in the beginning the intention was good. Probably neither they themselves cared too much about keeping receipts nor the community to control it because if you get a $50 donation, another $20 donation and I give you another $25 donation, if you show me some pictures that's enough, but if you get a whole Bitcoin, you have to be very careful.
If this were a criminal trial (which obviously it's not,) then yes, I would be in agreement. But this is more like a civil suit where the proving liability, not guilt is the criteria. Which brings me to the part of your quote that I bolded: When someone is charged with handling other people's money (such as charitable contributions,) it's that person's responsibility to provide the evidence of where the money is going. Since crwth is guilty of not honoring that obligation, in my opinion that's enough for a tag and flag.
In the end I deleted my neutral tag and supported the flag, partly because of this argument and partly because of the fact that they disappeared from the forum days ago. If I considered myself innocent I wouldn't do that.
To me they consider themselves somehow guilty and defeated. bL4nkcode used to earn $100 a week from the Best Change signature campaign. That's good money for someone living in the Philippines. crwth didn't write as much but he also made money from the campaign. Think of them as people who have borrowed money on the forum, some as little as $200.
If I considered myself innocent, even if I didn't keep all the receipts, I would have come more for this thread to show my face and fight for my reputation and save my income.
