All perfect questions, I am asking myself these also.
But I do know she has supporters who send her money, now, wondering exactly how much, but it could be a few thousand or so total?? Like $2,000-$3000 over these many months. And you can receive so much $$ in "gifts" before you have to report it to the IRS. These supporter people do exist.
I just wonder if they can only ask if FCA received $$ DIRECTLY from CA/GA/Foundation. Or does an "indirect donation", for example as you mention that church, that didn't go directly to FCA, but was a "quid pro quo" kind of deal (if it happened), i.e.,
"Here Church, have a nice donation of $30,000", Quid Pro Quo - Please feed and house FCA for 6 months and take care of all of her needs", or whatever.......
same with whoever else she stayed with, "Here Security Firm PI People housing/feeding/clothing FCA, we will pay you for her keeping her safe from all of the death threats, so here is $15,000," Quid Pro Quo - Please feed and house FCA for 8 months and take care of all of her needs."
Or, does anyone who has housed FCA really belong to some other charity/church/, et c., where money was again given in the GUISE of a donation????
Since this was not $$ DIRECTLY paid to FCA, or even given for a REASON directly for FCA, like "donation to church", people donate to churches all the time, or like "security", not directly TO FCA.
Even though we would KNOW $$ given like that IS for FCA, the LEGAL meaning might not suffice for this purpose. Smart people who are involved in these kinds of things HIDE $$ all the time. I'm just hoping they AREN"T as smart as they THINK THEY ARE :rocker:
lease:
Anyway, that is why I hope we can read the actual Ruling, I want to see EXACTLY what kinds of records they can request/subpoena and from whom.
or, conversely, if FCA just says "no", I have not received $$ directly from the Foundation, is that the end of the story????
Will be very very interesting!!!!! :woohoo:
