Dr. Phil's Interview w/ George & Cindy Anthony - Thread #3

[LambChop]

Don't worry, we'll hear all about it. He's already trying the case in the media. Same old Jose! More lies.... Trying to get another murderer off scott free. As far as I am concerned Gary is responsible for Robyn's dissappearance. Gary's track record is of an abusive disgusting Man. The fact that Gary was shopping for a date to take to Aruba not even caring if he new the person is really quite damming if you ask me.

GG's family is wasting their money is my guess. JB can't do anything in Aruba and probably less in MD. He does not have a license there. Isn't it a little "unethical" to take money from a family in a state you can't practice in? Is he acting as a consultant???? He did say he was "hired". I don't know what the laws are in MD. jmo

He wanted to make sure they understood that the fund is monitored.

How do you know that for sure?

 

[MarthaM]

I think you are right..but leave it to him to cloud things up. lol. I am not a big fan.

Me neither. I didn't mind him when he was first starting out as just an occasional guest on Oprah, but once he got his own show he really started rubbing me the wrong way.

I thought this interview with the Anthonys was a pretty useless one. I was expecting or hoping for something way better than that. Not controversial or with jawdropping revelations, just something more interesting that told me something I didn't know.

Actually his comment about the license was not about when they would get the money. It was posed in a question he asked about whether they would receive any of the money.

The link is quoted in post #414.

Well of course they will receive the money at some time from Dr Phil. That was the whole point of the "donation" wasn't it? MOO.

Sadly, the IRS does not monitor all that well. If they fill out their 990's each year and do not break any of the basics(like endorsing a political candidate, going over the number of allowed hours lobbying without registering as a lobbyist), they don't look that closely. Other watchdogs groups do, though. Mostly, if complaints are made to the state 's attoney general's office in which they are incorporated...that gets more attention..that and the media.

Sorry I forgot the IMO. It was a continuation of my post above it.

To me, since it was posed in a question where Dr. Phil was explaining that he dis not expect the A's to get any if the money, it is my opinion he was making sure the A's knew the fund would be monitored.

No. Not really.

The whole point of the donation was to donate to the fund. Dr. Phil asked the right questions about the A's not bring able to take a salary.
They said they wouldn't.

If they lied, they lied.

We will soon find out.

The records are public aren't they? It will be monitored.
We can and do pull up the records here all the time.

Boy, me too. I wish he had really pushed on CA's insistence that Casey was a great mom and that she had never had any problems before her pregnancy. I feel he sooo missed the boat and just accepted that everything was fine before she had hormonal induced grand mall seizures that left a prefectly normal loving woman with a bad case of post partem schizophenia lol

 

[Kimberlyd125]

He didn't buy anything CA said. He made that quite clear.

But monitored by who? Once that money is in the foundation they can do whatever they wish with it. Right.

What it boils down to is that someone is in control of the fund and how the money is spent. It just happens to be the Anthonys. If disbursements are for expenses and not salary's I guess they are in the clear. MOO.

Actually he asked very few good Q's about their charity IMO. And just becuase they said they don't plan to take a salary there is nothing to stop them ...and we will not know it if they are both paid under $50,000. They will only need to report the top compensated salaires above that mark.And private charities are not required to disclose their financial info except for those 990's. It may be in their best interest PR wise, but it is not public info except for the tax 990s.

What is to stop them from transferring funds from one foundation to another and using the money to pay their expenses....all of them? jmo

I know there are rules governing closing a charity and what you can do with the money...you can give it to another charity, spend it down on programming...but that's a great Q about transferring and I don't know. ANybody know??

Interesting post. Crimesnooper, do you know if besides the $49,999 ea that the Anthonys can be paid without discloser, can they use monies from the fund for other expenses? Can transportation (cars),office (their house maybe), phones, food (for meetings) and things such as this be paid for out of the foundations monies? Thanks.

 

[crimesnooper]

I think the one thing that stands out in my mind about the interview was when Dr.P was asking CA if she would welcome a relationship, ect with Casey. There was a point where CA said yes, kind of smiled and said "Oh she knows I'm mad at her". I actually felt sick. She has reduced this all to just a little blip in their relationship.Like she's mad becuase Casey missed curfew again.

 

[Kimberlyd125]

Financial records are kept and reported. They are available to the public.

I guess they could do what they wanted but it will be reported. We will know what, if anything they took in the form if salary.

And Dr. Phil will too.

Then how do we all know what was spent on salary from the other fund?

That's right. All I've seen about their previous foundation was an 80% expenditure for administrative costs or something to that affect. MOO.
