I'm sure it's all fine. The original question or concern came from an anon wondering if anarchist mutual-aid organizations set up outside of the state (no tax identification number) could be accountable for ( could there be embezzlement). One, embezzlement happens all the time (even in state-registered non-profits), and, two, the reputation accountability is pretty fierce amongst anarchists (my term). This, coupled with the strong hearts of the individuals running the ABCs, has me completely unconcerned. I do think it is best to know the ABC chapter members or the prisoner directly if you are concerned about embezzlement.

I don't know, but I imagine if an ABC treasurer did speak publically, tbe question of embezzlement would be a mute one. "Yes, all the money comes from my eccess wages; embezzlement what?"

If entirely online ABCs start happening ... idk. What a scummy thing to do; front online as an ABC. That why I say give funds directly to the prisoner if you are concerned. I have given funds to mutual aid groups online without having met any of the people. So .... don't look at me! :-)
