A Paypal account has been set up for the purpose of collecting donations for Thai/Arelas' widow and children. The email address to send payments as well as any correspondence/questions/etc. to is ri­pt­ha­iar­el­a­sl­i­am­gc­om.

A bank account at Wells Fargo has also been set up. The account number is 5560666553. It's under my name - Rebecca Zaugg. Arrangements will be made to send all funds donated directly to Thai's widow as often as necessary.

The Paypal account isn't yet verified but will be within a few days. If you are unable or unwilling to use paypal but would still like to donate via bank deposit or wire transfer, please contact me directly.

I'm an accountant by schooling and take fiduciary responsibility very seriously. Deepapathy and Chantel have been given the usernames and passwords associated with the email, paypal and bank accounts dedicated to this purpose and will be my checks and balances during this process. I've asked one other TFette I know and trust to be a fourth set of eyes and will give her all associated information once she agrees.

If you have any questions, concerns, whatever, please contact me using any current information you have or through ri­pt­ha­iar­el­a­sl­i­am­gc­om.

I swear those typos aren't in the Word version of my DIT.

sweetmelissa31: so sad

Is it Brett? I don't think I can read that :(

make me some tea: It's a bereavement account. Deposits only. They do it all the time and publish acct #s on local news broadcasts.

This is kinda what I was thinking, Bixia. I mean, I know no good deed goes unpunished and all, but f*ck it. At the moment I'm more concerned with doing something than worrying about it, y'know?

Bixia Yuanjin: But if you're not worried about it, then I agree, fark it.

If someone steals from me, they must need it more than I do, so whatever. Besides, I don't have anything worth taking, money or otherwise. I'm watching these paypal and bank accounts with a hawk eye, and will do everything I can to ensure their safety.

Bixia Yuanjin: frickinsweet: If someone steals from me, they must need it more than I do, so whatever.

I had an ex-BF who said that to me once when my car was broken into and my stuff stolen.

He was crappy in the sack.

wonder what else I have in common with him

maddogdelta: ****SLAP****

I lol'd.

SchlingFocker: Is it safe to say you'll be very anal when it comes to making sure all the money goes to his widow?

I see what you did there.

SchlingFocker: Let me know once Paypal is up.

It's up, just not verified, which takes a couple of business days. Already a handful of donations :)

ElAuttin: what state is the account held in. if I walk into a WF branch to make a deposit, I may need to know.

Good point. Utah.

mosten: paypal won't accept ripthaiarelasliamgcom as a valid email address.

those are dots between the three words...maybe try typing it out instead of copypaste?
