A Texas firm that manages hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations to the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps says it has not been authorized to divulge a detailed accounting of the funds, despite assurances by the MCDC's top official that it would do so.
Maureen E. Otis -- president of American Caging Inc. in Stafford, Texas, an agency hired to collect, deposit and disburse donations to the civilian border-patrol group -- told The Washington Times that neither MCDC President Chris Simcox nor the group's board of directors had given her permission to "disclose any numbers."
Mr. Simcox, who has been criticized by current and former MCDC members for a lack of leadership and financial accountability, had referred The Times to Mrs. Otis, saying she could "tell you everything" to clear up the concerns.
Instead, Mrs. Otis issued a statement saying only that all Minuteman donations have been "securely collected, counted and deposited" in MCDC bank accounts.
Telephone calls to Mr. Simcox in Phoenix, where he reportedly is on paternity leave, were routed to Minuteman spokeswoman Connie Hair in Virginia, who said the organization was not going to release "any unaudited numbers." She said that an audit will be completed in November and that any release of figures prior to that "is just not going to happen......."

LOL.....this is one of your very best ever. :-)
Thanks for the info. :-)
You know, it really doesn't matter, because they've duped enough people who will believe what she says, and who will keep sending money no matter how few results they see, just because they believe in The Cause.
So Connie, the Sheldons, Mary Parker Lewis, Alan Keyes, and plenty of others will continue to make a very good living, while people who probably can't really afford it will continue to send donations in hopes of seeing results.
The people who are sending money to these groups, I believe, are good, sincere, well-meaning people, who can't (or maybe don't want to) believe that groups claiming to be founded on moral, religious, and conservative principles might in reality be scam artists.
Can you prove any of this? I have seen no proof that any of these accusations are true. Until I see proof I don't care. Why should I?
There are laws on how businesses and charities and everything in between are to be run. He hasn't followed any of them.
Again show me the proof!
Neither has he done ANYTHING whatsoever, to keep illegals out of this country.
Were you there to witness that nothing was done?
THERE ARE NO RESULTS, from Simcox's group; NONE.
He started a movement, that has resulted in National Guard troops on the border, Yes on the Border, I have seen them, I have talked to them, I have spoken to BP agents who are happy they are there. Achiving the original goal, falls into the category of NO RESULTS in your mind? One of us is missing something here.
He built a CATTLE fence for a rancher who didn't want to spend his own money on a new one.
What does that have to do with anything?
What exactly is "The Cause"?
I think some people would like a more thorough explanantion on the relationship between the MM and the Declaration Alliance.

"Factor Follow Up Segment
Money for the Minutemen
Guest: Chris Simcox, Minutemen
Where is all of the money being donated to the border-patrolling Minutemen group going?"
I suppose your alternative is to just let them come, right?
The scammers just keep on moving from one scam to another, lining their collective pockets. They don't care who they bilk, nor who or what cause they hurt; they have theirs and that's all that matters to them.
EV-entually we'll get to the bottom of this.
Either they are clean or they aren't, but I would think that they would be RUSHING to prove they are clean, yet they aren't.
Circumstantial yes, but their PR campaign sucks.
He's now lying about filing with the IRS. He says that Nov. 15th is WHEN is was supposed to file. No mention of the TWO extensions he's already gotten.
He claims that he hired the caging company in APRIL OF 2005. LOL
He's claiming that most of the money went to buying equipment, equipment we all know were NOT bought, but which were donated.
Well, that was short and nothing but lies and more lies.
EV-entually, perhaps we'll get something other than all of this obfuscation; but I doubt it.
O'Reilly did not prepare for this one.
One million six, but that's what Simcox claims; it might me a great deal more. Simcox now says he have no idea how much money has been collected.
yep
I wonder, EV-entually they have to file, even though they just absolutely blew that question as you pointed out.
Pretty sickening.
I'm 100% certain there's fire behind the smoke now. If you filed for an extension, just say so. Don't lie about it.
I completely agree. Do you realize that we saw an entire interview and there was one thing that was not mentioned.......the fence. The fence which was used to fool people into sending their money.
That is right! They did not mention the fence.

Opposing Jim and Tammy Faye Baker did not equate to Satanism. Asking "Where's the fence?" does not equate to speaking Spanish. Wake up. Simcox is all talk and no fence. They've collected a million dollars. Where's the fence?
