on his promise to match the donations. He induced others to donate to MAW on the promise that he would match their contributions.

Approximately $10k came in after that promise. And he did so clearly to win the goodwill of the public and to protect his reputation. If he doesn’t cut a check and follow through after making promises to donors, I don’t know, but that looks a little like fraud to me.

Nothing wrong with asking for accountability when money is on the line.
