DONE!
[ www.waxy.org ] Some unfortunate news, everybody. Ghyslain, aka the "Star Wars Kid," and his family may be pursuing legal action against the individual(s) who originally posted his video on the Internet. Their legal counsel, Mr. François Vigeant, conducted an interview with Radio Canada which was just posted to www.jish.nu ] transcript, or the [ www.jish.nu ] excerpt translated to English. I've added an unofficial translation of the entire interview below, courtesy of [ www.prunebelly.org ] Tierney.) During the 12-minute interview, Mr. Vigeant states that he heard about the fundraiser, but that his client has not received any gifts yet. Be aware that we've attempted to contact Ghyslain and his parents numerous times since the fundraiser was closed, to find out how Ghyslain wanted the money spent. After many unsuccessful e-mails and phone calls, we finally spoke to Ghyslain last night. He informed us that he was advised by his lawyer not to discuss the case, but mentioned that he was not pursuing legal action against the two of us. The fundraiser money sits untouched in a Paypal account. If this matter is not resolved by June 10, or if Ghyslain and his family decide to refuse the fundraiser gifts entirely, we'll refund all of donations through Paypal immediately. A sincere apology to all the kind-hearted people who tried to help. We'll post more news as we're able to. Update: We spoke to Ghyslain's lawyer this morning, and he assured us that any gifts we could send from our fundraising efforts are appreciated and welcomed. As a result, we'll buy the 30GB iPod (shipped direct from [ apple.ca ] this weekend and spend the remainder of the funds on a [ FutureShop.ca ] (a Canadian electronics store) gift certificate in Ghyslain's name. These two gifts will be shipped to the lawyer's office in Ghyslain's name. For the items in the [ www.jish.nu ] Bin", we will contact the contributors and ask that they ship the items directly. Update #2: In light of the recent events, several people have inquired about refunds. We will be e-mailing everyone that donated shortly to inform them about the recent events and give them the opportunity to request a refund. Any refund request made by midnight PST on Monday, June 2, 2003 will be honored. The remainder of the funds will be used as detailed in the update above. Update #3: Out of 421 donations, 44 people requested refunds, including our anonymous $500 contributor. The new total is $3,475.44, which totals to $3,254.09 after Paypal fees. View the [ www.waxy.org ] spreadsheet (in CSV format). We'll buy the iPod and gift certificate this week. [ more...]">www.waxy.org ] |
