January 16, 2008 - Here's the scoop.
There was a problem with Paypal. One of the donors had an Arabic name and there was suspicion it was coming from the middle-east so they froze everything. However, they seem to have made it very difficult to get the funds transferred. It could be nothing but it could also have been malintentioned.
We need some facts about paypal. Can someone try and dig up who are behind this company and who they have contributed to? Please post your source when you find something.
It is not over when it's over! Apparently, there's no rule in NH that says the money has to be paid up-front. I suggested to them to try and get a document from Paypal as proof that the money is in the account and will be transferred after these account issues are resolved.
They spoke with Albert a little earlier before I called so this is fresh info.
Please, try not to call the grannys all day long because they've been getting bombarded with calls.
Pay Pal is owned by e-Bay. Meg Whitman is the CEO and President of e-Bay.
