IPL Charity Stream to Support Amanda (PPSL) 11/14

IMPORTANT: the flights are now covered, and Amanda should be fine: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=285511&currentpage=25#487

further donations will be for "paying event salaries (casters, talent, staff, etc.) and other event-related expenses"

Hi all,

I'm sure you are all by now at least aware of the incredible amount of issues that occurred during the PPSL the weekend before last. There remains a major issue that we, on behalf of Amanda who worked with the PPSL, are reaching out to the community to try to solve. That issue is, unfortunately, finances.

Right now the PPSL has around $23,000 in unpaid debt. $7,000 of that will be paid by us, but it seems like Gus, the organizer of the PPSL, is nowhere to be found and is not owning up to the remaining debt. The issue with this is that it is not Gus' name whom is liable for this debt. He used Amanda, who works at a travel agency, to book the hotel and flights. The total amount of this debt that is related to travel is $12,000. If this does not get paid by November 21st, her business (the travel agency) will have to stop operations until the amount is paid, plus penalties. They will not be allowed to make reservations and create tickets and will be in essence, shut down. In addition it opens up the possibility that Amanda will be arrested or sued.

Here's what the IPL is going to do to help try to resolve the situation:

Tonight we are going to be running our stream with replays of some of the top PPSL games. All proceeds generated by the stream tonight will be directly given to Amanda. In addition, we are opening a 'Support Amanda' button, which allows anyone to donate to Amanda's bills. We are not taking a single cent of this money.

I know a lot of people will say this isn't their problem, and that's true to an extent. This is more of a plea to the community to help out someone who tried to make esports grow and got completely and utterly screwed. We are looking to raise at minimum $5000 to at least cover the expenses of travel and protect Amanda from going to jail and her business being shut down. If there is overage it will go to paying event salaries (casters, talent, staff, etc.) and other event-related expenses, but we feel like it's most important to protect and support Amanda at this point.

If nothing else, please tune in tonight to our stream to have your ad revenue forwarded on to Amanda. The games we will be broadcasting tonight at 5 PM PDT are: Moon vs azk.JS, MarineKingPrime vs oGs.MC, and FXO.whale vs MarineKingPrime

The 'Support Amanda' button is live on our site at http://www.ign.com/ipl - you can give as little as $1. Please help out someone who is caught up in a terrible situation.

Thank you.

This is a great thing you're doing.

Maybe SOTG can actually discuss this now that the facts are suitably established?

I did not follow all this stuff thoroughly, but:

"...but it seems like Gus, the organizer of the PPSL, is nowhere to be found..."

it pretty much sums up everything for me.

scam

You should publish his picture? Aren't we allowed to do this?
I know in some countries you can publish some data about person who commit a crime as a form of punishment.

I'll leave my computer tuned into the stream as long as I'm able, even when I'm not there.

Good luck.

I'll be tuning in every computer at my office, as well as my house, and chipping in a few $$.

This is a great move my IGN and the IPL, it's terrible what happened at PPSL, but hopefully IGN and the community can help right the wrongs.

You can link Paypal to your debit account, although it's not the best idea (in case someone gets your paypal account info). I have it that way because my debit account has fraud protection.

IF it isn't a Visa debit card (like mine), then I'm afraid its impossible (in most countries). But you can link your Aussie bank acc to an aussie paypal account.

Definitely going to watch to help Amanda, that bastard Gus dragged down a shitload of people while running off with more than $12,000 in his pocket.

The debt that Gus owes is enormous, seriously, what kind of a fucking scumbag does that kind of shit?

Will there be an EU re-broadcast that also donates proceeds to the Save Amanda fund?
