The Madeleine Fund beginnings.

[Lace]

Look... well that just has to be tough then lace.....

I stick to what I said ...about the first bucket put in reception ...

maybe...best I put IIRC ..for you...

by the way,..... the doctor's bucket was at the hospital,,,not OC foyer...

I don't know why this bothers you so much.....



I think you should be more concerned about this...


Companies House ‘Current Appointments Report’ shows that Madeleine’s Fund – Leaving No Stone Unturned Limited’ was created on this day:

Current Appointments Report for:
MADELEINE’S FUND: LEAVING NO STONE UNTURNED LIMITED
06248215

company was created 12th May 2007

It was initially set up, on behalf of the McCanns, in 48 hours, by the International Family Law Group (IFLG). This does appear to be something of a rush job. When jobs are rushed mistakes can be made.

Business, charity, or scam?

“It is thought the original idea was to set the fund up as a charity but this was rejected, according to The Times, when it became clear that a charity cannot be operated for the sole benefit of one person. The Charity Commission later denied this.

One of the things that distinguishes a limited company from a charity is that it does not have all the rules and regulations which govern the conduct of the fundraising and which controls the proportion of the charities funds that are spent on overheads, expenses and wages etc.

It was also reported at the time that the Charity Commission was extremely disturbed at the way the Fund was being advertised as it gave people the impression that they were donating to a charity – not a private limited company.

The reality is, however unpalatable, that Madeleine’s Fund is a private limited company and can therefore spend the money donated in any way it so chooses. The memorandum of association is so wide that practically any expenditure could be approved by the board of directors“.

Ah, so I'm meant to believe you,    nothing to back up what you said.    In the first few days the McCann's as they have said were not functioning,   you want me to think that they in the midst of being absolutely devastated that Madeleine went missing, they  went out and put a bucket outside the reception of the Ocean Club,  as you put it a 'begging bucket'   well I'm sorry no I don't believe that at all,  it's a myth.

Why should I be concerned by the rest of your post?

This was a discussion about events in the first few days of Madeleine’s disappearance - it helps if you read things in context.

What was the date,Brian Kennedy said it would be used mainly for legal expenditure?

I have no interest in what YOU believe...

Or trying to convince you otherwise....

If you have no interest in my post .....just don't reply...

It's as simple as that....

That was just the start.........The libel trial was to follow

The fund spent £111,522 on legal fees and expenses and £81,904 on posters and television and newspaper adverts appealing for information about Madeleine. Mr and Mrs McCann, both 40, set up the fund in May 2007.

Legal fees did not include the McCann's lawyers,   read it again.

[Lace]

The Fund also met the legal fees involved in the setting up of the private limited company but the Fund’s directors ruled that they could not use it to pay the legal team defending them against Portuguese allegations that they were involved in Madeleine’s disappearance. That has been met by a separate fund, using donations from wealthy benefactors including Sir Richard Branson.

Actually he said 'legal expenditure'.

Gerry's Mum was in Rothley too on 17th May for some reason. She reported that Gerry sounded brighter. When asked why she gave several reasons.

1. 'Us' being here with 'the family'.
2. The Fund 'stacking up'
3. Gerry's boss being helpful.
