(Bloomberg) -- A pro-Trump group that promised to challenge the Nov. 3 election results and expose fraud was sued by a North Carolina money manager who donated $2.5 million to the cause but says he didnt get his moneys worth.
Fred Eshelman, founder of Eshelman Ventures LLC, wants his money back, saying he regularly and repeatedly asked for updates on the project but his requests were consistently met with vague responses, platitudes, and empty promises, according to the lawsuit filed Wednesday in Houston federal court.
Houston-based True the Vote Inc. had promised a multi-pronged plan to investigate, litigate, and expose suspected illegal balloting and fraud in the 2020 general election, according to the lawsuit.
In the weeks after the election, True the Vote filed four lawsuits, but it dropped them all last week. While we stand by the voters testimony that was brought forth, barriers to advancing our arguments, coupled with constraints on time, made it necessary for us to pursue a different path, the group announced on its website on Nov. 17.

I have a dream. Putin is overthrown by the democracy movement in Russia and it causes Republicans to finally see the light.

(7,927 posts)The first remarks made in True the Vote's defense don't hold water. There was never proof sufficient to pursue those cases, and True the Vote had to know that. They sounded like a scam when I first heard of them and they still do.
This may get heard in court yet. Judges don't like it when lawyers do stupid in their courts. I don't know how far the case will go but it's going to rest on how the promise was made.
