Man Sues For A Refund Of $2.5M He Donated To Trump Election Challenge Group.....

[global1]

A man who donated $2.5m to help Donald Trump's crusade to overturn the elections is asking for his money back.

Fred Eshelman, the donor, is suing Houston-based "True the Vote Inc" for what he claims are "empty promises," Bloomberg reported. . .

Mr Eshelman supported the group under the pretense that they would find evidence of voter fraud. However, as their lawsuits failed - as have almost all of the lawsuits filed by supporters of Mr Trump in attempts to overturn the election - Mr Eshelman has decided he wants a refund.

He claimed that he "regularly and repeatedly" asked True the Vote Inc for updates on their initiatives, but was given "vague responses, platitudes, and empty promises."

I've lost a lot of respect for Mr. Eshelman. How could a man so smart and successful be sucked in and conned by Trump? Why did it take him 4-5 years to realize that he's been conned by Trump. It makes me question his judgement.

Now I question his decision to sue True to Vote Inc.. I think he should have just chalked up his donation to this qroup as a bad business decision and kept it to himself. Now that he's sued this group - bringing his donation into the open - it makes him look like he was sucked into Trump's cult - which in reality - he was.

It was a bad decision in the first place to make such a donation. IMHO it was another bad decision to now sue and expose his support for Trump over the last 4-5 years.

Fred has been very successful in life. My God - he's got a Pharmacy School in North Carolina named after him. I was proud that he achieved so much in life. Now I've lost may respect for this guy. Kinda Sad!!!!

1. a mark and his money

2. They don't have a prayer but...

I’m hoping it both inspires other donors to ask for theirs back, and scares off future donors.

5. I think you're right, if one guy lost his money to trump and his scams, believe me, he's going to

whine and moan and bitch and rant and rave etc. to his other rich friends, who in turn will remember this later. So whenever (and I doubt trump and/or his ilk will ever run again due to other more pressing issues, such as escaping jail terms) these thugs try to raise money in the future, there will be a lot fewer 'marks' around.

3. You're right-- how did he never notice??

Why would he donate that much to Trump's idiotic quest to overturn an election?

I'm sure he already donates plenty to charity, but maybe he should have considered that $2.5 million could have done more (much) good for the local soup kitchens.

7. Republicans never support soup kitchens

It's against their religion.
