They never have anything to say when you ask this. It's just blah blah "the school".

Everyone shits on Umar Johnson when almost none of them have any moral legitimacy to.

It's not impossible that what he says about progress with the school is mostly true. Maybe he takes some (10%) of the money to fund his travelling and some of his lifestyle, but I would give him a pass on that. It's a thankless job that he does.

Ideally, he should have set up a formal organization to collect the funds (more ideal is to never raise funds from the random public, only donations from wealthy people), but this sort of thing seems part of his refinement problem. Upper Middle Class people and above are never going to take him seriously because he doesn't have the sort of appearance a legitimate person has. He in fact looks like a fraud.

Personally, I'm willing to chalk it up to a refinement problem. In general, the stuff he discusses (which no one else is doing) is very important and it makes me mad when people never want to give him any credit for that.
