Look guys I don't know what has happened for sure, but from what I've researched hi didn't stole the money. Ken Johnson was the guy who took advantage of a beautiful idea for his own personal interest. How I know for sure? I don't, but similar thing has happened to me, so I sympathise. I had an idea to help young and aspiring artist become something with there art. I wanted to create a place where they can gather, exchange and channel there ides. To provide a social channel for there affirmation, and an institutional help they needed. My idea was solid but it was only that an idea - I had no money and no space. My brother from my aunt was a painter but is working all kind of jobs to survive - roof construction and other manual labour being a waiter etc. I proposed the idea to him, having him in mind first when it comes to the type of people the idea is trying to help. Long story short it was my project and everyone knew that I was backing it up. I did interviews for radio show, local newspapers, even most established national TV stations. We where looking for investors and sponsors, and found out about a contest that Erste Bank organized that was based on cultural development. We won the grant from a bank, had all sort of donations - from individuals, private firms, other institutions, and whats most important we had the will of all people to help out the idea. Interior designer would charge for the design, we had around 20 people crew willing to work for free - great social capital at our disposal. AND MY OWN BROTHER fucked everything up. I caught him withdrawing about 1000 euros from the bank without me knowing. When confronted he made an excuse and said that the money is still there but its in cash and he did it so that we wont go to the bank so often. We confronted again about that money (he didn't put it back in the bank) he started to be aggressive, telling me its non of my business and stuff. Then he confessed about spending the money, and the damage was irreversible (there where some legal issues on how you have to justify money when spending it), so I left the project devastated knowing that it was all gone to shit, and notified the bank, and other people working for us so that they won't waste any more of there time. They didn't want to stop, non of them realized what had he done, and he said to them that we had a fight about the title of the CEO. Later I've been informed that he took all of the money (in total about 5000 euros), and left the country. As someone who was the face of that project like Jeff was for Galt's Gulch I had tough time explaining that I had nothing to do with it.
