After last week’s revelations about the now-defunct Empowerment Fund, one more buddies of Lulu board member, Leigh Dragoon, comments. Here’s an excerpt (link no longer available):

3. The Empowerment Fund is a defunct idea which buddies of Lulu will no longer be pursuing.

4. I have taken a look at the PayPal statements. There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that Ronee misappropriated any type of funds. In fact, she contributed funds.

5. We used Fund contributors a refund period.

6. money was spent only on the Fund’s meant purpose: namely, to defray court costs for Taki Soma.

Later, in the comments, she elaborates:

There is still some money staying in the fund, as well as the Board is going over exactly how to manage the remainder. Shannon has told me that she will be preparing an official FOL statement, however it’s not a high concern at the moment, as there is a mess of (unrelated) clerical work in preparation for annual FOL events that takes priority.

Update: I have sent Ronee Bourgeois a inquiry as to whether she has a public response, however I’m not sure it got with (her get in touch with type threw an error). If any individual has an email address for her, I’d be thinking about that (send privately, please).
