The Completionist\u2019s charity accused of failing to report donations following controversy IG: thecompletionistThe Completionist\u2019s charity organization, The Open Hand Foundation, has been accused by Karl Jobst of failing to report donations. This comes after initial allegations that the charity was withholding funds. Jirard Khalil, known better by his internet handle The Completionist, has recently come under fire for his involvement in suspected fraud. The Open Hand Foundation, a charity organization run by The Completionist and his family, was the target of an investigation by Karl Jobst and SomeOrdinaryGamers\u2019 Mutahar. In their investigations, both Jobst and Mutahar alleged that The Completionist\u2019s Open Hand Foundation was withholding over $600,000 in donations. The donations in question were raised for Dementia research, primarily via The Completionist\u2019s famous IndieLand charity stream. In a new video published on YouTube, Jobst has reported that \u201cthe situation is much worse than we previously let on\u201d. He investigated another revenue stream for the Completionist\u2019s charity and is now accusing The Open Hand Foundation of failing to report donations. The Open Hand Foundation\u2019s charity golf tournament In Jobst\u2019s video, he reveals that Open Hand hosts a charitable golf tournament in which proceeds are stated to go towards Dementia research. The golf tournament has been running since 2003 and has garnered major sponsorships from companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, and Monster Energy. According to Jobst, this golf tournament \u201cpulls in tens of thousands of dollars in sponsorships a year\u201d. His video included a graphic showing sponsorship packages ranging between $750 to $10,000. The publicly available data collected by Jobst showed that this golf tournament raised between around $30,000 and $60,000 annually in the years ranging from 2014 to 2017. \u201cThe interesting thing about the money the golf tournament raises is that it seems to disappear,\u201d Jobst alleged. He went onto explain how this related to his earlier investigation on The Completionist and IndieLand. What does this have to do with The Completionist? Prior to 2018, this golf tournament was the only event raising money for The Open Hand Foundation. When The Completionist\u2019s IndieLand charity stream began, the charity found its second source of donations. Jobst notes that with the increasing success of IndieLand, and the stable stream of donations from the golf tournament, there should be a tangible impact on The Open Hand Foundation\u2019s filing of charitable earnings. This impact is not seen in Jobst\u2019s data. \u201cAll of the filings from 2019 onwards show the same pattern,\u201d he explains. \u201cAlmost all of the revenue raised can be attributed to IndieLand, and hardly anything seems to come from the golf cup. Despite photos clearly showing it has multiple massive sponsors paying up to $10,000 each.\u201d \u201cCertainly, tens of thousands of dollars at least in donations every single year are going missing,\u201d Jobst claims. \u201cThe question is how and where.\u201d He also gives evidence that he believes suggests this was happening before The Completionist established The Open Hand Foundation. \u201cThe golf cup was taking in donations without contributing any of the money it raised long before Indie Land even started,\u201d Jobst asserted. \u201cWhen Indie Land came along, it did the exact same thing. This doesn\u2019t happen by accident.\u201d \u201cI think at this point, I\u2019ve uncovered enough to confidently say that something very criminal is happening with the Open Hand Foundation,\u201d Jobst said before directing his audience to the appropriate authorities for reporting fraud. Both The Completionist and The Open Hand Foundation have yet to publicly respond to Jobst and Mutahar\u2019s initial accusations. While these most recent allegations are quite fresh Jobst claims \u201cthey\u2019re burying their head in the sand and ignoring the situation, hoping it blows over\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
