[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	But a report by CBS News' 60 Minutes programme last year alleged that Mortenson had fabricated parts of his work and was benefitting financially from his charity. The Montana-based organisation became the focus of a year-long investigation by the state attorney general. His inquiry found Mortenson had spent $4m of the charity's money to buy copies of his books, gaining royalties without paying any of them to the CAI, as promised. The organisation also spent more than $2m on Mortenson's charter flights to speaking engagements, even when the event host paid his travel fees. Mortenson and his family also charged personal items to the charity amounting to $75,276 that included brand-name clothing, luxury accommodation and holidays, found the report. He has repaid nearly half of the $1m he owes the CAI, and said he would repay the rest over three years as he has "insufficient financial resources" to do so at once, according to the investigation. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17634694 -----signature----- Fight white guilt and injustice by going to a Native American casino and gamble your money away. me pic http://acf.curbjaw.com/armchair.htm Formerly known as :armchair warrior, sysphus, fallen_deamon http://www.facebook.com/help/contact.php?show_form
