The reasonable expectation is that charitable donations will go to the cause it is associated with, sometimes paying for the very transport of volunteer relief workers and the like. There is little to no good explanation that places this delightful gentlemen within that expectation.
Ergo, while perhaps he included a legal caveat stating "some goes to me", it won't work in any court of law, as the associated reasonable expectations that come with charity are not met and he represented himself as a charity.
That is one of many interpretations that instead of shouting unethical, actually does something by looking at the misrepresentation that said gentlemen has indulged in.
I would like to address this, but could you please restate this in simpler terms? What are the expectations of charities legally?
