USER: Subject: Request for Official Confirmation of Fundraiser Withdrawal and Transfer History Hello GoFundMe Support, I am Montgomery Kuykendall, organizer of the fundraiser "Help Us Buy Old State Saloon and Turn It Into a Gay Bar," created August 21, 2026. Account email: [organizer email redacted] Fundraiser: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-buy-old-state-saloon-and-turn-it-into-a-gay-bar I am requesting written confirmation of the fundraiser's complete withdrawal and payout history. Public allegations have been made that I personally withdrew or misappropriated donations, and I would like an authoritative statement from GoFundMe to clarify the financial record. Your October 12, 2026 emails indicate that I have an unwithdrawn balance and that payouts remain paused pending verification. Could you please confirm: 1. The total amount of funds transferred out of this fundraiser since its creation. 2. Whether any bank transfers or other payouts have ever been initiated, completed, or received by any beneficiary or recipient. 3. Whether the total amount successfully paid out is $0.00, if that is what your records establish. 4. Whether funds currently remain unwithdrawn or are subject to verification requirements. 5. Whether you can provide a dated transaction-history statement or an official email confirming these facts for public accountability purposes. I understand that donor refunds are separate from payments to an organizer. Please distinguish refunds from outgoing fundraiser payouts. I would appreciate written confirmation that I may retain and share publicly, with appropriate personal information redacted. Today the authenticated Transfers page shows the recipient setup choices and a transfers-paused banner, with no Activity or Breakdown ledger available. This is an accounting-only inquiry. Please do not change withdrawal settings, initiate a transfer, or submit verification on my behalf. Please route this request to a human support representative and provide a ticket/reference number. Thank you, Montgomery Kuykendall AGENT ([staff name redacted]): Hi Montgomery, thank you for reaching out to us. My name is [staff name redacted], and I'm a Customer Care Specialist here at GoFundMe. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): Before we proceed, I'll just need to send you a verification code via text message. You can simply reply, "Yes, I approve," and I'll send the text message. USER: Yes, I approve. USER: Yes, I approve. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): I've just sent a verification text message to the phone number on file for you. Would you please tell me the 6-digit code that was just sent to your phone? USER: [verification code redacted] USER: sorry no, [verification code redacted] AGENT ([staff name redacted]): Thanks for confirming, Montgomery! USER: Please also provide this inquiry’s ticket/reference number so I can retain proof of submission. I would like the written accounting and a copy of this request emailed to the organizer address on file. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): Please allow me 3 to 5 minutes to review your account. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): I've already checked your account and noticed there have been no transfers because you haven't added your details yet. For that reason, we can't provide what you're requesting. USER: I just need written confirmation I haven't withdrawn funds. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): You can use the transcript of this chat if you prefer. USER: Thank you. For that transcript to document the financial record, please state what your records show: since this fundraiser was created on August 21, 2026, has any payout or bank transfer ever been initiated or successfully paid to me or any other recipient? Is the lifetime successfully paid-out total $0.00? Please distinguish donor refunds, give the current unwithdrawn balance if available, and provide the ticket number. A dated email confirming those findings would also be appreciated. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): To clarify: * No transfer has been initiated because you have not provided the information. * Therefore, the funds have not yet been transferred. * The current outstanding balance is $8,919.08. USER: Thank you. Does that confirm the lifetime amount successfully paid out to any recipient is exactly $0.00, with no pending or scheduled transfer? Please also provide this inquiry’s ticket/reference number, and clarify whether the $8,919.08 outstanding balance already accounts for the $50 donor refund and transaction fees. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): Since the transfers have not been configured, no transactions have taken place; therefore, the total amount paid is $0.00. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): Furthermore, I can confirm that the balance is the total minus one refused donation and one refunded donation. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): Are you still with me, Montgomery? USER: Yes, thank you—that confirms the payout total. Please provide this inquiry’s ticket or case/reference number before we finish. AGENT ([staff name redacted]): That's correct! There's no transfer yet. Here's the ticket number: #19940162. Also, a transcript of this conversation will be sent to your email inbox.
