Check out this post on Dean’s blog to see how Operation Give, the organization started by Chief Wiggles to supply toys, school supplies and other gifts to Iraqis was robbed of $30,000 by an Atlanta company - Dean’s World - Okay, Maybe I Wasn’t Emphatic Enough. Any suggestions on how we can deal with the situation and any help you guys might give us is very welcome. This is outrageous that someone would try to cheat a charity out of it’s money!
Here is the chief’s version of what happened! Any of our readers live in or know someone from Atlanta?
Update: Looks like the issue has now been resolved :) Good job, all who helped!

yep, things look like they’re resolved.
Just so you all know: these folks had our money—and we had proof that our check had cleared—for about 30 days before we said anything in public, and only because they stopped returning our calls after repeated attempts to contact them on our part.
You guys made a terrific difference. Thank you!
