just got to say a few things here. ok, let me make sure i understood this right. so a non-profit business are supposed to run poor to the point where they cant afford to renovate their building. a non-profit business is not allowed to make websites? im sorry, i missed those guidlines for non-profit businesses. to make a comparison here, the san diego zoo is a non-profit organization. now this company isnt generating anywhere near the revenue that the san diego zoo is, but the sd zoo is still considered a non-profit organization? this is rediculous. the deputy attorney needs to look up the guidelines for non-profit organizations. goodwill, salvation army, and YMCA are all non profit organizations. yet, they are all allowed to run their business according to the guidlines, as long as they dont distribute their surplus of capital to the owners or board members, or shareholders. they are supposed to use their surplus of capital to further its goals. renovatiing the building, and building a website are all goals that this non-profit organization set, and they are using their surplus of capital to pay for all of this. as far as the 100,000 check goes, just because the owner owns this co-op, doesnt mean that he cant have any other businesses or ventures. there is nothing in the law that limits the owners of the non-profit organizations to only owning that business and nothing more. The deputy attorneys arguments are rediculous and sound very childish. DONE.

Mr Mike: That’s what I thought.
Anonymous: Well, a deputy district attorney thought Answerdam was legit enough to sign up for a membership for his own condition.

So by the prosecutions’ logic, if I ran a co-op bakery I would never have to repaint the walls every ten years or replace any defective machinery or put out rat and roach traps. Good thing they aren’t health inspectors.
