After over a year of silence, I finally have the opportunity to tell you my complete side of the story about everything that happened with the Open Hand Foundation and IndieLand.
I know many of you have been waiting for answers, and I know many of you are angry and feel betrayed. You deserve the full truth about what went wrong, why it took so long to donate the money, and what's been happening during my year away from YouTube.
This isn't easy to talk about, but I owe it to everyone who supported me and donated to IndieLand over the years. The money did go to charity - all $600,000 was donated to the Association for Frontotemporal Dementia and was matched to a total $800,000 that has helped over 750 families dealing with dementia. I have the full report showing exactly how your donations made a real difference.
But that doesn't excuse the moral failures I made along the way. I lied to you about having charity partners when I didn't know the money hadn't been donated yet. I should have been transparent from the beginning about the struggles we were having finding the right organization to work with.
This video is completely unfiltered and contains everything I legally can share about the Department of Justice investigation, what really happened behind the scenes with my family's charity, the mistakes I made, and the truth about the allegations that have been made against me.

This is my story to tell, and whether you choose to believe me or not, these are my words and mine alone. I'm ready to start over and earn back your trust if you'll give me that.
