    Fred Eshelmen a wealthy donor who contributed twice to True the Vote Inc. which claimed they would, "Investigate , litigate and expose illegal balloting and fraud in the 2020 election."
    His first contribution was $2 million his second a half million. When he asked them for updates on their progress he received."Vague responses,platitudes and empty promises."
    True the Vote Inc. filed lawsuits in four states Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin but has since deopped all 4 suits. They offered Eshelmen $1 Million if he withdrew his suit, he declined and is suing for a full refund of his $2 and1/2 million.

    a fool and his money are soon parted - hard to feel sorry for the guy when he readily gave up his money to Trump

    Not exactly. He had an agreement that the money would be refunded if the investigations came up empty.

    I always wonder how somebody that dumb got the money to start with. He must have inherited it.

    You can't fix stupid. In this case, a rich stupid guy. These are the ones easiest to separate from their money, as any con man will tell you. We have one in the Oval Office right now, but thankfully, not for long.
