    As a repeat donor, this kinda throws some doubt as to what i'm donating to, and i'm not just talking for PTP, but for every site. The idea that i'm just throwing money at someone to fuel their bottle service at some bar or whatever worthless reason doesn't sit right with me. Once i jump onto a new site that i like, i donate. Now i might think twice and scale it back a little even though there is no way for me to be assured my money is going to the places for the right reasons.




    To be blunt, this move just pisses me off. This just totally ruined it for me and I'm just glad the BS stopped and that my favorite movie tracker has distanced themselves from that sack of crap. Oh well more money for me.

    Well apparently Pham ran into money problems and was using extra donation money to buy diapers for his kid. While I still feel that what he did was very wrong, at least it was for a decent reason instead of for his own entertainment. Wrong thing for the right reasons and all that.

    While this is all very confusing and a he said-they said type of thing, noone will ever really know the extent to which Pham used money from the site for personal use. From everything else I've read on PTP, whenever the admins asked Pham for specifics about the PayPal account or finances, he was elusive and wouldn't give direct answers to questions and would quickly change the subject, which is what got them thinking he could be using the money for his own expenses and not that of the site. He was also not doing anything for the site in well over a year, other than handling the PayPal account and only he had access to it.

    When he finally blurted out that one statement about having to buy diapers for his kid, that convinced the current staff they needed to act sooner rather than later before it got worse and confirmed that their suspicions were correct. If I were in their position, I'd probably assume the worst at that point and think it wasn't just a one-time emergency diaper purchase either.

    And in the end, if he doesn't even have $10 to go and buy diapers for his kid, he doesn't need to be spending his time online at a torrent site. We'll have to wait it out and see how the new PTP site weathers this.

    my two cents..

    I think regardless of whether or not he used this money for a "good" cause, any donation dollar spent on anything but the site is theft, and is betraying the trust of the site's community.

    I do hope that this situation leads to more openness with regards to how donation money is used by this and other trackers, as users will now be more suspicious (myself included)

    P.S. my first post on these forums, hello everyone :)

    That is the problem to a big torrent sites and donations are kept coming. There is a possibility that admin and staff were tempted to used that money for personal used. Too sad for those donors who trusted the site. I hope this won't happen again.

    BTW: for those who doesn't know the new site of PTP. Here it is PassThePopcorn
