Blind Item #9
Apparently the widow is using the name of the charity, but keeping the money raised in "escrow" until all the paperwork can be "sorted out." The thing is though, the organization she is using is all about getting money into the pockets and bank accounts of the leaders without actually putting much into the hands of charity. It is such a win win for the widow and a lose lose for fans. Oh, and that "escrow" money will probably end up in her hands too. Oh, oh, oh. Wait until you see the $1 knockoffs of a product she bought from China which she is going to pass off as the real deal of an item. By my calculations, if she sells them at the same rate, she will make $100-200K a month profit.
The usual widow Chris Cornell's
ReplyDeleteI just saw a story on my news feed that you can now buy a Chris Cornell guitar strap for $225.00. All proceeds will go to the Chris & Vicky Cornell Foundation. HA! More like straight into Vicky's wallet.

DeleteVicky Karayiannis. I know that foundation was a scam!!!
ReplyDeleteand she's completely getting away with it.
ReplyDeleteNot even charity navigator has a rating on this scam foundation because it's a "Private foundation".
any attorneys out there that would be willing to dig into this?

I never heard anything about this woman until CC died, and all I've heard about her and her family is nothing but terrible, terrible shit. How long can they get away with this for? Clearly something is wrong with these people.
ReplyDeleteedit: and all I've heard about her and her family SINCE
ReplyDeleteKrgl420 Awww...is that a Cavalier KCS or an English Toy Spaniel?
ReplyDeleteSo so cute.
Foundation still suspended, not even supposed to undertake any soliciting for charity in it's current suspended status. Conveniently doesn't mention that less than 10% of any money from those guitar straps goes to the Foundation. All the info here: https://chriscornelllsathreads.tumblr.com/
ReplyDeleteTBH Enty has been talking about Cornell for a while. But the real shit started in that January blind.
ReplyDelete@Anna actually he's a Japanese Chin! Always gets confused for KCS!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!

ReplyDeleteI read about this a little. Vickie Karyiannas and Linda Ramone are starting up a Professional Widows School, and one of the courses will show how to milk the public's sympathy in exchange for tinsel. The public will partially justify overspending on worthless junk for the babies worldwide that will be saved by the Foundation's 10% contrbutionz. Ta daaa!

DeleteI saw soundgarden live in the early 90's and they were great. This is such a mess.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course, those aren't the only things she gets from China, she's been buying her Birkins from a certain Chinese supplier of high end fakes, as well.
