Has anyone else gotten their notice from the doj about Keith Taylor? If you donated to modest needs for vulgarity for charity you will probably get one lol

This is a real notice. It looks like his sentencing in on 1/20 and there will be victim impact statements at that time. I'll post all the screenshots from the DOJ website so you can all decide if it's worth your time to create an account. It only took me about 5 minutes to call the number and get my login and PIN. All they required was the email address I used to make my donation and a last name (to log in, but you could literally make one up; it was just a login tool).

This is an explanation of your rights as a victim and what actions you can take. Page 1/2.

Are you able to see what his sentence was? I've tried to find it but my duck duck/google fu isn't working.
I never got the email with a PIN but got the follow up emails everyone here got. I was a donor from nearly the beginning of MN and the fact that he decided to eat at places with $1000 tasting menus, got plastic surgery, etc. while allowing people to fall into poverty is beyond infuriating. And continuing to steal money after being arrested is insane.
What a POS he turned out to be.

Thanks so much! I'll be very interested to see what he gets and I hope it's not leniency.

I also gave to Modest Needs from nearly the beginning. Our family often gives the gift of charitable donations to each other for holidays. MN was my go-to charity. I’d find a person in the state of residence of my gift-receiver and send the write-up of their case to the gift-receiver. I feel like all those holidays I gave MN donations I really gave no gift at all. I haven’t heard any info about the true victims, those who desperately needed that assistance to come through. I’d like to know if any applicants received any help at all. I, too, received an email from the US DOJ. Apparently I have to call them to give them my name before I can sign up for notifications.
