The guy has been running scams for years and courts and BD have not stopped him. At this stage I would say not only is it not gossip, but it is imperative for Dan to post if he has clear evidence, lest this repeat itself next year with a new company running the program.

Timeline and full picture just got much clearer, but I guess I'll see if the hotel responds tomorrow before deciding what to do with it. But I definitely have most of the puzzle and evidence put together now.

I'm pretty confident Dan isn't entertaining posting something without that

What's the rush?  Why not wait for the legal/BD process to play out, and post a PSA when it's relevant, before next year's programs?

Being moichel someone doesn't mean they're going to be the person you seek out when dealing with a sensitive question.
I have a feeling that if you would speak to him your feelings  would be much different

Why are you so certain there will be legal or beis din proceedings? Even if there are, it can take many months or even years for a judgement to be rendered.

Also, he doesn’t only run Pesach programs. He runs programs all year.

This has been going on for years, no BD or legal processes have yielded results. If you don't deal with it when it's on people's minds it will be forgotten until it's too late and next year's crew gets scammed

I would think the opposite.  If you post it now, people will have forgotten it by next year. I do recall some problematic programs from past years, but don't remember the names of the organizers or companies involved.

This may be true. Or maybe incorrect. Since publicly exposing someone on a public forum is likely דיני נפשות, shouldn’t this be presented to a competent rov for a psak before proceeding?

Okay, so before his next program is when I'd expect a PSA.

How would someone track that if he regularly changes info?

To be honest, he bizarrely exposed himself and it's all public already. I'm not even sure there's much of a shayla here, given that he himself made it all public?

Though he has since sent over some evidence that somewhat helps his case and fits the timeline like a glove. I'm happy I asked.

I'm wondering about that too.  So what's the PSA?  Do your due diligence, and avoid this guy, but we can't tell you what his name will be?

Part would be to find the individual behind the entity
