The guy raised 20 million on go fund me and he went ahead and is building the wall himself. Now if they didn’t spend the money they would have been required to return it. 7 miles of it at $3 million per mile.
A few problems. He created a company to build the wall. The wall is being built with private funds so they will cut corners on everything.
First - right of way. I would be interested in seeing if they acquired right-of-way to build this wall. This is usually one of the most expensive and time consuming of the tasks. If they didn’t then this wall is being built on private property with probably only an okayed by the property owner. If they didn’t get the property surveyed this property may be in Mexico or on the wrong property. And maintenance will never be done on the wall because it will belong to no one.
No oversight on the spending of the money. Could be a lot of fraud here to pocket a large chunk of the money by the vet. I wouldn’t Be surprised to see a follow up article where this guy, the company and the contractor is in trouble for pocketing a lot of this money similar to the gas / homeless guy story.
