    • Dear REDACTED,

      First you hit us with $15K, now another $30K?

      Look… we’re not gonna lie. That’s a respectable amount. It's just not... life-changing. It's the kind of money that gets a kid *stable-ish*. You know, like: "Hey doc, don’t use the rusty needle this time" levels of care. Baldie was hoping for a private room he got a cot behind the janitor’s locker. But hey, that’s still a step up from sharing a mattress with a raccoon named Tito.

      Thanks to your combined $45K, here’s what we’ve been able to scrape together for:


      JAQUAVIOUS “BALDIE” WILLIAMS (Age: legally unknown)



      A Chicago native. Born during a fireworks shootout in a Dollar Tree parking lot. Bald by circumstance, violent by choice. This child once bit a priest for mispronouncing his name and was recently diagnosed with “medically concerning levels of disrespect.”

      He’s fighting Lymphoma, HIV, asthma, and trust issues. But with your help, we’ve kept him mostly alive.

      Your donation funded:

      • One (1) week of legit meds and three (3) weeks of whatever was in a cooler behind the clinic.
      • A refurbished IV drip system connected to a decommissioned soda fountain.
      • Daily emotional support from a woman named Shonté who does tarot readings and also makes grilled cheese on an iron.
      • A rubber bracelet that says “STAY BALD STAY DANGEROUS.” He sells those now. That’s how he pays for socks.


      So yes, REDACTED, you’ve helped. But let’s not pretend you ended suffering. You bought Baldie time. Time to yell at more nurses. Time to challenge another 8-year-old to a fight over a stolen inhaler. Time to maybe live long enough to finally find his dad (rumored to be somewhere near a Waffle House).

      We’re proud of what this money’s done, but we’re not about to act like it’s a statue-level contribution. $45K in this economy? That’s two X-rays and a slap on the back.

      As always:
      Refund applies if Baldie dies from HIV, cancer, or blunt-force trauma during recess within 365 days of this email. Terms & conditions apply. Must present receipt and child’s body.

    • Dear REDACTED,

      We hope this message finds you well, or at the very least, indoors.

      We regret to inform you that our founder and Chief Field Rescuer, David Deltoid, has embarked on a classified 7-day humanitarian expedition to the South Side of Chicago in a final attempt to locate your sponsored child: Jaquavious “Baldie” Williams a brave 9-year-old currently fighting three separate diseases, one court case, and a gambling addiction (he’s up 600 on DraftKings, so hope is not lost).

      Initially, we sent in our usual bounty hunters, including:
      • Tyrone “Night Vision” MacGregor (retired after the raccoon incident),
      • Sister Agnes of the Holy Smackdown (currently excommunicated for tax fraud),
      • and Dave the Intern (missing since Thursday).
      None have returned.

      This is why Mr. Deltoid - armed with nothing but a protein bar, a Bluetooth headset, and an inspirational quote from Vin Diesel, has gone himself. This is the first time since the Great Inflatable Kayak Incident of 2019 that he’s entered a red zone in person.

      Current Challenges in Locating Jaquavious:

      • He has changed his legal name 4 times since April.
      • He last appeared in a TikTok live entitled “Baldie Beats Leukemia ft. Glock 9.
      • He’s been spotted doing wheelies on a stolen Rascal scooter outside a Dollar General.
      • Every known address led to either a trap house or a Spirit Halloween pop-up.
      Medical Status:
      Jaquavious continues to bravely fight AIDS, Asthma, Ringworm, and Whatever Is Happening To His Left Eye. He was scheduled for chemo yesterday, but instead appeared in court dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog. The judge called it “deeply unserious.

      We are not giving up.

      David is currently sheltering with a friendly woman named Miss Cheryl, who has six chihuahuas and a taser. She believes she saw Jaquavious ride past on a Lime scooter yelling, “I’m untouchable, I got sponsors!”

      Please keep Jaquavious in your thoughts, your prayers, and your Discord statuses.

      We will update you once David Deltoid returns… or doesn’t.

      As always:
      Refund applies if Baldie dies from HIV, cancer, or blunt-force trauma during recess within 365 days of this email. Terms & conditions apply. Must present receipt and child’s body.

      Upon looking into the non-profit name "Black Kids with Cancer & Aids (BKWCAA)" we found no indication this non-profit has been registered or licensed with the San Andreas State Government to operate within the state.

    • Dear REDACTED,

      We write to you today with uncontainable joy, mild shellshock, and three minor airspace violations. Your sponsored youth, Jaquavious “Baldie” Williams, has officially been RECOVERED.

      After seven harrowing days in the field, our founder David Deltoid made visual contact with Jaquavious outside a Popeyes, where he was reportedly trading chemo medication for V-Bucks. The situation escalated rapidly when Jaquavious spotted our team and attempted escape on foot.

      Enter: the BKWCAA helicopter.

      Thanks to your generous donation, and a forged government fuel voucher. we deployed our stealth-capable, semi-legal Black Kid Welfare & Covert Abduction Association chopper, affectionately nicknamed “The Grabber.” It features:
      • In-built Tranquillizers
      • Watermelon decoys for crowd control
      • And a PA system that only plays “Eye of the Tiger” and Jaquavious’s court-ordered curfew reminders
      We located Baldie using infrared heat signatures, but confusion arose as he was radiating high levels of chemo energy and holding a Popeyes 3-piece combo. After some tense negotiations (“David Deltoid will never catch me!”), David launched Protocol 9: a Nerf dart laced with melatonin.

      He was asleep mid-sprint.

      The mission concluded with a swift rooftop evac and a brief pursuit by three unlicensed dirt bikes and someone’s uncle. All operatives are accounted for. The Popeyes manager has issued a cease-and-desist but we're ignoring it.

      Medical Update:
      • Chemo: Resumed
      • Court Case: Dismissed (judge said “he’s been through enough”)
      • Ringworm: Evolving
      • Baldie: Still bald
      Jaquavious is now resting at our recovery center, Camp Reboot, located just behind a shuttered CVS, where he’s being treated with juice boxes, Minecraft therapy, and light hand-to-hand combat drills to “build character.”

      What You Can Do:
      • Keep donating.
      • Keep spreading awareness.
      • And above all: never lose hope in a bald child with dreams and enemies.
      We worked with our partners to disney to recreate the moment of his capture for you. We present "Baldie Down"

      Refund applies if Baldie dies from HIV, cancer, or blunt-force trauma during recess within 365 days of this email. Terms & conditions apply. Must present receipt and child’s body.

        This arrest was executed based on the charges decided from Case File #207396. Police Officer II Olsson called in a traffic stop with the RO coming back to Alistair Vespucci and we detained him on San Andreas Ave, before getting him in our cruiser he attempted to flee on foot briefly before surrendering and getting in the cruiser. His passenger, presumably his wife, refused to let us search the vehicle and hopped in the drivers seat before fleeing the stop, colliding with an officer. A BOLO was posted but no one was able to pursue at the time as Alistair was on foot running the opposite direction. We brought him back to MRPD, explained the charges and he resisted once more when we attempted to put him in cuffs after we explained that this was not a conversation, but rather just informing him of his charges before we went to DOC. We placed the charges and transported him to DOC where he was processed and his belongings were kept.

ISSUANCE OF VERDICT

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAN ANDREAS

The State of San Andreas v. David Deltoid & Alistair Vespucci
#25-CM-0041

A decision was reached in the above case on the 22nd day of February, 2026.



Facts

  • The charity, Black Kids with Cancer and Aids, is not a registered entity within the State of San Andreas
  • The Defendants, Mr. Deltoid and Mr. Vespucci, were seen representing this entity and soliciting donations as per Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2.
  • Donations were received into the personal accounts of the Defendants.

Arguments Made at Trial

Prosecution has provided arguments that show a repeated effort from the Defendants to present the stated charity as a structured and legitimate entity. Prosecution also states that the Defendants solicited substantial donations from citizens of the State, with the Donations being deposited into the Defendants' personal bank accounts and transferred between them, with the structure of the organisation being fabricated.

Defense has argued that the investigation by the State does not meet a level beyond suspicion. Defense argues that the Prosecution has not proven the fact that the stated children do not exist, that the medical conditions are not true, and that the financial crimes were nothing more than regular business operations, as those funds were in holding as opposed to being misallocated for personal or nefarious purposes.
Verdict

The first question that the Court needs to answer in this case is whether the organisation presented was operating legally within the State. The Prosecution has confirmed with the Business Licensing Bureau that the organisation, or charity, with the name Black Kids with Cancer and Aids, was not registered. The Court finds that, regardless of any international claims, organisations operating within our State are required to follow the relevant Business Licensing requirements, and as such, this charity was operating without the correct registration or documentation.

With that in mind, the Court then has to establish whether the facts of the case and the evidence provided meet the level of Felony Fraud. Felony Fraud is defined as the intentional deception of a victim with the intent of personal or financial gain, causing more than $5,000 in damages.

Intentional Deception of a victim

The Prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendants knowingly made a false representation of facts to solicit and induce donations. In this case, the evidence shows that the Defendant, Mr David Deltoid, was intentionally evasive when asked about licensing, though they made no explicitly false statements. The Defendant referenced an organisation that exists in Poland, as well as a state-licensed attorney within our State. No fact presented to the Court goes to disprove these allegations.

The Prosecution states that they had listed several members of staff who do not exist within the State. This was not sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that these individuals did not exist outside of our State, especially in conjunction with the statements provided on the bodycam footage claiming an international organisation.

Furthermore, Prosecution has presented emails in which they allege the Defendants have presented fictitious afflicted children that do not exist. The evidence submitted to the Court does not substantiate these claims.

Finally, the post-donation emails submitted are clearly exaggerated and satirical, though these were not used to induce donations, but rather sent afterwards as a receipt of donation. As this came afterwards, it cannot be used to chronologically prove that donations were solicited via intentional deception.

Intent of personal or financial gain

The Prosecution has provided evidence that shows the Defendants received donation money into their personal accounts, with subsequent (minor) transfers. What is missing is any evidence proving that these funds were personally used. The six-day window gained during the investigation proves receipt of donations; it is insufficient to establish any clear intent of personal profit. Depositing funds into a personal account temporarily does not, by itself, demonstrate criminal intent.

Summary

In summary, while the Defendants have operated an unregistered charity and solicited substantial donations within the State, the prosecution has not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendants engaged in intentional deception or acted with intent to personally or financially gain from those donations.

The evidence shows the Defendants making evasive statements regarding licensing and legitimacy, an unverified staff team listed in the signature blocks of emails, and post-donation emails describing the use of funds. Despite this, no proof has been made that any representation made before donations were knowingly false, that the children detailed did not exist, or that the Defendants misused the funds. The post-donation email, while very clearly exaggerated and satirical as the Defense highlighted, cannot in itself satisfy the requirement for Felony Fraud. As reasonable doubt exists to both the intentional deception and financial gain elements of GF07, the Court cannot find either Defendant guilty of this charge.

For the charge of Embezzlement, the Court finds this charge to be inappropriately placed. The charge of Embezzlement does not fit hand in hand with Felony Fraud. Embezzlement suggests that an individual had lawful access to funds and used them in a way that they knew was unauthorised, with the funds legally belonging to someone else. This is not applicable in this case, given that no evidence presented by the Prosecution supports an allegation of misappropriating funds.

The charge of Racketeering was applied, given that two financial crimes were placed against both defendants, notably the Felony Fraud and Embezzlement charges. As these charges are not being sustained, the Court finds no Probable Cause established for this charge.

Finally, for Mr David Deltoid, the charge of GF12 - Forgery or Counterfeiting was applied. The Court notes that the creation of a seal that does not intend to deceive through similarities to any other seal within the State does not violate this charge. The test is not "Was this seal created with the intent to deceive others?", but rather "Was this seal created in a way to similarly represent another seal, with the intent to deceive others?". The mere creation of a seal for an organisation, whether registered or not, does not violate the charge of Forgery or Counterfeiting.

It is with the above considerations that I issue the following verdict:
  • On the count of GF07 - Felony Fraud, I find the defendant, David Deltoid, not guilty.
  • On the count of GF09 - Embezzlement, I find the defendant, David Deltoid, not guilty.
  • On the count of GF18 - Racketeering, I find the defendant, David Deltoid, not guilty.
  • On the count of GF12 - Forgery or Counterfeiting, I find the defendant, David Deltoid, not guilty.
  • On the count of GF07 - Felony Fraud, I find the defendant, Alistair Vespucci, not guilty.
  • On the count of GF09 - Embezzlement, I find the defendant, Alistair Vespucci, not guilty.
  • On the count of GF18 - Racketeering, I find the defendant, Alistair Vespucci, not guilty.
The defendant should make their way to City Hall at their earliest convenience to have the change to their record noted as well as the payment of $52,000 and $40,000 respectively returned to them for fines, time, and other expenses/inconveniences incurred from the contested charges.
