I'll throw a short version of my story... I'm working 12-13 hours a day right now and have been for the past 3 weeks, so I'm barely awake.
DAND is correct, that I only received $440 from Christina and Jeff. I was supposed to receive another... i believe $490? something like that. Anyway, Christina calls me one night right around when a couple of the auctions are to end, and tells me there's a big stink about me buying a het pied girl from Kyle. (It's a long story, but the short version is I'd gotten a check for the 2 days work I had done before Sandra's daughter died, and when I got back to the jobsite that check was there and I hadn't been expecting it. Sandra convinced me to jump on the deal Kyle offered that night, because she knew I'd given up big plans because of the funeral expenses)
Anyway, Christina calls me and tells me people are talking and upset that I bought the snake, but no one had said anything to me. I had already told her to not do anymore auctions for us, but that the last two running would be the final one's we'd accept. We still had to buy a headstone, and that's what the money was to go for. So when she first told me, I said "f*** it, send it all to maggie." Christina said basically "no, no, the money was raised for you guys, and you still need it" Eventually I agreed and let the guilty feelings go, and by the end of the conversation, I was expecting we'd receive that money shortly...
3 weeks later, I asked Christina about it since she hadn't contacted me about it. She said "oh, I thought you said to send that money to Maggie, so I did." She went on to elaborate something about how it had come in the nick of time to get to maggie to cover the services or cremation. I can't remember exactly. I was kind of upset, because I was pretty sure we'd cleared that up and the money would be coming our way. As it was though, I chalked it up to miscommunication and just let it go...
Now I hear from Maggie the other day about how she hasn't received half the money she's owed, and read a screenshot of some messages between her and Christina where Christina and Jeff apparently took it upon themselves to pay a $700 light bill (really? $700 light bill??) so their lights wouldn't get cut off... without letting Maggie know until after the fact. Then it apprently cost $800 ($100 a night hotel supposedly) to go out of town for Jeff's uncle or something that was sick or died or something...
That's pretty much my story, and I can get more into detail after I get laid off this week and can sit at home and relax and type.
Whatever the case may be, it's not looking good for the Wise's, and I know a few people who had qualms about them handling everything like they did... I guess greed took over?
