Exposing A Stephen D. Reimers Fundraising Fraud | Episode 469

Somebody asks you for money “for a creative project,” the logo looks real, the story sounds urgent, and the paperwork feels just official enough to quiet your doubts. That’s the moment we want you to pause.

We talk with David and Amanda Solomon about what they allege happened around Mythical Creatures Around the World and related writing and publishing efforts: unpaid work, suspicious employment letters, “investment offers,” donation outreach that doesn’t appear to benefit the creator, and documents they say raise serious questions about who controls the brand and the intellectual property. Amanda explains how she first joined the work as an editor, how a promised paid caretaker role never resulted in pay, and how access to email led her to information she says David had never seen.

We also discuss the human cost behind the paperwork: the confusion that comes when authority is disputed, the risk when a creator’s income is tied to someone else’s business tax ID, and what to do when you believe impersonation or fraud is happening in real time. Throughout, we keep it practical for listeners who donate online, back crowdfunding campaigns, support indie authors, or hire contractors: verify entities, confirm signers, document everything, and report suspected fraud to the proper authorities.

If you’ve ever wondered how a legitimate-looking fundraising pitch can go wrong, this conversation lays out the warning signs in plain language. Subscribe, share this with a friend who donates online, and leave a review with the biggest red flag you think people miss most often.
