which means the money was not just sent to a different address for safekeeping, privacy, or security, whatever the case may be, as I was assuming, but rather the money has already been spent.
No matter the time that it's going to cost him to return the fund, it might buy him some mercy from members, which they can either change their tag to neutral or leave it that way, which ever way, one thing is for sure that no manager will ever wan't to entrust this user with any kind of fund as an offront payment for a work not done yet..
I think what he has done was wrong though. I was also of the view if he had informed the campaign manager, he would have had a fair hearing and possibly an extension of time. From the looks, he might just have had a little issue but has not been able to say it out. I think he might likely return the money but the deed has been done. What is left for him to do now is to make refund. This would definitely make other managers come up with stringent rules while applying for review campaign of this nature in the future.
