... it is for the month of December 2011 and not November 2011! I'm shocked! What could the Cryers possible be hiding from the court?
Okay, so let's look another stellar example of an Operations Report prepared by Myer and filed by Cryer:
Granted, the expenditures were smaller as there were no meat purchases made this month. At this point, the only food purchased was for the macaques that are slated to go to Born Free soon. However, gas costs still ran pretty high for the WAO with just monkeys and domestic cats living at Talley Road! Just for this month, the total fuel cost was $657.29. Wowser!! Apparently, gas was purchased at Valero, Murphy, Shell, and Exxon gas stations, where $20 was given to Henry for "Henry fuel WAO use." Ah huh. Sure.
Oh, and it gets better! Four out of the five WAO workers received Christmas bonuses! Last year, six workers received $75. This year, everyone but Henry received Christmas bonuses. How special. The amounts were interesting--the Reiningers both received $165.11, while Myer and Dyer received $160.12 and $152.12 respectively. Wow, for Dyer this was a great deal as it appears to be almost the same amount she "earns" per pay period. So, a board member of one decided who would get bonuses and who would not--in this case, Henry. I wonder if Henry received WAO property as compensation?? After all, I can't imagine Cryer not taking care of their buddy Henry? And did I mention WAO money was used for a Christmas Party? $55.95 was spent at Pizza Hut for a Christmas Party! But what I cannot understand is why the WAO would need to renew its "Costco Warehouse" card when its closed, almost all the animals are gone, and the WAO didn't really use "Costco Warehouse" card anyway? Unless, Cryers plans on keeping this card after the WAO is gone and will continue to use it for their own personal use at the animals' expense. Hello--OAG??? Did anyone notice this when the documents were filed with the court? That's $50 that could have gone towards a former WAO animal living at another sanctuary.
Of course I have to wonder about all the missing checks for this month: #1319, 1320, 1334, 1354, 1355. What do you bet they'll show up sometime in the future, when the case is getting ready to close? Then there are the purchases made at HEB, Walmart, Academy, and Home Depot.
What tool could they have possibly purchased from Home Depot at this time for the old chimp building that closed in October 2011, costing $149? I noticed this "tool" was not named in this report. And "heaters" from the Academy store costing $257.03?? Whaaat??? This winter has been incredibly mild so who or what are the heaters for? Then there $108.97 for "heaters and heater supplies" from Home Depot? And hey, what about that new "battery" purchased at Advance Auto Parts--report doesn't say to which vehicle the battery was for and of course any items bought from our local grocer HEB and Walmart, posted as "other supplies" or "animal treats" are suspicious to me.
So, once again, another interesting report was signed, dated, and sent to the Bankruptcy Court. I would be remiss not to point out that everyone is still working at the WAO at their same hourly rate for the supposedly same amount of work hours (seeing how they are nonexempt employees paid by the hour), despite there only being feral cats and monkeys living on the property. Hmmm. Just how long does it take to feed monkeys and cats anyway?
But this was not the only document filed with the Bankruptcy Court, I also found this from IFAW - interesting:
