California Dept of Justice Sends Jordan's Way a Love Note

 Ready for the 40 IN 40 TOUR?! So is the California Department of Justice. Turns out Jordan's Way LLC wasn't registered there when it conducted fundraisers FOR PROFIT in 2022 and still isn't registered today despite having fundraisers scheduled this month.

California shelters and rescues: PROTECT YOURSELVES. Registration is the law!!

For Profit Jordan's Way not Registered in Colorado in 2022

Oopsie. Jordan's Way LLC wasn't registered in Colorado when it conducted fundraisers there FOR PROFIT in 2022. Jordan's Way finally registered for the 2023 fundraisers, but it seems the list of 3 shelters/rescues reported to the state doesn't match up with the list of fundraisers posted on social media.

Also, for those in the back.... this report clearly evidences yet again that these fundraisers are conducted by Jordan's Way LLC, a FOR PROFIT Florida company, not a charitable entity as claimed on the Jordan's Way website and social media.

Jordan's Way claims to be NonProfit with no Pennsylvania Registration

Tsk, tsk. Fundraisers conducted in Pennsylvania, but no Pennsylvania registration found. Pesky legal requirements for conducting commission-based fundraisers on behalf of actual nonprofits.

But, wait, there's more.... is Jordan's Way LLC going back to Pennsylvania for another round? It seems they've set up a whole new Facebook page this month with a big 'ol banner announcing their "non-profit" raising over 4 million dollars.

For the 800th time, the "Tour" is conducted by a FOR PROFIT company: Jordan's Way LLC. It is NOT a nonprofit. 25% of all donations paid to these fundraisers go to a FOR PROFIT company.

1 MILLION DOLLARS out of this 4 million didn't go to help dogs and cats, but instead helped line Kris Rotonda's pocket.

Jordan's Way says Nominated Shelters "Receive" a Fundraiser

Each shelter the for-profit business Jordan's Way LLC visits will "receive" a fundraiser...... for the low, low cost of $250+25% of all donations. Such a gift.

Kris Rotonda Owes His Attorneys 44k+

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum! Our homeboy Kris Rotonda apparently racked up a $44k+ attorney bill according to this lien.

Hey attorneys, we bet we know where to find the money!!! We'll only charge a 25% commission out of the kindness of our hearts because we're a nonprofit or something.

Kris Rotonda Owes his -Amazing- Contractor 2k+

 If you're gonna pillage 25% from dogs and cats, at least pay your contractors who did such an AMAZING job.

Jordan's Way "Charities" Dollar A Month Club Pays for.... What?

 DoNaTe! Join our Dollar-A-Month Club!!!!!!!! Jordan's Way is a nonprofit!!!

But.... in reality, Jordan's Way LLC, a for profit company, takes 25% of the money raised from each fundraiser, plus $250.

Let's do the math on just one of these fundraisers.

-Shelter pays $250 up front

-Shelter provides all supplies (hot dogs, whipped cream, etc.)

-Shelter "builds the momentum" for the fundraiser (using their existing donor base)

-Jordan's Way LLC conducts a 3-4 hour Facebook live and collects 25% of all donations brought in from the time the fundraiser is posted to 48 hours after the live fundraiser ends, whether those donations are made through Facebook or otherwise

-Estimated $12,000 in donations

=

Estimated $2,843 to Jordan's Way LLC (the FOR PROFIT entity) for ~6 hours of work (we're tossing in a generous 2 hours to account for prep/travel time since they normally do 3-4+ of these fundraisers in one state at a time). ~$473 an hour. Now, let's take into account that they do 3-4+ fundraisers in one state at a time.

Also, again, as of its last reporting, Jordan's Way "Charities" did not have a valid board of directors. The board consisted of Kris Rotonda and his father. Where are the donations going? What board is deciding how donations should be spent? What respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity? Even better.... what respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity that is run by one of its "board members"(Kris Rotonda)?

Kris Rotonda and his fake prosecutor girlfriend

Once upon a time, a rescue was shocked to receive a $10,000 invoice from Jordan's Way LLC, a FOR PROFIT company, as a result of the Facebook live fundraiser they thought Jordan's Way "Charities" was doing out of the kindness of their hearts... you know.... just like they say on the Upwork ads.

Well, the rescue wasn't going to pay up. Most of the donations came from the people operating the rescue, who obviously would not have donated just to have 25% go to a FOR PROFIT business instead of their dogs.

In response? A nice veiled threat from Kris about his "prosecutor" girlfriend just being sooooo pushy about him getting his invoice paid.

Kris Rotonda goes after Greg Edwards for telling the truth

Here is what happens when you tell the truth about Kris Rotonda and Jordan's Way LLC, a for profit Florida corporation. When our rescue cancelled our event, Kris Rotonda sent his minions after our volunteers and contacted the other groups they were affiliated with to complain about them. We've received messages from people who are scared to come forward because Kris Rotonda and his minions have contacted their EMPLOYERS to make salacious and false allegations about them.

Kris Rotonda is now telling people that he fired Greg Edwards, basically trying to make Greg look like a sexual predator or pedophile. Kris was obviously super worried about this sexual predator conduct when he made Greg and his other "employees" share one hotel room during the tour.

Kris is also claiming Greg is creating pages, like this one, to discredit him. Unforunately for Kris, our page has been up for years and at one time, Greg and Kris came here to yell at us about how "wrong" we were about them. This is definitely not Greg's page, despite what Kris wants people to believe.

Like poor Kelly, Kris Rotonda is now trying to rescind Greg's past pay because Greg told the truth.

Don't be afraid to come forward. Report what he's done to you to your state Attorney General and the police. They can help you and help us to stop this schmuck.

Kris Rotonda hates us so much that he tried to hire a hacker to remove our page

We have reported this apparent threat posted by Jordan's Way aka Kris Rotonda on the "Upwork" site to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office and FDLE (Florida Department of Law Enforcement - Computer Crimes Center). We have documented the listing and are ready to record any unauthorized attempt made to access this page or our accounts. Remember, conspiring to hack an account is just as criminal as hacking it yourself.

"At the federal level, Title 18, United States Code, Sections 1956(c)(7) and 1961(1) define specified unlawful activity to include:

Computer hacking, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030, and Conspiracy to commit computer hacking."

"The most commonly prosecuted violations of Florida’s Computer Crimes Act include:

Unauthorized access of another user’s account which is charged as a felony;

Unauthorized modification, deletion, copying of files, or programs is charged as a felony; and

Unauthorized modification or damage of computer equipment which is charged as a misdemeanor unless the damage exceeds $200, and then it is charged as a felony." Crimes Against Users of Computers and Computer Systems Florida Statute Section 815.06(2)

"Under Section 777.04(3), Florida Statutes, which provides: A person who agrees, conspires, combines, or confederates with another person or persons to commit any offense commits the offense of criminal conspiracy."

"We are doing this out of our own pockets, no sponsors, just a love for animals"

 New Jordan's Way ad for hired help (maybe they'll actually pay this one). But..... it gets better.

"We are doing this out of our own pockets, no sponsors, just a love for animals"

HAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Jordan's Way not legally registered in 2021 for Utah fundraisers

SPOILER: Like multiple other times, Jordan's Way LLC was not legally registered as a professional solicitor or fundraiser with the state they were conducting events in.

REGISTRATION IS THE LAW. In 2020/2022, Jordan's Way tried to conduct fundraisers in our state without registration and lied about being properly registered. If the fundraiser went forward, it would have put OUR CHARITABLE STATUS at risk.

Per the Utah Division of Consumer Protection, Jordan's Way was not registered when it did its 2021 fundraisers and its registration is still pending for its fundraisers scheduled for next week. Utah requires written contracts be submitted. Have the charities done this? PROTECT YOUR NONPROFIT.

Kansas Attorney General raises questions about Jordan's Way

 Ohhhh noes.... could it be that Jordan's Way wasn't legally registered in 2021 when it conducted its fundraisers for 25% PROFIT in Kansas?

Kris Rotonda seems to have problems paying people

Kris Rotonda's schmuck behavior isn't a recent development. Pissy Krissy loves lining his own pockets, but seems to have a problem paying the people who help him do that.

Kelly Alexander, the Jordan's Way "contractor" who wasn't paid for 3 months of work, still needs your help.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/kelly-alexander

Jordan's Way hates HSUS for being a scam.... pot, meet kettle.

 Pot, meet kettle.

If recent posts are true, Jordan's Way LLC has "raised" about $5 million doing its fundraisers in the past couple of years. That means Jordan's Way LLC, a FOR PROFIT company, has pocketed OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS from generous donors who wanted to help shelter pets.

That's right.... Jordan's Way LLC has pulled over a million dollars from the shelters and rescues that it purports to help.... just like Krissy complains about in this post. 25% of each fundraiser is paid to the for profit company Jordan's Way LLC, not a charity.

As per usual, Jordan's Way blurs the line between the "charity" and the for profit LLC with this posting. The "charity" with a board that was last known to consist of Kris Rotonda and his father. The "charity" that takes in donations outside of the tour fundraisers and spends those donations on..............?

Greg Edwards tells the truth about Kris Rotonda

Once upon a time, Greg Edwards, a "business partner" of Kris Rotonda/Jordan's Way, came on our page to tell us all about how we're soooooo wrong about Krissy and his heart of gold. Eh, well.........

PS: It's kind of funny that anyone ever thought Krissy cares about disabled people considering he tried to exploit his own disabled daughter to get on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Donate to Jordan's Way.... 25% commission isn't enough

DoNAtE!!!!

"The cost of traveling across the country just continues to increase."

But.... we take 25% of the money raised from each fundraiser, plus $250.

Let's do the math on just one of these fundraisers.

-Shelter pays $250 up front

-Shelter provides all supplies (hot dogs, whipped cream, etc.)

-Shelter "builds the momentum" for the fundraiser (using their existing donor base)

-Jordan's Way LLC conducts a 3-4 hour Facebook live and collects 25% of all donations brought in from the time the fundraiser is posted to 48 hours after the live fundraiser ends, whether those donations are made through Facebook or otherwise

-Estimated $12,000 in donations

=

Estimated $2,843 to Jordan's Way LLC (the FOR PROFIT entity) for ~6 hours of work (we're tossing in a generous 2 hours to account for prep/travel time since they normally do 3-4+ of these fundraisers in one state at a time). ~$473 an hour. Now, let's take into account that they do 3-4+ fundraisers in one state at a time. Seems like that travel should be more than covered.

Also, again, as of its last reporting, Jordan's Way "Charities" did not have a valid board of directors. The board consisted of Kris Rotonda and his father. Where are the donations going? What board is deciding how donations should be spent? What respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity? Even better.... what respectable charity supports a FOR PROFIT entity that is run by one of its "board members"(Kris Rotonda)?

More schemes to make money off pet lovers by Kris Rotonda

*Yawn* Another day, another weird attempt to make money off pet lovers.

https://www.wired.com/.../curse-bahia-emerald-giant.../

 

Shelters and Rescues block our page because they don't want to be honest about Jordan's Way

 Why are people blocked from the Jordan's Way page or from the shelter/rescue pages for asking about the 25% that Jordan's Way LLC, a for profit business, takes from the fundraisers?

Rescues/shelters, we know why Kris Rotonda doesn't want to be honest about the 25%, but what's your excuse? There are actually states that REQUIRE charities to disclose this kind of payment to potential donors when they ask.

Do better if you decide to make a deal with this snake. Shame on you for allowing the misleading "all donations go directly to the shelter/rescue" statement to be used when you know darn well 25% of each dollar donated is coming right back out and into the pocket of a for profit business.

Let's do the math on just one of these.

-Shelter pays $250 up front

-Shelter provides all supplies

-Shelter "builds the momentum" for the fundraiser

-Jordan's Way LLC conducts a 3-4 hour Facebook live and collects 25% of all donations brought in from the time the fundraiser is posted to 48 hours after the live fundraiser ends, whether those donations are made through Facebook or otherwise

-Estimated $12,000 in donations

=

Estimated $2,843 to Jordan's Way LLC for ~6 hours of work (we're tossing in a generous 2 hours to account for prep/travel time since they normally do 3-4+ of these fundraisers at a pop). ~$473 an hour, plus supplies, plus your time advertising this, to get donations from people who were likely already donating to your shelter/rescue. You may ask.... how do we know that? Well, the Jordan's Way page went down not too long ago and continued conducting fundraisers that did just as well as when the Jordan's Way page was up and functioning.

In the meantime, these shelters/rescues are advertising Jordan's Way, a for profit business, as though it's just a nice guy donating his time to host an event for their shelter. Then their donors can head over to the Jordan's Way page where it lists itself as a "charity" where they can join the $1 a month club.... where the donations go to..... ?

What a racket.

Does Kris Rotonda really have a college degree at all?

Did you know Kris Rotonda is, like, really smart? We've been told that he tells a story that he was Salutatorian of his high school class and earned a full-ride basketball scholarship, but he... somehow can't manage to spell properly or form a basic sentence?

But, no worries.... our smart boy Kris Rotonda graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from St. Petersburg College... right? Doesn't seem like it per the dates given by their General Counsel.

(Also, this paid-for PRWEB "article" is so full of bull hockey we had a hard time figuring out which dumb statement that we wanted to debunk first).
