        Is it enough to apologize for fraud? Is apology for murder accepted and to let go of the murderer? @ejemaim @ChoonaraShakira @oasankoh

        NEVER give to the Red Cross. NEVER donate money; only commodities like blood, food, toiletries, clothing and time. NEVER donate money.

        They mustn’t just apologize, they must pay it back or whoever the culprit must pay it back with interest.

        "Apoligise" by taking constructive steps to rectify the issue. Huge amount of legitimacy lost. Unfortunate that we must hesitate to donate.
