I heard one of the leaders was known for scamming fans by setting up cons, then cancelling the cons and keeping the money. I have no idea if this is true or not. I have no evidence either way. I don't even know the person. But if it is true, fandom needs to avoid them forever.
In the interest of clarity and transparency (and suspecting that tweets would be deleted) I saved the tweets from the #UniversalFanCon co-founder from yesterday. I'm not trying to sling mud at people, but I do think it's important if they're just catching up. #FanConpic.twitter.com/B3NOO2n4W8

It was someone in their staff. His name was Thai Pham. I believe he was hired and not a part of the founding staff. I don’t think the founders did their research hiring him.

Hmm, yeah, that makes sense. Thanks for the info! I wonder how much he sabotaged the whole con?
-
I don’t know. But I think some of it is self sabotage. It seems like poor planning, wanting to make the con too big, and promoting it in hopes that ticket sales would solve all their problems. It’s been said many times but
#UniversalFanCon is a event planner’s disaster

I’m glad you saved these. There’s so much hiding and backtracking, and confusion, and I think it’s important that we know everything that’s been said
-
I had a feeling they might be deleted. I guess it's good I trusted my intuition.
