I Am An Mra

Hello, I'm Mike Mcneil and thank you for reviewing my report. I and others have witnessed that Paul Elam accept donations and sells tickets on his website, AVoiceforMen.com. There is reason to suspect these donations may be gained through fraudulent/or misleading information. He represents his donations, his tickets, and himself as part of a business, A Voice for Men LLC, registered with the state of Texas. in 2013, the business was seized under tax forfeiture by the state. It should not be representing itself as part of AVoiceforMen.com. Furthermore, there is reasonable evidence Elam has claimed or insinuated A Voice for Men and himself are a non-profit. No such nonprofit records exist in Texas or any other state. He accepts international donations for A Voice for Men as well; no international nonprofits or business that I can find exist under that name. He is accepting large amounts of cash via Paypal, right now, for a conference and a separate account for donations via * and *. The conference is meant to take place in Detroit late this June, but him and his compatriots have claimed the conference and venue might be changed. He has extracted large amounts of money from his donors by claiming that the Doubletree Hilton Detroit sent a letter claiming he needed to purchase extra amounts of money for insurance against death threats made against him, the hotel, and the Detroit PD. Neither the hotel nor the Detroit PD have claimed to receive any such threats, and the hotel has disavowed knowledge of the letter. Many people believe it to be a forgery meant to raise extra funds, but this has not been verified independently. I am reporting him because he and his site members have glorified violence against women and specifically against feminist activists, including the release of personal information, on AVoiceforMen.com and Register-Her.com, as part of the "Men,s Rights Movement." Furthermore, his site is recognized as a hate site by the SPLC and the MRA movement tied to it. Elam's financial matters are as troubling as his funding, and at least worth looking into for public welfare and transparency as well as good business practices.

Thank you for your time.


Yet more proof that Elam is both a fraud and a liar.

Jack. If this isn't true, pass it on to Elam and tell him to sue my ass off......!
JackBarnesMRA
I dropped it into the chat room where he and the rest of the staff hang out.
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
He has already seen it , surely....? It's been on the internet since last week. Has anyone seen the letter he claims to have received from the hotel in Detroit?
JackBarnesMRA
Yeah. Most everyone has.
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
Maybe he could publish it online to counter these damn lies people keep telling?
JackBarnesMRA
He did for a while.
JackBarnesMRA
He took it down under advice from his lawyers.
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
Post me a link.....?
Mikemcneil · 61-69, M
What advice?

Why could it cause any kind of trouble?
JackBarnesMRA
None that I know of.
JackBarnesMRA
I don't understand why the lawyers wanted it taken down.
JackBarnesMRA
There was nothing in it but what Paul said was in it. Maybe they were afraid that the hotel was going to sue Paul for posting the letter. Why the would sue I don't know. Again I'm just guessing here.
JackBarnesMRA
Also the hotel did file police reports. This confirms that the letter is real.
JackBarnesMRA
Of course it could be because all that is now part of a police investigation. That's probably the reason it was pulled.

The hotel refused to confirm the letter or that it was sent by them. They've talked to the media...Paul was lying about a lot of things - the security deposit was a part of the contract from the beginning - Paul just couldn't pay because they didn't sell enough tickets - the hotel refused to waive the deposit and security requirements and so Paul made up some death threats narrative. As we all know Paul doesn't have any real lawyers - as AVFM status is forfeited due to failure to pay taxes :) as stated before this means AVFM has no legal recourse except to defend themselves - when Paul made allusions to suing Hilton I laughed - his own greed, negligence & disregard for the law have made that literally impossible!!!!!
Vivagalore
The letter was pulled because it was fake :)
Vivagalore
It was pulled as soon as posted because Paul realized reporters from mainstream media were calling Hilton to confirm the authenticity of the contents in the letter and Hilton exposed his lie!
