It went something like this.

NoCarrier aftering being a dipshit on the board for a couple of years (I think) posted one day his son had a brain tumour and was going to need a treatment not available in Canada, where he lived, but only in the states and it was going to be very expensive. I don't remember if he actually asked for donations but what I do remember is a whole bunch of people ran out and started a group signature auction. More and more people joined in and some company ended up paying quite a bit, something like $15,000 (not exactly sure of the number anymore) in the end.

A little bit of time goes by and he comes back and says that the kid can actually get free treatment in Canada and won't require the operation in the states. He ended up keeping the money to "make life easier" while him and his wife were tending to their sick child being treated in the hospital.

He came back many months later and said the kid's okay and blah blah and hasn't been back since. I believe at the time, someone found a newspaper article for the story, and it was even in the same province as he was in, Quebec but the city did not match. Speculation began that he saw the story in a local Quebec paper, adapted it a bit and claimed it was him and his family.

I don't know if it was ever proven to be a scam outright, but it was played beautifully. He didn't start the signature auction and I believe he even make a token offer to return the money although was happy to keep it to ease his suffering.
