I don't really believe this. This just seems like someone lying about the situation after they were caught. He's still making himself into a victim, rather than just showing the money was donated and moving on, leaving himself out of it.
My biggest issue is that he spends a long time explaining what was going on, but at the time when it was happening, he didn't mention any of the stuff he brings up now. Its like he is updating the autopsy report after the fact. If he was contacting these charity groups like he says he was, why did he not provide at least his initial contact emails? When it comes to charity, I don't see why anything would need to be proprietary or secretive, so their response could be included as well. Even including messages about the alleged infighting about who and where to donate to. That would have cleared everything up instantly. But that's not what happened. He also doesn't include any proof of this new explanation backstory.
To me, this just sounds like "Sorry I got caught, here is an explanation I came up with later that includes zero proof of any of it happenening so you'll just have to trust me bro. And I finally donated the money like you all wanted, see? I was actually the Good Guy and Victim all along!"
Maybe I got it all wrong. But this does not seem genuine to me.
