Probstein - Helping Humans

[Shoeless Moe]

Is this anything like the Human Fund from Seinfeld?

I do not know how Rick does his charity "work" but as a business owner I know he can deduct all the money everyone else is donating through these auctions on HIS taxes.

Edit: I just seen Ricks logo on the card without looking at who was doing the auction. One of my pet peeves is people doing "charity" when in reality the only reason they are doing it is to help themselves.

Are they actually connected in any way? Or is Helping Humans just re-using one of Probstein's photos?

As well he should. If the auction makes $1,000 and he sends it to a charity, he should not have to pay $300 in taxes (I'm assuming 30% to make it easy). He can deduct the $1,000 given to offset the $1,000 earned to make everything $0 for this transaction.

That is my assumption as numerous other scans do not show any connection to Probstein.

there is a high chance, that with ebay and paypal, one would want seperate accounts so all of their accounting is easy to look at.

they might be, but i didn't think so either. everything he does has that water mark. it looks like someone is using an image of the one they bought from him.
