NEW/ The inside story of the man who convinced FAMU he was gifting the school the largest HBCU donation ever, now known to be fraudulent. This is the most complete look yet at how he pulled it off and why myrtlebeachonline.com/news/l…
1/ Personal news: Today is my last day with @TheSunNews . These past 7+ years have been amazing, working my dream job as an investigative reporter in city and state I quickly fell in love with.
2/ I've moved up to the Philly area with my family, but Myrtle Beach will always feel like home now.
I'm incredibly proud of everything I've accomplished with my reporting here and am so thankful to have worked with so many talented coworkers and supportive editors.
Another major development in what is shaping up to be one of the biggest police corruption cases in Horry County history

S/o to @awritingbeth who I understand spotted this note that appears to state “Act like a victim” and “Camera.”
Recently won the award for best investigative journalism in SC for my coverage of the fraudulent donations to CCU and FAMU. The irony of the award was not lost on me…
Seeing some people highlighting this last line in my story about Gerami* suggesting he may make another donation. I encourage all engagement, but just want to say there’s a reason I ended the piece there. To fully understand the context, it’s important to read the whole article
Gregory Germani, the man whose $237M donation to Florida A&M University was fake, says another multi-million dollar promise "might" happen
"I may just cut a straight check, not stock or anything like that ...But I wouldn’t want to be in the limelight"

5/ "The money is in the bank!" he proclaimed at FAMU's commencement. But it was unverified shares in his hemp company. I spoke to graduates about the moment and how it impacted their big day myrtlebeachonline.com/news/l…
6/ Hope you enjoy the investigative series, and if you're interested, check out my previous thread on the situation, which includes all my earlier coverage in the immediate aftermath of the announcement nitter.gq/WeissmanMBO/status/178…
NEW/ A Texas businessman made national news over the weekend with a historic $237 million donation to Florida A&M. But some are new questioning if it's legit, partly because of his prior failed donation to CCU myrtlebeachonline.com/news/l…

NEW/ The latest in the strange saga surrounding what was initially reported as a historic donation to FAMU. The gift, whether it has any value or not, has been pulled myrtlebeachonline.com/news/l…
NEW/ FAMU investigation into historic $237 million donation deems the gift fraudulent. Scathing report paints donor as a high-level con artist and university officials as ignoring basic protocols myrtlebeachonline.com/news/l…

Currently on vacation, so unable to dig into this right now. Press release doesn’t mention $237M gift announced at commencement that quickly fell apart, but hard to imagine it didn’t play a role
Been reporting on this for a while because the purported donor failed to make a similar promised donation to CCU years earlier. Check out my latest on how CCU could’ve saved FAMU this embarrassment by being more transparent myrtlebeachonline.com/news/l…
