Why stop there?
Planning may have crossed state lines. Don't forget conspiracy. RICO might apply. FBI should be contacted immediately.

Sock Drive Update
From an email received in the past hour:
It's been determined David Mosley is not nearly cool enough to participate in socksANONYMOUS' sock drive. Therefore, the drop-off location has changed to the H&R Block office at 1130 Eastern Blvd. in Clarksville, Monday-Friday, 9-6. The dates will remain the same, continuing through Friday, April 13. Some socks had already been collected at Mosley's office before he started grouchily turning them away. Those will be retrieved and all donations will still be given to CleanSocksHope, Inc.* per the original plan.
Mr. Mosley has also inexplicably chosen to post online that socksANONYMOUS solicited monetary donations payable to his law office. That is untrue. He should know that is untrue. There's documentation showing that it is untrue.
"socksANONYMOUS is a militant group of do-gooders using social media and humor to improve the world one fun stunt at a time."
We are still committed to that mission and regret this event wasn't more fun. There's still time to make it successful.
Some people...
*Clean Socks Hope, Inc., is in no way affliated with the organization of this effort. They are only the intended recipient of donations of new socks. Those wanting to contribute money should do so at cleansockshope.org.

A PLAN GONE AWRY?
THE COMMENTARIES HAS RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT FROM socksANONYMOUS
Charity sock drive at risk
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jeffersonville, IN - A sock drive to be held to help the homeless while celebrating April Fools' Day has run aground as one planned participant balks at hosting the event.
"We were assured repeatedly during the planning process for this event that [David] Mosley would be on board. Tributes to his generosity and sense of humor were many in these discussions. We praised his graciousness in our original release. Information coming in now leads us to believe these fine qualities were overestimated," said one organizer.
"We fear the charity which was set to receive the donated socks is being harmed by online comments suggesting they are not legitimate. The charity was only to be the recipient of this drive. They were not involved in the planning. This same charity holds benefit concerts at the Jeffersonville RiverStage, concerts which benefit the organizations Mr. Mosley supports: Haven House Services, Inc. and Jesus Cares at Exit 0.
This event was conceived in a spirit of fun and charity. We understand Mr. Mosley's initial surprise, but we are now the surprised ones. We did not expect any meanness or disparagement of a charity as a result. We believe while our organization's members are anonymous, Mr. Mosley understands the symbolism involved and surely knows by whom he's been had and should know that while he may disagree with a few of these persons on other matters, they are not ones to perpetuate fraud in the name of the homeless.
We've attempted to communicate with Mr. Mosley via email to address any concerns he has, but he has not responded.
The drive is now in limbo of a kind. We do not know if Mr. Mosley has chosen to play along for a good cause or take some other course of action. We will have to cancel the drive soon if the information we have continues to suggest Mr. Mosley is offended rather than amused at his inclusion and does not want to participate. This would be a shame since those donating are sincere and many have no knowledge of how the event was organized or why it would've been done the way it was. We'll provide more information when we have it.
For now we recommend donors visit: http://www.cleansockshope.org/ and use the donate button to contribute. We apologize for any confusion."

The drive was to begin April 2 and is scheduled to continue through April 13. For more information email socksANONYMOUS@gmail.com.
KAC Update:
We've received a follow-up comment to the above release.
"She's being too nice. Bottom line is we need to know whether he's able to laugh at himself and have fun with this, or do we need to come get our hamper and remember not to include him in anything fun in the future. And we need to know soon as things are now up in the air," said another organizer.
