Angel Studios, the production company behind the summer box office hit, announced on Wednesday that all those who crowdfunded the film's release had been paid.
Angel Studios announced on Wednesday that it had repaid all 6,678 investors who crowdfunded the film’s theatrical debut, plus a promised 20 percent dividend, given the movie’s phenomenal $174 million takings at the box office on a budget of $19 million since being released in early July.
Newsweek previously reported that Fabian Marta, one of the many who helped fund the movie, was arrested in late July and charged with accessory to child kidnapping, according to a Missouri court filing. Marta has denied any wrongdoing and his attorney has said he will plead his innocence in court.
I don’t plan on seeing the film, but this is quite a stretch to get the headline: “One of your 6,678 investors is a piece of shit! GOTCHA!”
I mean aside from Tim Ballard who has been lying about his credentials, or Jim Cavaziel who constantly promotes Qanon bullshit, both are core to the making of this Qanon “satanic panic” movie, there’s plenty of pieces of shit to go around here for this movie.
As the case is still pending, presumption of innocence - but even if the guy is guilty, that doesn’t mean that an unrelated investment doesn’t have to be fulfilled. I’m sure this guy has a job; should be also be shouting that his employer direct deposited his last paycheck?
Just because someone is accused or even convicted of something, even if that accusation or conviction is horrible, doesn’t mean that “anyone who owes him money doesn’t have to pay it anymore.” In the US, consequences of conviction are ordered by the court at sentencing.

I wouldn’t know, I don’t care enough about the film to actually look into it.
Well when a blatant propaganda piece becomes a box office success people tend to start paying attention.

This story is bullshit.
