DefendingSanta.com follows up on the sad story of corruption in the world of professional Santas.

DefendingSanta.com says some of the monies meant for the charity have been paid — but the math doesn’t quite add up and, oddly, the charity appears to have brokered a backroom deal to sweep the controversy under the carpet.
