INTRODUCTION
I've been working on several articles about Steven Joel Kerzner and Liana Kerzner, and was planning on publishing this one covering their various "fundraisers" much later. But several of their backers began complaining on social media and their crowdfunding sites about the Kerzners' failure to deliver on promised rewards, and the seal was broken on this particular story by a YouTuber who contacted me on Twitter (@TommySerson), so it seems the time is now to post this critique.
Serson's rants aimed at the Kerzners' fundraising schemes can be found here:
What Serson presents are his opinions based on the facts as he knows them. He raises questions based on reasonable assumptions but did make a mistake in accusing the Kerzner Family Foundation of any wrongdoing. That Steven Kerzner is a socially-minded philanthropic Ottawan, NOT the diminutive, bald and troll-like Toronto-based Steven Kerzner who puts his hand up a sock's butt in a desperate cry for attention and pocket change. From now on I'll just call them "Good Steven" and "Shitty Steven" to avoid further confusion.
After I looked into this charity I let Serson know it was not the same Steven Kerzner, and to his credit he posted an immediate retraction, owning his mistake but continuing to demand answers to other questions that have been raised about the Kerzners' financial dealings.
To be clear, the Kerzner Family Foundation is a genuine and reputable Canadian charity directed by Good Steven and his wife Linda Kerzner. Serson simply made an honest mistake, misreading their names as Steven and Liana Kerzner, and assumed it must be the same couple. It's an easy error to make, so from now on - once again simply to avoid confusion - I'll refer to these two women as "Good Linda" and "Shitty Liana".
So let's talk about Shitty Steven and Shitty Liana's shitty crowdfunding schemes.
Hopefully I can fill in some of the blanks concerning their sad request for a handout, but as it stands there are four big questions the Shitty Kerzners need to answer:
1. WHY DO THEY NEED TO BEG FOR OUR CASH?
2. HOW MUCH DID THEY RAISE?
3. WHAT ARE THEY SPENDING OUR MONEY ON?
4. HAVE THEY KEPT THEIR PROMISES TO BACKERS?
