Anybody know why on the official website the total amount of fund money doesn't seem to be increasing it has been at 901,234.89 for at least the last four days that I know of. Is this because people are no longer giving or they just don't want to inform people of the REAL total amount, or obviously monies being withdrawn for flights, accomodation, restaurant bills etc ?????

Miss principle I think your right, but "am I boverred" lol, we all have the right to ask and answer the questions genuinely, unfortunately some people only like to answer with abuse.

It's because they've finally got enough to buy that Buggatti Veyron.

I would expect that the amount would be updated periodically rather than it reflecting "real time" changes.
It would also not surprise me if the rate at which donations are made slows considerably - the majority of people who are going to donate will probably have done so by now.
I do not, for one moment, think that the McCanns campaign is about raising funds but about finding their daughter. The fund will open up possibilities that their personal resources could not stretch to.
I would not under any circumstances expect to see it go down as funds are spent - it is a record of the sum donated, not an account balance. I also don't think it's particularly helpful to speculate about what it is being spent on. I suppose you intend to convey disapproval of it being spent on "flights, accommodation, restaurant bills, etc". There are no grounds for believing that it will be used other than in accordance with the stated intentions of the limited company.

i think they are keeping it secret now and not updating the amount.
Faith - i suppose the problem is that people have giving in good faith (excuse the pun) that the money is being used to 'actively' search for the child. I agree that private investigators need to be kept private so we wouldnt necessarily need to know about them but to be spending on hotel bills etc may disappoint those who gave in expectation that it would be used for actual searching time and techniques (whatever those might be)

This happened a couple weeks ago and in a few days the new figure suddenly appeared. Wait a bit it may be the same thing again.

Hi,
I reckon that its because people just aren't donating any more as this has become old news now and there are a lot more things happening in the world.
You basically inferred the same thing by saying (Sorry people another maddie question)
Cheers
Cheeky.........

Its probably frozen, maybe even the McCanns are too embarressed for the total to be showing a whopping one million pounds..
Faith, the proof that they are spending it on flights, accommodation , trips etc was on yesterdays SKY NEWS, written by Great Uncle Brian, then pulled suddenly in the hope not many people saw it.

I wholly agree with Steve B. The Mcann's milked every opportunity to make cash. Peoples kids go missing every day, but for some reason, the mcanns get about 2-3 weeks of non-stop media attention. Loz. I don't really have any sympathy for them at all, it was their fault she got snatched.

I think that this may be possible. Why would they take only her and leave her twin brothers if they had went into the room?

I know is hard, but try to realise that this one incident has snowballed into a money making media circus ..
... whlst all eyes are on 'maddie' children are still being kidnapped and sold into slavery every hour of every day .. and no-one cares ..
