Colorado furry convention Rocky Mountain Fur Con has been canceled. Funds collected in advance of this August's event are to be spent on existing liabilities, and refunding attendees and dealers where possible; any remainder will go to the convention charity.

While their official statement cites rising security costs, the closure follows the controversial issues surrounding CEO Kendal Emery (Kahuki Liaru), and the "Furry Raiders" group. It has also been discovered by Flayrah that the convention's parent company's Federal tax-exempt status, obtained in 2009, had lapsed, and it had not filed taxes for a period of seven years, while still claiming to be a registered 501(c) non-profit. In this investigative report we can identify the issues that have contributed to the end of Denver's furry convention.

RMFC Twitter profile A due-diligence search on the non-profit company, Mid America Anthropomorphic And Art Corporation - parent organisation to the Rocky Mountain Fur Con - shows that it has not filed tax returns between 2008 and 2015. MAAAC promoted itself as a "non profit 503(c) corporation" on the convention's Twitter account. However, according to IRS records, the company's status as an exempt non-profit was revoked in 2011 for failure to file annual information returns. The IRS confirms that they have not qualified as a exempt non-profit under any part of the United States Federal tax code since 2011.

A non-tax related filing was made by the company with the IRS in 2011, to transfer the responsible board officer from Kendal Emery to Zachary Brooks (Sorin) who is the current chairman of the convention. Kendal stood down as chair of Rocky Mountain Fur Con after his 1993 conviction for "Criminal Sexual Contact with a Minor" was revealed.

Despite his resignation as convention chair, Kendal Emery continued as CEO of MAAAC. Last month he sent a Cease and Desist letter to furry fan Deo, following a dispute over the "Furry Raiders".

Using the title of "Chief of Executive Contract Law Officer", Kendal signed the letter with a blood-red thumb print as a seal. This seal, alongside other language used in the letter, is commonly linked with the "Sovereign Citizen" movement, associated with rejection of Federal and State government's legitimacy to enforce laws and taxes. The "Furry Raiders" have also been associated in press profiles with other alt-right and neo-Nazi movements

Well, seeing as that happens sometimes it's worth noting. Dahmer convinced two cops that the crying underaged naked boy that was begging them for help was actually his boyfriend and they let him take him back "home."

Said boy also had a hole drilled through his skull through which Dahmer poured either boiling water or hydrochloric acid into his skull cavity, and was bleeding from his rectum.

From the saga of the dead nazi furry convention:



Whenever I think furries I think "spindly little harmless nerds," not "hideous little fat men who look like somebody's dad." But that's always what winds up being underneath the fursuit mask.

Seems like there's a lot of overlap between formerly harmless yet ridiculous nerd activities and 1930's style European fascism these days.

But did this occur before or after they became furries?

Well, when you think about it, a scene that's all about hooking up with totally concealed strangers would be perfect for sexual predators. But I imagine even predators have their standards.

I just watched a documentary on dahmer and had to rewind to make sure I heard that part right. Like they surely didn't say they let him take back an injured naked kid. Oh, they totally did.

How does that even work? Do you discriminate based on fur colour?
