Claims have been made that some fannibals were comped tickets to FannibalFest. People on certain panels like @docnickie (who was definitely on the fan fiction panel) interesting.

I am by no means a professional chef but I don't think that this dinner ($170 Value) is worth the money people paid for it. Though it was supposed to be overseen (and approved) by professional chef Janice Poon I'm pretty sure she dropped the ball on this one. I wonder why she's fine with slapping her name on this low quality level of food as an endorsement when it's clear she definitely has the talent and ability to do much better herself. Is this a rip off? What does eveyone think?

To all those Wondering Janice DID see the food and seems to think it's great she even thanked the Chefs:

Here the proof if you want it and I archived it as well:

These are the vegetarian dishes but she seems perfectly aware of what the other ones looked like, and you can see from the tweet she retweeted:

The onion tart and mask dish was included so yes Janice Poon stands by this crap and here's your proof.

Breakfast With Daddy was a total rip-off and yet no one is complaining so either everyone’s completely brainwashed or something is going on here.

For Fannibal Fest 2018 the guest lineup is lackluster, especially considering the price of the tickets. 

[fannibalfestscamreport-blog]

A wealthy benefactor who is also a Fannibal has decided to donate 5 tickets to giveaway to people who otherwise can't afford it. No, seriously like, don't enter if you can pay for tickets. Oh you also have to have a tumblr blog which they don't tell you is the case if you enter ONLY via their website at FannibalFest.com and there are only 5 tickets. Also, despite all of this, it seems NO ONE IS INTERESTED in even attempting to get free tickets. Imagine that.

How does FannibalFest 2 have a bigger budget but worse guests? Why are you people still throwing money at this?

[fannibalfestscamreport-blog]

FannibalFest 2 is NOT Cheaper

Despite all of their claims LAST year that this year would be cheaper it absolutely is not. 

They asked for more money in their kickstater and prices are exactly the same. 

They are also trying to sell tickets BEFORE announcing any guests. 

This is a rip off plain and simple and the fact that anyone is falling for it is terrifyingly bad. 

Listen Fannibals, I know you like your show BUT THIS ENTIRE THING IS A RIP OFF! Conventions should be FAR cheaper than this and if they aren’t they should at very least announce one or two guests BEFORE trying to sell you 200$ tickets. STOP SUPPORTING THIS!

In the early 2000’s Jennifer Cornet ran a cult in the Final Fantasy Seven fandom. One that became infamous and has been talked about across the internet and in several news articles. She left quite a few victims in her wake, many who had to be treated for PTSD after living with her for an extended period of time.

Unfortunately, Jennifer and her partner Anna, split from the cult and the last anyone heard around 2005 or 2006 they were headed towards Wisconsin, after leaving Pennsylvania where the original cult house was. That’s when the former cult lost track of her and the information started to come out.

In 2013, Jenifer Cornet and her partner Anna resurfaced running a website known as Tattle-Crime.com which was merely just a front for Jennifer to start all over again and prey on more innocent victims. This channel details my story of dealing with her and her cult, and the fallout of attempting to expose this information in a fandom full of mentally unstable psychotics. A fandom known as the Hannibal fandom.

With the help of the creator of the show, Bryan Fuller, as well as the producer of the show, Martha DeLaurentiis, and the network of NBC, Jennifer Cornet was promoted, enabled, and legitimized allowing her to make countless people victims of her scams, online and in real life. These so called, professionals, endorsed Jennifer and her website without ever bothering to meet her, talk to her on the phone or even learn her real name. Without the help of such prominent people, Jennifer would have never caused as much damage as she has.

Currently, her whereabouts are unknown but she still has at least one cult member brainwashed and held emotionally captive by her side. I am telling my story to draw awareness to not only how dangerous Jennifer Cornet is, but the Hannibal fandom as a whole (as they chose to protect her and threaten me instead of expose her for the criminal she was). I also hope to draw out anyone with information on where Jennifer Cornet is currently, so maybe she can be apprehended by authorities and finally brought to justice.

In 2017 during the first @fannibalfest-toronto , an attendee who wished to stay anonymous contacted our website, Fannibalfest.us to complain about what was happening at the convention. 

They provided pictures for us to use with permission and granted us permission to publish their complaints as an interview. Overall the convention was no more than a somewhat large party for fantatic Fannibals (not casual fans of the show). 

The panels were run by amateurs and it seems that one of the guests who was promised never even showed up (at least there is no proof of that that I’ve ever been able to find). The attendee agreed that it was a disappointment and not worth the price they paid to get into the convention in the first place. 

Original Interview With Pictures and Sources: Here

[fannibalfestscamreport-blog]

I am attending a convention in May in a different state. Flight & Hotel for me will cost $350 dollars and I will be there 3 days and 4 nights. 

@fannibalfest-toronto is now offering a “Gold pass” on their second Kickstarter which is $390 dollars. So, the cost of my Flight and Hotel is less than just a weekend “Gold Pass” to their convention. 

Now, if you’ll recall, last year, Gold pass only allowed one free photograph. This means you had to pay for any other photo-op or autograph you wanted and the cheapest autograph was set at $35 dollars. 

You also had to still pay for hotel/travel as well. 

Then if you wanted to make a flower crown, you had to buy a $14 dollar kit, in advance or else you couldn’t make one. 

If you wanted to go to the Eat The Rude dinner you had to pay an additional $160 dollars at least. 

The bus tour was also extra and it was spread out over 4 confusing days and somewhere in the range of $170 dollars. 

So if you wanted to do everything (not including hotel and travel) just have all the fun you possibly could at this convention, at very least you’d need to spend around $500 to $600 dollars in addition to travel and hotel and other expenses. 

Doesn’t seem much different this year despite FannibalFest claiming that they would be “a lot cheaper” the second time around because they would be “more established”. 

Seems to me the only people going to this are fanatics and I mean in the worst sense of the word. It also appears to only be women, no men. 

Oh, and it doesn’t seem Ellen Muth showed up at all to the last one, despite them promising she’d show up. Never explained why that was. 

Still, the fandom has chosen not to question this or even try to stop it because hey, who cares if it’s a scam if they talk about how Gay Hannibal and Will are…am I right?

Unanswered FannibalFest Questions

First: They said that the next convention they’d need less money because they’d be “established” yet the second Kickstarter asked for considerably more money. They also said things would be cheaper next time because they’d be established. Things are basically about the same price.

Second: They immediately had about 11 grand in the Kickstarter within the hour that it opened. Considering they only have 94 backers, and 89 people who backed rewards enough to actually attend, this is puzzling. I highly doubt they are popular enough that fans waited until midnight to get the best rewards to the tune of 11 thousand dollars immediately being in the Kickstarter.

Third: Once again, vague terminology in their budget. Appearance and Tour being at $3800. Though I know the bus tour can’t be cheap, what appearance fees are they going to book with what is left over?

Fourth: $900 dollars for web and print. They don’t print a physical newsletter and an attendee from the last FannibalFest said none of the signs were professionally printed they were printed from what looked like a home computer, everything was very underwhelming for how much they had to pay to get in. Why do they need nearly 1000 dollars for a website that costs them at most $450 dollars to run per year, domain name renewal included?

Questions unanswered from the first FannibalFest:

First: How did they manage to get 7 celebrity guests on a budget of 20 thousand dollars? Even if we factor in the sponsors they conned out of money and the ticket sales, that at most puts them up to 25 thousand dollars, maybe 30 thousand. Even with that amount, they legally and logically couldn’t afford that many guests unless they did something shady with the money or duped some of these people out of getting paid.

Second: If they used their own money to pay for a lot of the convention, that’s fine, we aren’t claiming they can’t do that, but why not just say that? Why doesn’t Betsy just say “I used my own money to pay these guests to show up?” that would actually make a lot of sense but instead when she’s questioned she throws a hissy fit and tells people to go away.

The fact of the matter is that even if they are operating legally (and this is extremely questionable given their very suspicious and paranoid behavior towards everything) none of the money adds up, nor does their extremely vague budget. They also were definitely filed as a 501c3 and have not made their tax returns available publicly which is illegal. They’ve already violated the law in that capacity. Then we somehow have them getting 30 thousand dollars from less than 100 people? That averages out to an insane amount of money per person.

None of this adds up and the fact that people attend, don’t question it, and don’t think something is off proves that there is a cult mentality at work. Normal people with normal working brains do not throw money at things so obviously shady and poorly planned.

Note: On their second Kickstarter video they use the same people multiple times for “testimonials” and they also SEVERELY crop pictures to hide the fact that very few people showed up. They are intentionally misrepresenting the success of this convention the first time. More money doesn’t mean better second convention especially when it’s run by people who either don’t know how to handle money or are pocketing a good portion of it.

you didn't report them to the IRS you liar!

You realize the IRS isn’t like calling the police right? Like, you have to physically mail them papers and proof and then wait like 6 months? Trust me, they are shady enough to raise red flags. As we’ve already stated numerous times, they may be completely legally operated, however, if they aren’t then they are in trouble. If they are, then they can prove to the IRS easily that they aren’t scamming anyone. It’s actually not that difficult of a concept. They really shouldn’t go parading around as a 501c3 while calling themselves a 501c7 and a private business if they don’t want people to think they are shady.

[fannibalfestscamreport-blog]

There is a website called guidestar that is a list of non-profit organizations within the US which is where I looked up Fannibalfest's non-profit status. I'm taking a totally neutral approach here. It says that Fannibalfest corp is registered as a social club, but there is no financial information available. Idk if that's because they haven't done taxes or something more.

They may be listed as that but the legal paperwork which I found, they are filed under a 501c3. I’ve posted the paperwork many times and links to the paperwork. They are also listed, at the same time, as a private business. Which they can’t do if they are listed as a 501c3. The point is that these people are either trying to pull off a scam or they have no idea what how to budget money. Maybe it’s a bit of both, they could be idiots trying to run a scam but are complete failures at it because they don’t know how to budget money. You can find them listed under several things when you look them up, and I don’t put it past them to file multiple times trying to dodge taxes or scam people. 

[fannibalfestscamreport-blog]

Be wary of @fannibalfest-toronto there are many shady reasons pointing towards them being a scam, with plenty of proof (detailed in the video). If they aren’t a scam they are definitely very poor at handling money. Their first “convention” wasn’t nearly as successful as they claimed (around 100 people showed up, at most, out of a projected 500 people). Betsy bullies and shuts down anyone who asks normal questions like:

What are you doing with my money How are you affording all these guests if all your costs were for start-up fees and not to pay for guests? What is up with membership?  Why did you promise 24/7 private security but never hire private security?

Not to mention, they are legally registered as a non-profit 501c3 LEGAL CHARITY and refuse to show any financial transparency even though they are LEGALLY REQUIRED to post their IRS 990 form for anyone who asks. Not yell at people and claim they are a private business because they aren’t. All of their papers are filed publicly because they listed themselves as a charity. 

(They posted this then later deleted it when they decided that it made them look bad, which it does you can see an archived source here as proof) 

I will continue bringing up to date coverage on their second attempt on my channel until someone realizes just how shady they actually are and possibly shuts them down.

The fannibalfest “store” only has one follower and currently has no merchandise despite claiming they do on their MAIN page which means they aren’t even updating their own website despite trying to pimp out a second convention.
