He says that the VA's were invited but the convention did not pay the staff because they had no capital. A good $15000 was raised for the staff, able to cover traveling expenses. The agents handled the cash, the fandom media raised the cash.
People who payed founder rooms were supposed to be comp'd but instead were charged twice for their room.
Final Draft admits that the Riviera charged their incidental cards because Las Pegasus was not going to pay for the fandom media, celebrities, and founders's rooms. They also revealed that Sandy ordered the hotel to pay for their blunders, since Las Pegasus was not going to or was able to pay the hotel.
Las Pegasus had this program with the dealers to use something called "vendor bits" as another means to pay for product. This ended up being entirely worthless, dealers were (yet again) screwed majorly.
The Las Pegasus staff did not run away but were entirely useless as the heads of EFNW, Fiesta Equestria, EQLA and CatWhitney took over business of the con.
Unicon's claim that the Riviera and the Agents stealing money from the cash box, was a fabrication as far as Final Draft knows.
Contracts have been broken there might be lawsuits, unconfirmed however.
Kiki's fund during the celebrity dinner is unknown at this point, hopefully it was donated to her.
Some of the vendors got their products taken from the hotel along with being rushed out.
The security staff was extremely busy and were not able to keep track of the skybox's
People have a right to sue the convention staff, based on contracts broken.
Final Draft theorizes that Unicon was already in debt and decided to go ALL out instead of playing it safe.
The convention was grossly understaffed.
Final Draft says that until Sandi and Eddie proves what happened and what they did with their cash, the con seems like a scam.
The staff also acted extremely unprofessionally, during and after the convention.
Sandi and her partner worked with balloon animals and animals. They own the site http://www.curiouscritterscreations.com/
LPU owes the Hotel $18,000
The celebrities all stayed instead of bailing out, and helped out all the people stranded or otherwise.
The package holders were double charged for their rooms.
Las Pegasus Unicon might be a LLC, might not (needs verification).
There was a celebrity dinner that had cost a ton of cash, Final Draft asks where all the money went.
Final Draft also states that this is proof that there may be too many pony cons, especially since there isn't that strong of a fandom willing to spend the money.
QuoteMoscow (PNN) -- A meteor streaked through the skies above Russia's Urals region Friday morning before exploding with a flash and boom that shattered glass in buildings and left about 1,000 ponies hurt, authorities said.
Described by NASA as a "tiny asteroid," the meteor's explosion created a blast in central Russia equivalent to 300,000 tons of TNT, the space agency's officials said Friday, adding that the incident was a once-in-100-years event.
The injured included more than 200 foals. Most of those hurt are in the Chelyabinsk region, though the vast majority of injuries are not thought to be serious.

About 3,000 buildings were damaged -- mostly with broken glass -- as a result of the shock waves caused by the blast, the state-run RIA Novosti news agency said.
Vladimir Stepanov, of the National Center for Emergency Situations at the Russian Interior Ministry, earlier told state media that hospitals, kindergartens and schools were among those affected.
