GROVE HILL, AL Mac McQuown continues to press forward at a turtle's pace on his fraudulent, donation-funded walk across America. To date, his lack of transparency and honesty about his route, his location or full disclosure of gifts, services and monetary donations has been absolutely ZERO. Generally speaking, those who are performing acts of altruism for the benefit of others have been completely transparent about their projects, but McQuown continues to not only provide zero information but claims that doing so will encourage his "haters" to warn the public about his fraud.
The evidence is out there. All you have to do is Google McQuown's name or his previous endeavors to see just how fraudulent they were and how far he will go to deceive others while using the plight of US soldiers and veterans as his marketing platform to fatten his wallet.
McQuown was investigated by the State of Florida last year, and was told that he may not solicit donations unless he is registered to do so. This has not stopped McQuown from asking for assistance on his donor funded vacation across America. In fact, less than 3 hours ago he posted this from his Facebook:

Many of you know last Friday I was Not up to par to do any walking. I woke up last Friday with a Thundering Head ache, very upset stomach. Felt over heated. At times dizzy & weak. But I pushed on and wanted to walk that day anyway. Well Though my mind said yes my body would have no part of it. It took me 2 hours to walk 1 mile. So I had to swallow my pride and put my stubborn nature aside and do the Safe thing. I reached out to all of you for help. Many of you said prayers for me which I absolutely appreciate , others send encouraging and kind words to me which was also wonderful. A couple of you stepped up and helped with getting a motel room and one of you paid for 2 nights and in addition provided a little more so that I could get some food.
Two hours to walk a mile? That's nothing unusual for him as he has traveled no more than 500 miles in two months. It would take a man 157 hours on foot to walk from his starting point to his current position in Grove Hill, Alabama.
To date McQuown has been on the road 1,656 hours and has moved on foot only 157 hours. You do the math! This man is not serious about his "walk". This is the THIRD one that he has attempted that hasn't been shut down yet because people caught onto his fraud and alerted other communities.
McQuown has NO pride. His entire venture is funded by donors -- he does NOT PERSONALLY FUND THIS HIMSELF. So, his no pride having self reaches out to churches and others who have no clue that they are assisting a fraud for help.
This isn't the first time McQuown has "reached out to all of you" for a motel room or other donations. Again, he is NOT funding this himself so his entire walk is based on solicitation of donations.
