VEC (Chapter)

Intro
The VEC (Verdish Entertainment Company) was a for-profit company started by Talen. Initially the idea was to provide a service to the community where they'd pay the chapter to host a fighting event at their party. When this did not pan out it shifted to its selling Verdish weaponry and other miscellaneous items. The profits did not return to the organization, they were pocketed by Talen.
It became problematic because there were suspicions that benefactor funding was misappropriated to the VEC and that the entire operation in the west was shifting into this model. Suspicions went full red flag when Talen asserted that losing the chapter debit card meant he could no longer provide financial records for the year.
This issue was never formally brought up in public debate because Talen refused to continue on a prior point.
