If I understood this correctly, it’s not one-fifth of the total budget, but only a budget one-fifth the normal size for advance funds. The real danger is if anything goes wrong, like a flood or a snowstorm that seriously hurts attendance, then that would also impact the total funds available.
Still, I’d try to ask about those credit card purchases. How can you not know how to contact last year’s treasurer, unless there was a really horrific staff blowup which is not mentioned. Maybe he’s on the run from more than just this con com.
Yeah, the purchases he authorized are final now(though I’d call every dept head and return/hock anything I could get away with), but stuff Gary bought himself? I’d be looking closely at any of those that aren’t absolutely con-related and going after him for every cent. This strikes me as intentional and vengeful on his part, you may as well return the favor.
UnCONventional is a comic that ran from December 2009 to December 2019 about the staff of a small town anime convention and their lives. This is a complete online archive of the comic.

On the good side, some of the purchases and expenditures must have been persistent- equipment and whatnot that will last for a bit. Still, ouchie.

Deep thinking – adds a new dinmseion to it all.

Agreed, some of those purchases should help, but only a bit. Sounds like the Con could use a couple fund raising events.
