Wtf! this Scientology guy is tricking the system people. What a way to trick the system and the people! On the forum thread for years he’d been asking us for handouts for rent and expenses and other things and now when I look he moves into section 8 home. Good for him but not for us who have to work for bread on the table. Why doesn’t these fund sites have a warning on this. WWP community should expose this.

Feeeloader Bunker
I know plenty of people in film, many of them who have made their own independent projects. Some have been funded completely out of their own pockets, some have found investors or grants, and some have used donations from the public. Most of the people I know that do not have a full investor from the get go have jobs that run concurrently while working on their projects, whether it be full time work or freelancing. However this is not always the case and they do not take as long as Mark Bunker in his never-ending fundraising drives to pay for a documentary we will likely never see. defaulters.com/2018/07/25/mark-bunker-accustomed-to-freeloading/
Mark Bunker - Clearwater
Mark Bunker was just running a GoFundMe campaign to get money for what he claimed was rent and expensed for a medical procedure. However, he has continued this by continuously raising the ask amount several times. Because he has a history of doing fundraisers and not coming up with the proof of his projects, I can bet that he’s using this money for something else, such as a huge TV, expensive condo or whatever.
Fake Fundraider
Mark Bunker has been doing campaigns on GoFundMe and IndieGogo to raise money for a movie documentary hes been doing for years. Tons of ppl have called him out that his fundraisers just continue non-stop, with over 15 to this date with thousands of dollars taken and many promises of the final product “coming soon”, but it never comes. Check this out, someone came up with dox: defaulters.com/2018/08/05/bunker-critics-have-caught-on-to-what-some-are-saying-is-a-con/
He got a new car. LOL
I’m coming back to add to this comment a year later, seems he did get something new around this time: a car –

I’m so sick of knowing that I gave him my money.
What a douche
You got the bankruptcy docs? That should reveal the mystery of how much he has scammed if you are saying what you are saying. It also should show what he does for a living besides scamming.
I see these campaigns –

Are there other methods he used to scam people for this purpose?
Is this guy a scam? Who knows Mark Bunker who asks for money all the time.
This guy Mark Bunker from some shady part of Florida (Penislles County? Clearwater? Tampa?) is asking for money for rent money while having a career in asking for donations. defaulters.com/2018/07/27/mark-bunker-begs-for-rent/. Does he have no profession, but he has to eat so he had to make up stories to get money to go to McDonald’s. I keep seeing him on twitter banging my feed for $$.
Then there’s Quinn Welsh-Wilson who also does this for everything. New clothes and rent. Almost every other month!
If you are a grown adult you shouldn’t be asking for rent cash on gofundme. Just seems everyone can do this and be scamming us.
The Bunker guy is into some weird Sh*t like Tom Cruise or something.
McDonalds might have been a big mistake.
Begging in Clearwater
Bunker continues to get donations from people for his livelihood. This has become so blatantly a scam, it’s crazy. He tells people its for one thing because he knows people will help him fund a Scientology movie documentary in clearwater but he takes advantage of this. In January Mark set a target of $5000 in donations so he could finish his film by May. Then only one month later, he says he needs another $3000 to shoot one more scene? So WTF!!!, does he really need $3000 more in March, April and May? Then which May does it become – 2020? Not to mention that the newest back information and reason for money sounds so contrived and unreal, it’s laughable. A scammer is a scammer, and yes, even Mark Bunker. It’s just that its the worst when you have guys supposedly on your own side scamming you.
Is he bankrupt?
Over $50,000 in debt and this was all primarily consumer debts. Looks like he’s shafted these companies and tax-payers! Where did the $95K go? Colonel Sanders apparently. Gross income was 12 G’s in 2016 but double that in 2018. Looks like he’s lying. Anyone report this to the bankruptcy court?
Don't give him any money
Mark has pulled the wool over so many peoples eyes that he could stand beside the original Jordan Belfort and fit in. Year after year he has said something was coming, and literally every one of his fans go over and above defending the fact that he hasn’t done anything. After every adult obstacle, Mark takes the easy route and asks his gullible and blind fans to give him money and no-one is the wiser apparently.
Still a begger

my 2 cents
My personal feeling is Mark Bunker is a self serving twat. I’ve seen figures of up to tens of thousands of dollars given to him since 1999 and no-one has an answer as to what it was spent on, and Mark never answers these questions, he only asks for more.
Mark Bunker is bankrupt. Confirmed
Mark Bunker went bankrupt and claimed his daytime job is working in a boiler room (dox at undergroundbunker.org/tony-ortegas-unreliable-sources-mark-bunker). So Bunker he has to make ends meet. Can’t blame him. It’s a rough world out there. He probably already tried this but he should get a loan from his unrequited love. At least that would be legal.

Has anyone reported him to the Clearwater police yet? This must be some kind of criminal activty. defaulters.com/2018/08/10/did-donations-help-pay-for-bunkers-new-car/
I couldn’t agree with you more and have stated as much elsewhere. Mark Bunker is self serving, he lost sight of his goal long ago. The project isn’t about the movie anymore, it is about him and his ego.
Possibly he’s not up to speed tech wise and is avoiding releasing due to embarrassment, he knows the critics will be brutal and so hes afraid of the reaction that people will be incredulous that 15 years was spent on mediocrity.
If that is the case, then he’s laughing all the way to the bank. Well, not very loudly, because laughing at people you screwed up isn’t very smart in the long run.
I Adore Mark Bunker, exposing Scientology's deadly frauds
I love Mark Bunker’s work, he worked for the Lisa McPherson Foundation for a while exposing the notoriously criminal Scientology crime syndicate, and he has helped hundreds of victims of dwarf David Miscavige’s frauds escape.
Alas he was too late to save Lisa McPherson’s life, these Scientology crims tied her to a bed and deliberately starved her to death when she started talking about escaping.
Stop wasting your money and time on Mark Bunker
Mark Bunker started a scilon “documentary” in 2010 and had already supposedly had 10 years of footage collected from earlier years. He never truly answers questions about where all the moneys are and why he keeps taking more money and asking more and more and more for more. He doesn’t give people anything back and doesn’t explain himself, he only begs.
Refuse to support Scientology’
I refuse to shop or even stop in Clearwater, used to go to a pizza shop till I found out it was owned by a Scientologist. They are intimidating, and I fear for my safety there.they wear uniforms and march in packs around town.
I think he's a narcissist in it for the money and attention
Now, I am biased. As a long time Scientology protester Mark has almost never had a kind word to say about my work despite the fact (or maybe because) people tell me I make memorable videos on this subject.
Once I offered to do 3d animation for his videos. He said he had no idea how he would ever need that. Then he asked me instead to animate the logo anonymous made him in the wise beard man days. I was not going to spend hours slaving away on his narcissism.
Mark makes look-alike talking head videos which are sometimes barely edited and sometimes (such as with Jason Beghe) TERRIBLY LIT if you can call it that. Who puts someone in front of a bright window to do a headshot? Yes he has put in his years for the cause but I find him massively over-rated.
DISCLAIMER: Mark has done huge things for the protest movement. I drove his car (badly) to the Hemet police station when he was arrested on false charges. He has been fair gamed densely at times with gum stuck on his camera lens as paid off cops laughed! Yet he also acts more and more like Scientology, which specializes in taking money for things that it does NOT deliver.
He has raised money for years on a movie, KNOWLEDGE REPORT, which was never released. He just lived off the money. At least I also do CGI animation and fix PCs. And who would watch talking heads for two hours? Even Going Clear, a wonderful show, had a bit much of that talking head stuff. He has had all those recordings for years and yet never finished his work? It is not as if he was busy animating 3d segments (as my videos have).
I made several perfectly entertaining videos about/for Mark Bunker for Karen De La Carriere. They discussed his work and the forming of Anonymous. Did he even thank me in any way as Karen and some of her other guests had? No he ignored me. He may find my work too “edgy” in its civil disobedience. I find his work BORING. He stands in front of Big Blue one day walking around saying “This is this and that is that.” So old skool. I don’t even show up as anything but a disembodied voice in my videos most of the time. AKA his work seems self absorbed like he defines himself by the story he covers.
Speaking of that, don’t take my word for it just read Tony Ortega: tonyortega.org/2015/11/04/mark-bunker-whats-taking-that-film-of-yours-knowledge-report-so-long/
Yes I take donations monthly at patreon.com/angrygaypope and EVERY MONTH I deliver for my donors with new videos and articles re: So Cal Scientology. Mark went YEARS without putting up much on his youtube channel other than a bird he saw in a FL parking lot. He lost his xenutv.com website out of some kind of incompetence. He parked his rental car in a Scientology controlled lot in the Pacific Northwest during an Ideal Org opening and, no surprise, they smashed it up. What is going on with this man?
And now he is taking money not for a movie but a political movement. He wants to be on Clearwater FL city council. Well that is great if it upsets the cult and he makes a serious effort. But if he does the bare minimum yet demands donations, as is his Modus Operandi, it is just another scam. Also, what political experience does he have? It is great if it upsets the cult and keeps them busy, but I would never give him a cent for anything he does.
Here is some Latin from the Angry Gay Pope potential Bunker donors: CAVEAT EMPTOR (buyer beware).
