Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

Warning as they claim in the GoFundMe this is not a charity I repeat this is not a legal charity. I haven't worked for them in the beginning and I discovered massive fraud. This store is all based on lies being run by a con man named Paul Walton. Paul Walton is using his father like an organ grinder uses a monkey. He has been craving his father around for years reason tens of thousands of dollars and just getting free meals and restaurants free hotels and raising money with a square card, a PayPal account, a fraudulent GoFundMe account as well as receiving cash gifts and in-kind donations. I am writing you this note out of respect.  Have you done your due diligence ond Sidney Walton and his son Paul Walton?  In the beginning of this so-called "Goodwill Tour" I was their press agent and publicist. I was in charge of arranging all of the personal appearances with all the previous Governors up until Governor Cuomo in New York.

When we arrived in New York I decided to do some fact-checking and due diligence because I thought that Sidney Walton was being coached constantly by his son Paul on what to say how to respond; which put Sydney's mental state in question. I decided to check the New York archives and the New York Library as well as the Central Park archives in order to confirm that Pauls claim of meeting Civil War veterans in Central Park in 1941 was true. To my great disappointment I discovered that the story of Civil War veterans and Central Park was a complete fabrication.  I also tried to confirm that Sidney Walton had suffered an ankle injury which prevented him from serving in the Battle of the Bulge and this is a fabrication as well.  Sidney actually broke his ankle while parasailing in Fiji according to an article published in Nola) I asked Mr. Paul Walton about these issues he simply dismissed them and said that "it doesn't matter now .....because we have all the news agencies both print and tv  behind us now.."....  I must regretfully inform you that Paul Walton is using his father Sidney, solely to raise money using a square credit card processor, PayPal account, and a GoFundMe campaign.  Paul has been also receiving in-kind gifts such as free hotels free car rental, free meals at restaurants, and other self solicited benefits.  The website that you promote has been changed at least 30 times in the last 45 days........ this is a sign that he is adjusting the truth in order to receive maximum Financial contributions. 

There will be more information released has more facts are uncovered and more news articles are scrubbed. I believe that he is continuing to use the media and the political establishment in order to achieve is own financial gain with his father as the front man. I cannot sit back and allow this fraud to continue to victimize anymore good natured, well-meaning and kind-hearted citizens.

 Mr. Walton you are being untruthful to the American public. You did not quit your job to take care of your aging father... The fact is you took over Sydney's home took his money because you filed bankruptcy in order to protect yourself from your failing business called The Castle Creek Resort & Spa. We have a few questions that we would love for you to answer Does your father have dementia? Is he in control over his own finances? How come when I work for you Sidney Walton do not even know what state we were in? Where were the Civil War veterans because the records in the archives indicate they were never in Central Park.

You are a liar and you are a scammer and I've known you for 25 years and you've never worked a single day in your life..... This would normally be fine except now that you're broke you're living off of the donations to your father and living off of his pension... That's a fact and that's just wrong. If Sidney Walton would like to raise awareness then let him speak on that...... have his son stop trying to get rich off of this fraudulent Goodwill tour... if you wants to raise awareness for World War II veterans then stop raising money on PayPal, GoFundMe, cash donations, and checks written to a PO Box in San Diego..... have them stop claiming that they are a charity on go fund me when they are not a charity 501 3 C. Stop scamming the American public..... and stop scamming the media and stop scamming governors.

 I am Paul Walton, and this will be my first, last, and only rebuttal to the utterly false allegations against my father, myself, and the National No Regrets Tour. Dad is a 99 ½ year-old WWII Army veteran (1941-46). He has told us on many occasions how deeply he regrets missing the opportunity to meet a few of the last surviving Civil War veterans who were in New York City. The No Regrets Tour is a wonderful way of making up for this regret. It has given my dad a renewed sense of purpose. He is making himself available to anyone who wants to meet a WWII veteran. His goal is to meet all 50 governors in all 50 states, to raise awareness of the vanishing number of WWII veterans. The tour will conclude on his 100th birthday on February 11th, 2019 at the White House.

I gave up my job six years ago to take care of my father full-time. He owns no property and has no savings. The tour is funded entirely by his government pension and social security, and generous donations from well-wishers. We are traveling on a shoestring budget, and all donations go 100% to defraying tour expenses (such as hotels, meals, rental cars, taxis, airfares, wheelchairs, medical supplies, emergency health care visits, signs, banners, and paid assistants). The author of the accusations is Noah Zeiler, a disgruntled former assistant who worked for us briefly at the start of our campaign, as he states in his report. Public records reveal his checkered past.

See, for example: https://www.bustedmugshots.com/florida/miami-beach/noah-zeiler/38916401, and https://florida.arrests.org/Arrests/Noah_Zeiler_15607055/). Ironically enough, there's also this 2009 Rip-off report accusing Noah himself of deceitful practices: https://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/global-bullion-exchange-noah-zeiler-luis-pineda-adam-king/lake-worth-florida-33461/global-bullion-exchangenoah-zeiler-luis-pineda-adam-king-lost-125000-of-135000-wi-429382. Once it was apparent who we were dealing with, I paid him in full and bought him a one-way plane ticket from New York to Los Angeles. It is unfortunate that he has since dedicated himself to trying to undermine the tour. We will continue to be transparent in this No Regrets Tour. Please check out our website, GoSidneyGo.com, and feel free to contact me with any questions.
