Axanar management says they are impaneling a board of "experts" to release a commentary on the spending which will "prove it was all done responsibly and Alec did not take a cent".
Even if nothing went to Alec's own pocketbooks, pissing away over a million bucks and only producing the Vulcan scene and the "waves upon the firmament" pew-pew trailer is not responsible spending. It must be a little cold in Southern California because the only other way to waste that much money is to burn it in a fireplace.
