The Trumpers must have been laughing, well, this is all legal, and Top Shelf.
No constitution, no laws, no regulations, no rules, no procedures, no precedent, no decorum, no contracts, no agreements, no nothing.

Rather than complying in good faith, the admin said “okay, we’re doing a ‘review’ that lasts an unknown period of time. That’s totally not a hold.”
"Shall not sell, convey, assign, launch into outer space, alienate, bury in peat moss . . ."
The payment disbursal system lists every “review” as a a hold!
They’re betrayed by their antiquated IT, from the looks of this screenshot of the payment system.

Sadly they’re probably right, lest someone goes full rogue
