The “vendor buck” used as part of Malcolm Fledge AKA Kenton Paul’s fraud

Correction on the vendor bucks from reddit user fuzzy_one: “The vendor bucks were handed out to all the contest winners to use at the vendors booths in place of prizes. Everyone else used standard money and Credit Cards to buy things from the vendors.” (The discussion during the show states all vendor transaction were handled via vendor bucks)
