"Clinton Foundation Is Charity Fraud Of Epic Proportions", Analyst Charges In Stunning Takedown

In early May, we introduced readers to Charles Ortel, a Wall Street analyst who uncovered financial discrepancies at General Electric before its stock crashed in 2008, and whom the Sunday Times of London described as "one of the finest analysts of financial statements on the planet" in a 2009 story detailing the troubles at AIG. Having moved on beyond simple corporate fraud, Ortel spent the past year and a half digging into something more relevant to the current US situation:"charities", and specifically the Clinton Foundation’s public records, federal and state-level tax filings, and donor disclosures.

Four months ago, Ortel began releasing his preliminary findings in the first of a series of up to 40 planned reports on his website. His allegation was simple: “this is a charity fraud.”

To learn more about the Clinton Foundation, Ortel decided to "take it apart and see how it worked" and he has been doing that ever since February 2015.

“I decided, as I did with GE, let’s pick one that’s complicated,” said Ortel. “The Clinton Foundation is complicated, but it’s really very small compared to GE.”

When Ortel tried to match up the Clinton Foundation’s tax filings with the disclosure reports from its major donors, he said he started to find problems. That includes records from the foundation’s many offshoots—including the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Clinton Global Initiative—as well as its foreign subsidiaries.

"I decided it would be fun to cross-check what their donors thought they did when they donated to the Clinton Foundation, and that’s when I got really irritated,” he said. “There are massive discrepancies between what some of the major donors say they gave to the Clinton Foundation to do, and what the Clinton Foundation

If we don’t wrest at least a modicum of control over our government that this criminal cabal (Obama, Soros, Clinton and yes even the Bush families) holds, we are truly done. The rule of law ceased to exist. It is probably too late.

I'm worried too.

Great post. I took some time reading it and came away feeling sick, even knowing what I was going to see. A couple of these grifters in a position of power covering for the others is all it took for this thing to take root.

$140 million in, $9 million out for actual charity, the rest spent on "administration". $131 million worth of administration. And the people who were entrusted with shutting this sort of abuse down are do deeply involved themselves that they risk prison for doing their jobs. Truly a criminal empire.

I agree.

Wasn’t much, if not all, of this documented in the book & movie “Clinton Cash” and nothing has happened. Outside of Hannity & FR, it has rarely, if ever, been mentioned.

Why is the Clinton Foundation located in Canada instead of in the US?

...digging through the foundation's numbers can not have been easy, considering that the nation’s most influential charity watchdog put the Clinton Foundation on its “watch list” of problematic nonprofits in 2015. Furthermore, the Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid. That's because the organization spent the vast bulk of its windfall on "administration, travel, salaries and bonuses", with the fattest payouts going to family friends.

: “It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons,” said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group where progressive Democrat and Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout was once an organizing director.

I agree.

But be careful with your church, too. My church hands over LOTS of money and goods to the local government for distribution. I am not a fan of that and I do not give to any fund that gets handed over to government.

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act-

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, commonly referred to as the RICO Act or simply RICO, is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them in doing, closing a perceived loophole that allowed a person who instructed someone else to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.[1]

It’s located in Canada because Canadian law says you don’t have to report WHO gave you money!!!! Look it up if you don’t believe me.

Yes, but as this article points out, Clinton Cash was focused on connecting the pay-to-play dots, which is something that is hard to prove legally.

This guy has looked more to the issue of charity fraud, which can be more straightforward insofar as their activities don’t at all align with their charter.
