The wife of a homeless charity boss who allegedly cheated California taxpayers out of $23 million dollars was spotted dashing out of her $7 million dollar mansion Sunday — as neighbor’s dished on the couple’s lavish lifestyle.
Alexander Soofer and Ashley Afraimian allegedly blew $40,000 just on landscaping at their Westwood estate, which the feds claim was bought with fraudulently obtained funds meant to help Los Angeles’ homeless community.
“The neighborhood is buzzing,” one local resident said.
“Taking money marked for the homeless. Its horrible, horrible” said another outraged neighbor.
Afraimian, dressed in a grey sweater adorned with blue stars, her hair pulled back into a messy ponytail, emerged from the couple’s modern mansion, ignoring questions about the accusations against her hubby as she ran to her luxury, black SUV.
Federal and local prosecutors on Friday accused Soofer of using his non-profit to scam the public out of $23 million in homeless funds, using at least $10 million to buy his swanky home, take luxury vacations, including to the White Lotus hotel in Hawaii, buy a $125,000 Range Rover and pay for his kids’ private school tuition.
The couple has three “very young” children and spent “at least $40,000 on landscaping,” claimed one neighbor, adding that their house on the quiet, tree-lined block was constantly being renovated.
The fortress-like estate was blanketed with security cameras, and a fountain bubbled near the front door, with designer furniture adorning the front yard.
Inside, several unopened packages could be seen sitting in the entryway alongside a statue of a golden horse.

The face of the Democratic Party.
I think it must be spellcheck that makes Democratic Party come out when they mean to say Democrat Party. I can’t figure out any other reason for people to refer to Democrats as Democratics.
They took advantage of the housing challenged.
The American welfare state is at least 80% fraudulent in some form or another.
Amen.
A lot of them are trust fund kids.

Alexander Soofer, above, and wife Ashley Afraimian, ran a phony homeless charity n/p that allegedly cheated California taxpayers out of $23 million tax dollars.
They lived in a $7 million dollar mansion — neighbor’s dished on the couple’s lavish lifestyle. The two allegedly blew $40,000 just on landscaping at their Westwood estate bought with fraudulently obtained tax dollars meant to help Los Angeles’ homeless.
I’m sorry, but we are going to have to start hanging thieves.
There are just too many of them.

Some of them object to being called Democrats. They think it is perjorative.
Looks more like Alexander Poofer...
Thus one of their official websites is democrats.org
Some is not all.
“””Looks more like Alexander Poofer...”””
He looks like a fag, Jim.
No Poofers!
"Authorities seized a $125,000 black Range Rover—a luxury SUV—linked to the fraud scheme, which was towed from his $7 million Westwood mansion during the federal raid."
Meanwhile, despite what Kare Bass says homelessness continues to increase in Los Angeles, no thanks to fraudsters disappearing government funds:
"The homeless population in L.A. County rose by 65% between 2020 and 2022, exceeding 75,000 in 2023—more than the total population of 15 California counties....Despite some improvements, homelessness remains at crisis levels, with over 72,000 people counted in 2024—still 22.7% higher than in 2019."
The lazy, entitled trust fund babies get social and legacy admits to our best schools but many don't have brains and work ethic to succeed at that level
So they gravitate to the same DEI and identity politics that the DEI admits gravitate towards and for the same reasons
Getting an easy, undeserved A in the DEI programs dominated has more to do with strict conformance to the prevailing DEI ideology or cause de jure , slavish agreement with the instructor and fanatical devotion to activism to advance the cause
When they get there, the trust fund babies find that their wealth, connections and social status allows them to become big wheels in the progressive DEI political - industrial machine and helping their DEI allies get strategic positions in us companies ( often owned or managed by their families ) or other universities to spread and impose the woke mind virus after graduation
When the parents pass away and the trust fund babies get control of the family fortune they use their wealth and influence to push progressive causes
Lauren Powell, Steve Jobs widow, is the poster child for this dynamic
It's been a major factor in the infiltration of these profoundly destructive termites into the structure of American society
However much liberal graft occurring in Minnesota will be bush league compared to California.
Million dollar mansion without a garage??????
