A charity headed by star Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. is filing an amended 2007 report to the Internal Revenue Service because $11,000 it paid to foundation officers as compensation was mischaracterized as being for research grants.
Questions about Inkwell Foundation emerged over the weekend, part of a tsunami of attention Gates has received since July 16, when he was arrested at his home by a police officer responding to a report about a possible burglary in progress. The incident ignited a national debate over racial profiling, further magnified when President Obama jumped into it.

One set of rules for me and quite a different set of rules for thee.
Oh, I forgot my place. Sorry, Massa, I’ll be good. I promise. Just don’t beat me no more.

Audit as far back as the statute of limitations allows.
Every freakin line.

start looking for IRS audits of visible conservatives.
Or maybe polonium cocktails, if Ezekiel Emanuel gets the assignments.

If a Harvard professor can’t get his tax returns right, isn’t that proof that the tax laws are ridiculously complex?

and now the officers of Inkwell will have to revise their IRS filings .. and the best goes on.

This Inkwell Charity must fall under the 501-C3 sub-classification of
Phony Charity to Benefit Friends.
I wonder what "charity" Bill Ayers and the Reverend Wright are into.

There's another thread about questions over taxes for the house he supposedly rents from Harvard. The property is listed as tax-exempt.

Sounds like Gates isn’t just a bigmouth racist, it appears he’s a crook too.

Near the bottom of the original article:
Gates volunteered that the foundation's second-largest grant, for $6,000, went to his fiancée, Angela DeLeon, who was also on Inkwell's board from 2005 to 2006. Gates said he recused himself from the vote on DeLeon's grant, which was for a project translating documents from Spanish and Dutch about the slave trade to Mexico.
You couldn't make this stuff up. Scam city.

Name transposition on Par. 4. Gates is on the board of directors of the Inkwell Foundation, no ProPublica.

The racist professor has a lot to hide! Probably he could be charged for fraud etc.
