In addition, there appear to be very high corporate salaries and many opportunities for "bonuses" to the administrators for fundraising, etc. This reminds me of the United Way fraud.
I can understand that they do need money to fund the aid provided for all assistance to the varied needs of victims. Yet, the way they obtain the funds is not above board. Since they do this, I am really suspicious about how the funds are spent. There have been too many instances of victims not receiving aid up to a year after the Red Cross offered assistance.
