==============================================
Can the Joyce Foundation produce records on how they spent tax-exempt money? Oh, nevermind. The IRS, SEC, FBI, Congressman Issa and the GAO can find out (/snix).
=================================================
REFERENCE: the IRS has targeted "foundations" as the locus classic for money laundering and tax evasion. The biggest foundation fraud is one tax-exempt writing checks to another tax-exempt---the way these crooks siphon off tax-free money for themselves......... and perhaps for politicans like Obaba.
Common tax-exempt insider transactions involve:
(1) loans, the (2) sale, (3) exchange or (4) leasing of property to non-profit officers and others;
Falsified reporting of "excess benefit transactions" and executive pay on the official Form 990.
And infamous tax-exempt scheme siphoned off mmillions through fraudulent accounting entries for “administrative fees” and for “maintenance fees” that were paid to phantom recipients, then illegally converted, and laundered.
==============================================
L/E should scrutinize this foundation, and might consider:
(a) conspiracy to defraud the IRS, and evade US banking laws,
(b) international money laundering,
(c) conspiracy to commit money laundering, and,
(d) aiding and abetting the preparation of false federal/state income tax returns.
Authorities might examine the tax-exempt's receipts to falsely verify bogus charitable contributions (kickbacks) and multiple conspiracies and transfers of funds as part of a money-laundering conspiracy.
Audits might show off-the-books bank accounts that were accessed solely by insiders, and that tax-exempt funds were used in various illegal schemes that might have integrated:
(1) money laundering,
(2) tax evasion (stolen money is taxable),
(3) violations of US banking and currency laws,
(4) conspiracy to commit wire fraud,
(5) commercial bribery in various financial schemes,
(6) establishing secret offshore bank accounts outside the purview of the IRS and US banking laws,
(7) fraudulent and casual accounting practices,
(8) non-existent financial oversight,
(9) having a hidden financial interest in companies doing business with SPLC,
(10) putting phantom employees on the payroll (money laundering).
Graver violations, in connection with fraudulent uses of tax-exempt monies for personal and political purposes that might include: felony charges for first-degree tampering with public records, first-degree offering a false instrument for filing, fourth-degree grand larceny, first-degree falsifying of business records, defrauding the government, and colluding with publicly-funded agencies to conduct illegal activities by engaging in the facilitation of illegal conversions and currency frauds.

Obama’s involvement in Chicago Climate Exchange—the rest of the story
By Judi McLeod, March 25, 2009, Canadian Free Press
“Obama Years Ago Helped Fund Carbon Program He Is Now Pushing Through Congress” is a FOXNews story by Ed Barnes.
In short, “While on the board of a Chicago-based charity, Barack Obama helped fund a carbon trading exchange that will likely play a critical role in the cap-and-trade carbon reduction program he is now trying to push through Congress as president.”
The charity was the Joyce Foundation on whose board of directors Obama served and which gave nearly $1.1 million in two separate grants that were “instrumental in developing and launching the privately-owned Chicago Climate Exchange, which now calls itself “North America’s only cap and trade system for all six greenhouse gases, with global affiliates and projects worldwide.”
And that’s only the beginning of this tawdry tale, Mr. Barnes. The “privately-owned” Chicago Climate Exchange is heavily influenced by Obama cohorts Al Gore and Maurice Strong. For years now Strong and Gore have been cashing in on that lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.
Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as “the world’s first and North America’s only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil.”
Gore, self-proclaimed Patron Saint of the Environment, buys his carbon off-sets from himself—the Generation Investment Management LLP, “an independent, private, owner-managed partnership established in 2004 with offices in London and Washington, D.C., of which he is both chairman and founding partner. The Generation Investment Management business has considerable influence over the major carbon credit trading firms that currently exist, including the Chicago Climate Exchange.
Strong, the silent partner, is a man whose name often draws a blank on the Washington cocktail circuit. Even though a former Secretary General of the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (the much hyped Rio Earth Summit) and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations in the days of an Oil-for-Food beleaguered Kofi Annan, the Canadian born Strong is little known in the United States.
That’s because he spends most of his time in China where he has been working to make the communist country the world’s next superpower. The nondescript Strong, nonetheless is the big cheese in the underworld of climate change and is one of the main architects of the failing Kyoto Protocol.--SNIP--long read
