Far to many are provided taxpayer funds with little to no oversight, until recently. This is the result. One thing that needs to be done is to end all taxpayer funding of all NGO\u2019s. Let them raise money from private sources. Of course, they will have to provide access to their books so the donors can confirm their donations are going where they believe them to be going and not into the pockets of managers and other employees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Young was one of three defendants charged Wednesday in separate federal cases targeting alleged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/top-federal-prosecutor-calls-california-fraudsters-paradise-warns-state-officials-could-face-charges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fraud and corruption<\/a> involving money intended to house and provide services to homeless Californians. Two were arrested Wednesday, while a third was considered a fugitive.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I did a search using Grok to find out which one of those three was on the run. Apparently it\u2019s Donye Mitchell. Mitchell is the CEO\/executive director of The Big Blue Umbrella. From what I can find out, these may be two separate organizations, or at least were set up this way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>Prosecutors allege Young used shell companies and fraudulent billing practices to divert taxpayer money, spending more than $1 million to open and operate Six Seven Five Lounge, a high-end Inglewood restaurant and nightclub.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>At Wednesday\u2019s news conference, federal officials also accused Young of spending nearly $50,000 on a luxury Tahiti vacation and $140,000 restoring a vintage Chevrolet Impala.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This \u201cEvil Genius\u201d is a complete moron. Granted, under the previous administration, he had a very good chance of getting away with it. Pretty much all oversight was shut shut down by the Biden Maladministration. Then President Trump came back in and the stories about the billions of dollars being stolen by Somali immigrants in Minnesota came out. After that, the auditors were unleashed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>&#8220;The taxpayers did not sign up to fund this nightclub,&#8221; Assistant Attorney General Colin M.

Now it\u2019s in the hands, or soon will be, of a jury. I expect that the fugitive, Mitchell, will be located fairly quickly, unless he had a Whitey Bulger level of preparation. If he did, and he had all of his ill gotten gains squirreled away where the Treasury can\u2019t get at it, he may have fled the country.<\/p>\n<p>Now what should be done to keep this from happening again? I\u2019ve already said that I think that Non-Governmental Organizations should be 100% non-governmental. That means they don\u2019t go sucking around for taxpayer money.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, they should be talking to all the rich liberals who always talk a good game when it comes to \u201cHelping the Homeless,\u201d but won\u2019t spend a penny of their own money.
