Justice indicts ex-NBA player for charity fraud

[Geee]

Washington Examiner:

The Department of Justice is charging a former NBA player with allegedly using his charity to line his own pockets.

 

The indictment, which was unsealed May 25, claims former power forward Kermit Washington used hundreds of thousands of dollars from his charity Project Contact Africa to "buy gifts and pay personal expenses, including rent, vacations, jewelry and entertainment." The Department of Justice is charging he defrauded the IRS, Ebay, Paypal and donors by claiming 100 percent of donations would go to Africa.

 

U.S. Attorney Tammy Dickinson alleged Washington "used his celebrity status to exploit the good intentions of those who donated to a charity he founded." She said he "profited by diverting ... donations that were supposed to benefit a clinic in Africa for needy families and children, but instead bankrolled his own personal spending."

If Washington had 100% of the donations & took them to Africa...does the government still have a case?

"100% of the donations went to Africa" would be purely liberal thinking & could get him off.
