Silence: The Impending
Threat to the Charitable Sector is a
high-stake and explosive investigative work about charity misdeeds. As you read
this, there is a noteworthy charity fraud being perpetrated.
Scandals threaten to destroy the reputation of the charitable sector. These scandals threaten to destroy the reputation of powerful organizations and their leaders.
Charity malfeasance is an addiction of epic proportions. Charity leaders and regulators, by their silence and denial, are enablers.
Because the misdeeds are kept secret, there was no public outcry. The secrets are now being exposed. The sector needs a new paradigm, and Silence makes hundreds of suggestions as to how to turn it around.
This exposé is based on the largest repository of charity fraud anywhere. Many trusted leaders are exposed including board members, presidents, superintendents, chief executive officers, accountants— and more. They embezzled, forged, extorted, and falsified records; they self-dealt, negligently managed assets, and had multiple conflicts of interest.

This is very timely for me. I have worked at 6 non-profits over the last 9 years. Of those, 5 were committing fraud. One CEO is in jail, one is still operating, the last and most recent one is still de-frauding the Feds and the foundations. As the financial controller I was fired for not being comfortable with illegal and fraudulent activities.... I would love to give you my stories...
