Folks,
This is pretty serious.
During 2017 & 2018, I went thru about 1,100 Canadian tax returns going back 15 years. I showed how our charitable system can be gamed and I exposed one guy, @BlakeBromley, who says he created 650 charities. I found 130 of them. And ...

... and I found a group of charities that reported $1.1 BILLION in total revenue. About $600 million was tax-receipted.
Here’s the thing: Of the $1.1 BILLION, only 10% was spent on actual charity. The rest was just road-tripped around in what looks to me like a big shell game.

... I testified about this on May 7, 2019. Here’s the transcript:

And now what?
Poof! GONE.
Public access to 15 yrs worth of tax returns is GONE.
CRA has disappeared the tax returns.

Here’s my detailed analysis upon which this part of my HOC testimony (May 7, 2019) is based: fairquestions.typepad.com/files/75-blake…
By restricting public access to only 5 yrs of charity tax returns, CRA has made it impossible to do this type of analysis and detect the type of scam that I did.

To see what I am referring to, go to the on-line database of the Charities Directorate at the CRA: apps.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/hacc/srch…
Before, charity tax returns were available going back to 2000. Now, only the most recent 5 yrs are available.
I was worried this would happen. Still, WOW.

Here’s my open letter to @blakebromley, I asked about the monkey business at Chimp Foundation (@wearechimp): fairquestions.typepad.com/rethink_campai…
That letter was written BEFORE Chimp’s 2018 tax return became publicly available.
And in 2018, boy oh boy did Chimp ever out-do itself!

Chimp Foundation now claims, “the Chimp community has DONATED more than HALF A BILLION DOLLARS...”

As per its 2018 tax return, Chimp donated $130 million to nearly 3,000 charities: apps.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/hacc/srch…
But get this... 72% of the $130M went to merely 2 of the 3,000 charities funded by Chimp, Fortius & Vanchorverve.
What’ll they do with the money? That’s a fair question.
