Wyclef Jean was recently in the hot seat for supposedly using the donations claiming to support Hatian Relief through his Wyclef Jean Foundation, which works with Yele Haiti Foundation and using the funds to support himself and his record company. The foundation has already reported it expects to raise $1,000,000 [yes, that's 1 million] a day. He came out, and denied these reports, however many are still questioning...
TheSmokingGun put out copies of Wyclef Jean's Foundation's earnings, stating that majority of the money the charity received, in fact went to paying him. In times like these, where people come together to help and send their personal finances to various organizations believing that it will be used as intended, it is no wonder the concern of fraud are out there. There have been numerous reports of false organizations, claims of companies giving discounts on behalf of Haiti, etc. Please people, research the companies you decide to donate to.
