Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass is in the middle of a massive money laundering operation

- A racial justice nonprofit is getting $875,000 PER UNIT from taxpayers to build 3 skyscrapers
- The CEO of this nonprofit has close ties to Karen Bass
- Karen Bass put this nonprofit’s CEO on the LA County Affordable Housing Solutions Board
- So he’s now approving the money and getting the money

Here’s the full breakdown:

The Weingart Center is a Skid Row nonprofit that claims to advance “racial, social, and economic justice” by helping the homeless. They manage multiple properties

The CEO is Kevin Murray and he makes $400,000 per year

In 2024, LA Mayor Karen Bass appointed Kevin Murray to the LA County Affordable Housing Solutions Board. The board that oversees homeless funding

So the nonprofit that gets the money is now deciding who gets the money and how much (Huge conflict of interest)

Next, Mayor Karen Bass appointed Ben Rosen, Director of Real Estate Development, to the same board at Kevin Murray’s request

(So now the homeless nonprofit CEO is telling mayor Karen Bass who else to appoint to be in charge of giving our homeless money, and she’s doing it)

Weingart raked in $100 million in just one year (It pays to be close with Karen Bass)

A big chunk of that money comes from California’s Homekey Initiative:

California has dumped nearly $4 billion into Homekey Initiative but:

- 71% of properties vacant
- Multiple fraud cases
- One developer charged $2M on his personal Amex for things like Coachella tickets

But instead of shutting it down, they expanded it with Homekey Plus.

Naturally the nonprofit friend of Karen Bass The Weingart Center wants some of that new money

Weingart wanted $37 million to turn a 122-room hotel into permanent housing.
They’d pocket $2+ million in developer fees and got a sweet deal with ongoing subsidies

Here’s where some fraud comes in

The property was valued at just $10M - 21M, not the $30M they wanted. They wanted to pocket $10 million dollars of taxpayer money

Luckily public backlash killed the deal, but that’s not where it ends

The Weingart Center tried to convert a Cheviot Hills nursing home using $26 million in Homekey funds.

Mayor Bass helped personally recommend it.

The developer? Stephen Taylor who’s now facing 9 felony charges for altering bank statements and lying to lenders while trying to flip the property for double the price.
Weingart signed the deal with a confidentiality clause.

The Weingart Center has repeatedly failed federal audit requirements… yet even after still, they still got a $9 million no-bid contract from Mayor Karen Bass (She’s clearly involved in the fraud)

Now The Weingart Center is likely getting $865,000 per apartment unit to build 3 skyscrapers, all paid for by taxpayers

Facilitated by Karen Bass

The money laundering never ends, LA has been doing this a lot lately, here’s a few more

- Restoration apartments: Bought in 2020 via Homekey for $5.3 million to create 80 units of recovery housing for the homeless. 6 years later it’s completely abandoned

- Shangri-La Industries got 26 million in Homekey grants, he bought luxury items, cars and trips

- In South LA a shelter operator with a $2.3 million city contract claimed 88 beds in court filings. A spot check revealed only 44 actual beds, the rest were empty platforms

The fraud in California never stops

Spencer Pratt does care about California, Something Karen Bass Does not!

[Willie Nelson @WillieNelsonTV]

Spencer Pratt came across like someone who actually walks the streets of LA and knows exactly what the city has become. Nithya Raman looked incredibly disconnected and out of touch with where the city is right now. Bass is a bad leader, but next to Raman literally anyone would look good. She completely botched that debate.

!!!! This is the single best piece of political persuasion ever made about California.

AMERICA LOVES SPENCER PRATT!

@MattMorseTV No more fed income tax would be a game changer, and Bissent alluded to it the other day.

Really hard to argue for it once that horse is out of the gate.

@AwakenedOutlaw Cuban leadership will exit silently and probably without any military moves on our part.

No cards left to play (personally would be shitting bricks after watching Venezuela and Iran).
