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
WOW 🚨 Delta Dental is considered a nonprofit but the CEO skyrocketed her pay from $4.5 million per year all the way to $48 million over 4 years
That’s $1 million dollars per month pay for one employee as a nonprofit
“Delta Dental is considered a non-profit, and as such you can be their taxes online. So I got curious in their 2014 filing, the IRS requests for the organization's top accomplishments.
Delta Dental reported that over 95% of claims electronic, online and paper were processed without any manual intervention. That means when your care is denied, there is less than 1 in 10 chance a human reviewed it
— That same year, Delta dished out up to a 30% pay cut on the care that doctors deliver, and for a decade, they did not raise what they pay for your dental care by a single penny.
Meanwhile, their CEO's salary skyrocketed. She went from 4.5 to $15 million a year. From 2014 to 2018, she made off with almost $48 million before leaving her position. That's a million dollars a month. Must be nice. And she's not even a clinician. She's a CPA.
You don't have to be an accountant to do the math. Dr. Pay cuts stagnant reimbursements. They were never about saving patients money on premiums.”
Walmart is robbing you
American saw the videos of potatoes not weighing their marked weight
He grabs multiple 5 pound bags of potatoes right off the shelf and puts them on the scale
Each bag is only roughly 3.5 pounds
This is blatantly fraud
META is building 10 gas-fired power plants for its Hyperion AI data center campus in rural Louisiana
They will use as much power as 5 million American homes and pollute the equivalent of 5+ million cars on the road full time per year
These are the same people who tell you not to drive or run your AC because of climate change
@WallStreetApes The 6th St Bridge was a beautiful old iconic bridge. They replaced it with an ugly generic form. The real joke? The bridge leads right into Skid Row
Wow, 40 years! 🎉 From a 15-year-old kid with a neck injury to 4 decades of helping Orange County live pain-free. Thank you to all my patients for an amazing journey. I still love seeing your faces light up after an adjustment! 척 #OrangeCounty#Chiropractor#DrBarryMarks
@JoshiosTweets Who could they have drafted at the 29th position of this quality? Nobody. This should be an instant impact player elevating Rams defense even higher
Allstate auto insurance caught in a lie… this is one tactic they are using to lower settlements… AMA Guides do not tell doctors how to treat or for how long. They are to determine permanent impairment after treatment had concluded and pain or impairment persists. #caraccident
