Listen now
Description
Musicians can be Fraudsters too! In this episode, we focus on Haitian-American Wyclef Jean of the Fugees and dive into his many frauds… many many… many many…. you get it. We start off with how the band came to be and the significance of their success, before the trio’s inevitable downfall. But most importantly, we talk the twists and turns of Wyclef’s Yele Foundation/scam. It’s a tale as old as time– you see your country crumbling, you create an NGO, you spend $400,000 of $1.2 million dollars on Haiti, you make empty promises to build schools, hospitals, and homes, you use $50k to fly celebrities to look at Haiti, you get caught for misusing funds, and then you run for president of the country you don’t live in. It could happen to anyone really!!!! Listen now for all the juicy details!
