What was it that George W. Bush said about being fooled? 😉

But even if you do buy their spin, it’s completely unacceptable that they haven’t fired multiple senior people. These kinds of irregularities – even the ones they’ve admitted to – are not the sort of thing that can be resolved with an “oops, sorry, we’ll do better in future”.

Only a fool would buy the spin. I once was among them but no longer. In this world you just cannot simply believe what anyone says when they are asking for Mammon for charity without being able to clearly and transparently see where it is actually going. Charity has never been money and it never will. It is actually helping people in need, not throwing bucks at people like this who lie for per$onal gain by telling you what you really want to hear.

Christians are Easy Marks.

“Four-One-Nine just a game —
You be the Mugu,
I Be the Masta!”
— “I Go Chop You Dolla”, Nigerian pop song about a con man

* Four-One-Nine = a swindle/con game
* Mugu = Fool, in the sense of an Easy Mark
* Chop You Dolla = Make your money disappear; literally “eat your money”

And so people give them another chance, and then forget about the problem, and business continues as usual. No, they’re probably not diverting as much money right now, because they’re facing more scrutiny, but there has been no systemic change. Even if you buy GFA’s spin on it, these sorts of problems are the kinds of things that should cause multiple senior people to lose their jobs for negligence, and that has not happened.
