Child Obesity Charity A Massive Scam By A Man Charged With Child Pornography

Jared Fogle, earlier the spokesman for Subway restaurants, is threatened with five years imprisonment for child pornography charges and having paid sex with minors. And just now, his wife has filed for divorce, according to usatoday.

Hence, the Jared Foundation, which was started in 2008 as a childhood obesity non-profit, so that he could distribute $2 million to schools and community organizations to fight obesity, turns out to be a hoax. Records show that this foundation has not issued a single grant since 2008.

The organisation spent just $73,000 every year on average, between 2009 and 2013. The tax records reveal that 60 percent of the "expenses" went to enhance the executive director's salary, even as 26 percent is not even accounted for.

There is more to come. The non-profit has not even given its $5 annual registration fee since it started. It simply ignored delinquency notices and got dissolved by the Indiana Secretary of State on 2012.

Yet, the IRS still recognizes it. Some investigation would show Fogle having undertaken tax evasion or fraud charges.

"If Jared was really interested in helping children through his foundation, he could have gotten more money. As with a lot of celebrities, the charity appears to be more about image-enhancement than charitable deeds," said Daniel Borochoff, president of CharityWatch, which analyzes and rates charities,according to inquisitor.

Amzingly, the anti-obesity foundation's executive director, Russell Taylor, who had been caught for child porn charges two months before Fogle, had admitted to similar crimes. Meanwhile, his website is down, even as Subway cuts off its ties with him.
