Anybody remember this from not long back:

U.S. Navy Veterans Association: Under the radar

Is the U.S. Navy Veterans a helpful charity or an illusion? Try finding the leaders and following the money. -->-->-->

I have a post up about it with more here.

Well it's hit the news again.

New Mexico to nonprofit Navy Veterans charity with fake addresses: Cease and desist

IRS documents list Howard Bonifacio as head of the New Mexico chapter of the U.S. Navy Veterans Association. The home address listed for him, 388 Boutz Road in Las Cruces, is fictitious and an empty field, the Attorney General’s Office found.
New Mexico has ordered the U.S. Navy Veterans Association to cease and desist all operations there, having found that the addresses listed for two of its state chapter officers do not exist.

Nor could the office of New Mexico Attorney General Gary King find a trace of either man.

Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth Korsmo wrote to the group on April 1: "Since the addresses you provided are fictional, unless you are able to provide me with a showing of legitimate activity by this organization holding itself out as having a charitable purpose in New Mexico, you are on notice that you are not lawfully registered according to the (state's) Charitable Solicitations Act … and may be in violation of a number of substantive provisions of the Act as well.

"Unregistered organizations are prohibited from soliciting or operating in our state.'' -->-->-->

Last I knew there are actually Laws against this kind of issue, and a number of them, yet these and many other law breaking incident keep coming up and there's no damn perp walks, especially if connected politically as this one is suspected to be as a slush fund for political donations!!

Florida officials look into Navy Veterans Association charity

Florida consumer services officials confirmed Wednesday that they are investigating the state chapter of the United States Navy Veterans Association, a charity whose registered officers aren't where they say they are. "We opened an investigation earlier this month largely based on your reporting on this organization," Terence McElroy, a spokesman for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Charles Bronson, told the St. Petersburg Times. "We will begin by going through their paperwork, looking at their financials and paying a visit to one or more of their principals. And we'll see where it takes us.''

Snip

McElroy said that if consumer services officials find fraud or deception involving the Navy Veterans' Florida chapter, the matter could be referred for a criminal investigation. -->-->-->
