Rants and Rave: My Twitter Comments on the Yele Haiti and Wyclef Acquisitions

Here are my tweets from roughly 3 hours ago

I weighed in on the @wyclef story on @therealourbloc earlier.
There were many discrepancies in the main stories that are circulating.

Folks the pundits in the case are "outside groups" that have supposedly audited tax information from @wyclef 's Yele Haiti organization, but they have raised quite a few red flags themselves.

If you look at the main story circulating, the organization stated that $411,000 was spent against $79K of revenues brought in by @wyclef 's foundation. Question 1+1=2 but how does $79K = $411K? I'll tell u It doesn't and that was from 2006.

Secondly you notice how @wyclef raised over $1.9M in 2008 but there were no issues raised against those revenues.

Next they stated that his music business was tied to @wyclef 's charity ummm they are one in the same and generally most charities are self financed, so if $79K = $411k wouldn't that mean that @wyclef would have to make up the shortfall i.e. performing for free, but assessing a value?

See before we can say that @wyclef has done anything wrong, first you must analyze the messenger and in this case the messenger is i mean are organizations who require fee based relationships in order to carry there emblem even though they themselves are "nonprofit".

Secondly, how many of these pundits are actually feet down in Haiti? let me answer that none but @wyclef is over there

Third...media spin cycles..how is it the media embraced Yele I mean @wyclef has been on 60 min several times, has been praised by gov'ts for his endeavors even though these public records existed no one has "raised" a question, but now since @wyclef raised $2M and counting ppl are so-called saying that @wyclef and Yele can't help, but again who's there? @wyclef is not the BBB not these other orgs.

Unfortunately the U.S. media earns profit by keeping you interested i.e. gossip and rumors unfortunately often times slander is at the root cause of these claims. When reading the redderick always use common sense. That was the first thing that stood out to me after reading the many articles. I think I may write my old college professor and ask how $411,000 worth of expense can be squeezed out of $79,000 of revenue without someone i.e. @wyclef kicking in an additional $332K in value to make that happen? Educate before you judge..support Yele

Text Yele to 501 501 and donate $5 to the Earthquake Relief Fund.
