Tampa, Fla., socialite and military hostess Jill Kelley, one of the
women at the center of the ever-expanding scandal that brought down
former CIA Director David Petraeus, founded a questionable charity for
cancer patients with her surgeon husband, Scott Kelley.
Based out of the couple's mansion, the Doctor Kelley Cancer Foundation
claimed on its tax forms that it "shall be operated exclusively to
conduct cancer research and to grant wishes to terminally ill adult
cancer patients."
From the records, it appears that the charity fell far short of its
mission. While the origins of the seed money used to start the charity
in 2007 are unclear, financial records reviewed by The Huffington Post
reveal that the group spent all of its money not on research, but on
parties, entertainment, travel and attorney fees.
By the end of 2007, the charity had gone bankrupt, having conveniently
spent exactly the same amount of money, $157,284, as it started with
-- not a dollar more, according to its 990 financial form. Of that,
$43,317 was billed as "Meals and Entertainment," $38,610 was assigned
to "Travel," another $25,013 was spent on legal fees, and $8,822 went
to "Automotive Expenses."
