Nicole Simpson charity scam
Billie
THE NICOLE BROWN SIMPSON Charitable Foundation is a rip-off. That's the sad
assessment of experts who charge the charity is fleecing the public by raising
scads of money to shelter and protect battered women and children -- but hardly
giving any of it away.
For instance, the Foundation, run by the family of O.J. Simpson's murdered
ex-wife, took in about $113,000 in 1998 -- but gave away a paltry $6,500,
according to federal tax filings The ENQUIRER has obtained.
"This is hardly a surprise to me," Susan Forward told The ENQUIRER. She's a
nationally recognized expert on preventing domestic violence and was Nicole's
personal therapist.
"Everyone in the domestic violence community was asking where the money went."
Sheila Halfon, director of Haven House, the nation's oldest domestic violence
center, located in Los Angeles, told The ENQUIRER, "If you take in $113,000 and
give out just $6,500, you're way bad."
Denise Brown, Nicole's 42-year-old sister and the head of the charity, drives a
$100,000 Mercedes, lives in a plush town house and owns two jet skis plus a
Chevy truck, according to California state records.
Her lifestyle has tongues wagging, but Denise insists that her personal income
comes from speaking engagements at $2,000 to $10,000 a pop and are not
Foundation related.
In an interview with The ENQUIRER, Denise claimed the 1998 tax papers are
misleading and don't reflect monies given out by the organizations in January
1999.
"We're being attacked out of jealousy," she told The ENQUIRER. "But the only
reason I'm here is because my sister was murdered. Who can be jealous of that?"
Denise did acknowledge the Foundation had been paying her $2,000 a month, but
added those payments have come to a halt.
"We're a business," added Denise. "We struggle for every cent we make. This
organization was set up in my sister's name. Why on earth would I want to screw
over her memory?"

It a "business" alright, tap in GlobalTrak on your keyboard and you'll see
where some of the money probably went. Looks like Fred Goldman has picked up
some 'dirty baggage', from the looks of his site.
At roughly$79.00 a pop, how much would Denise be able to buy?
Maybe they should use 'GlobalTrak' to trak some of the 'found ation' money?
