Fraud in cancer research is sadly prevalent. France cancer fraud trial begins (1999) [0] (the head of the charity was found guilty, imprisoned, and fined) [0] http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/352075.stm
I would extend it to fraud in charities in general. Trusting a third party (unknown to you) to handle your money responsibly is not a smart move.

“ Today a hope of many years' standing is in large part fulfilled. The civilization of the past hundred years, with its startling industrial changes, has tended more and more to make life insecure. Young people have come to wonder what would be their lot when they came to old age. The man with a job has wondered how long the job would last.

Again some Israeli connection in a scam, search google and browse "fintelegram" you will see the biggest and baddest financial crime actors are all based in israel.
Do you know how many scammers are from India? Do you know how many scammers are from the US? Jeffery Epstein was from the US, is every US citizen now a pedophile?
How the country origin is related to them being scammers? They're scammers because they're shitty people, it's not related where they're from.

Hmmm. But who can audit the reporting? Evidently, this looks like something they can manipulate. Is the bottom line roughly: Money received: 1000 Money used for good: 800 Labor: 200 Is that it? Because I can assure you, that will not turn out well.
The same people that audit your taxes, roughly with the same consequences for lying. Except the IRS is far more likely to send unannounced auditors to NGOs than they are to send them to for-profit companies or individuals.
