Reply to comment by Positive-Material in PSA: 'Effective Altruism' is a cult targeting high income earning tech nerds. It has all the signs of a cult. The marks don't realize that the non-profits they donate to are run by people who steal the money behind the scenes. by Positive-Material
You do realize that for a 501(c) nonprofit to exist they have to disclose their financials? Go to Charity Navigator, they'll let you know if the breakdown looks like shit or is reasonable. Quit fear mongering over non-profits when it only takes 3 clicks or so to find out anything you'd need to know.

You realize most people in non-profits who get caught with embezzlement are just quietly fired with no criminal charges and no media reporting.. so you just don't know about it.. and most embezzlement is done in a way that nobody will know about it.

You can say the same thing about the private sector dude, you got a source on that claim or are they only fake news when they disagree with you?
Glad to know I've taken up your mental space for the past five days though!

trust me, nobody is embezzling in an Amazon warehouse - not talking about theft of packages though.. I bet people don't even get away with stealing paper clips there..

Oh got me with that one! Really blew my mind pointing out how a warehouse picker can't embezzle funds - really it's a shock seeing as they don't manage any money in a position with high turnover by design.

No I agree yo, I worked for several non-profits. The people on the top were always driving expensive cars and making dick moves, while the rest were impoverished.

Yes. Our CEO was in a yacht floating around on vacation and made a million dollars a year.. and it is a respected non profit in MA helping various vulnerable people groups.. I was noticing shady stuff by my manager, who behind closed doors was speaking very disrepesctfully about the vulnrable people we were supposed to be devoted to helping.. I Googled my manager's name, and it came up that they had an LLC supply house registered to their home address that had the same name as a local supply house and it said they made an estimated $100,000 a year - I put two and two together, and guessed (correctly) that they were writing fake checks to their own business (which said X Supply House Inc DBA My Managers Name) for supplies our company bought for the population we serve, but because the names were the same with a difference of one letter, nobody supposedly noticed.. I guessed that everyone in the office was in on it, with that person just doing the dirty work and being the fall guy if someone found out.. I reported it by email to the controller and CEO, and the CEO did not reply, and the controller forwarded my email to my boss..lol.. then my manager fired me.. so I reported them to the state, and then my manager and coworkers all got fired.. now my manager started a Pet Rescue non profit and is in charge of finding volunteers to build the non profit for them and volunteers to fundraise for them.. of course all the social workers at the bottom in the non profit were like super educated wonderful people living on peanuts..I was leaving my job in the non profit anyway, so I figured I would do a service to America and report the people who were likely (turned out correct) embezzling funds that were supposed to go the vulnerable population we were supposedly helping
