That's not the crime committee here. In fact, it's not a crime, period, from what I can find.
Could I ask why you believe there isn't already extreme scrutiny of nonprofits by the IRS and other government entities?
Huffman and Loughlin are charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
Saw it on the news this morning. Less than 1% of non-profits in this country are audited by the IRS. Sure, you are required to "file reports" but as long as you do that, and don't get "unlucky" in the audit draw, you can pretty much do anything you want with a non-profit. I set one up for a school organization one time, and it took me about 10 minutes or work, and filing was literally on a postcard. Now, it's a completely legit organization, so I'm not worried in the least about an audit, but apparently there's very little concern that this would ever happen.
There's VERY little scrutiny of most of these organizations unless and until the organization draws some attention to itself. This particular organization for YEARS filed reports showing that they did nothing in terms of programming (supposedly they were helping underprivileged children), and yet never an audit. And people went on "donating" and then "deducting" those donations from their taxes.
