One of the main things I read about Foundations is that they are formed for Charitable purposes. The fact that the Anthonys are trying to establish a Foundation is suspect in itself. Foundations still have some tax liabilities, but obviously not as much as personal income taxes. I believe this is being set up by the A's attorneys to funnel money and proceeds from the current wheeling and dealing . Gee, I wonder who the Directors of the Foundation will be? I wonder who will pull a salary from the foundation? I found a couple of interesting reads on Foundations and Charitable Trusts.

KidFinders Network Dennis and Sherri Milstead are founders of KidFinders Network, a 501c3 charitable organization. They received their advanced ruling 501c3 certification from the IRS in 2006. On September 12 Ms. Milstead was copied on an email that had been originally sent to Lee Anthony, and she was copied on his reply to the potential donor without the donor’s permission. Lee Anthony directed the prospective donor to the various ways of donating to the trust, but instructed prospective donor to consider donating to KFN, as they continued to be so supportive of the Anthony family. Ms. Milstead proceeded to email the prospective donor, unsolicited, the 3 ways she could donate, which included her direction that the prospective donor could use the KFN PayPal account located on their site for BOTH KFN, and HFCMT. Notably, this occurred after the trust had been closed by the bank. As the prospective donor is a former banking executive within Sun Trust, the prospective donor became concerned and our investigation into KFN ensued. Mr. and Mrs. Milstead have an approximate combined outstanding fraud judgments for nearly $500,000. Mr. Milstead has a criminal record which includes a felony conviction 2002, probation violation and subsequent guilty plea in 2002, for IMPERSONATING A POLICE OFFICER. The researchers found that particularly disturbing as a “pseudo badge” is on the logo on the KFN home page, http://www.kidfindersnetwork.com/. Additionally, Mr. and Mrs. Milstead are the direct owners of several for-profit businesses, some they claim as sponsors on their website that are directly contracted by the KFN. Furthermore, there are sponsors that are listed on their website that are for-profit business owned wholly or in part by themselves and or family members. Further research shows that Mrs. Milstead may use different middle initials or possibly different combinations of her given name in other business endeavors. It has been reported that KFN is working closely with the Never Lose Hope Foundation at several recent charitable events. Never Lose Hope Foundation The Never lose Hope Foundation, applied for a 501c3 status from the IRS on April 26, 2007 and there has been no update to the status of that application directly to NLHF. NLHF has stated they have a fiscal sponsorship by a certified 501c3, City 4 Links Charities in July 2008. However, C4LC 501c3 status was revoked on April 23, 2007 by the IRS. There was a name change from C4L to Child & Family Charity, Inc. whose 501c3 status was also revoked, and on June 26th, 2008 C&FCI, was changed by the same founder of all to HelpNet USA. As this is simply a name change, it would still maintain the same revoked status. On July 18, 2008 they openly solicited their services to the Kesse family, via the MySpace page set up by the family mentioning their 501c3 status thru C4LC, again without a standing 501c3 designation. According to public records, the NLHF has operated as a 501c3 charity without fiscal sponsorship since 2007 at a minimum. Following an ad placed on americanlawyer.com requesting an “aged 501c3 charity” to sponsor an organization placed by Lawrence Spiegel of SPIEGEL & UTRERA, P.A. NLHF has updated it’s “event” filing records as to reflect S&U as the agent of record effective 9/15/08. It is the consensus opinion that it was no accident that was in place 1 business day following the closing of the HFCMAT on September 12, 2008. NLHF made a donation on behalf of the Anthony’s in early September, where conclusively, NLHF was NOT a licensed charity to be able to do so, and would request the donations made by people to this fund be analyzed for such a transaction. I am assuming that paying the legal bills for a criminal defense attorney do not fall under their stated purpose. Secondly in 4 comparison to Paul Kelley’s email response yesterday regarding the Anthony’s “is approached” sounds very similar to the business practices of this organization. It should be noted, that the founders and or board members past and present of NLHF, have among their business interests, 2 telemarketing firms that operate a phone sex line and credit card rate reduction calling program of which there have been numerous complaints from consumers and pending litigation from consumers that feel they have been ripped off. It is the overall team’s recommendation that those business interests should be reviewed against the charitable transactions in question. We will not be providing the data on the specific principals’ business interests as part of this research publicly in an effort to keep the focus on our primary objective. American Media Inc- Possible Ties to ABC’s 20/20 In Jose Baez press release, where a Todd Black references a non-active or non-existent public relations firm, when traced the phone number included matches that of a company called: AIM Productions & Management 118 16th Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203-3100 615-259-1111 Oversight or error on behalf of the elusive Mr. Black? Not sure on that issue, but we are sure about the following... Listed as an employee/principal of AIM Productions, Kevin Adams A search for listing alternative business addresses and employer ties: Kevin Adams Artisan Medical 118 16th Avenue South Nashville, TN 37203-3100 (same address as AIM) 615-259-1111 A search for other employees/businesses at same address yields: Neal Pond VP Country Weekly Magazine 118 16th Avenue South Nashville, TN 615-259-1111 (same address as AIM and Artisan Medical, same phone,) as Artisan Medical Neil Pond, VP of Country Weekly Magazine, and CWM are owned by AMERICAN MEDIA, INC. Among several of their publications, they are the privately held Company that owns The National Enquirer, The Globe and Star Magazine. Mr. Pond has been quoted in a few ABC online articles as a contributor, but no specific link to the 20/20 show. 5 Summary and Request For Investigation It is the sincere hope of this research team that the findings of our report and the subsequent available verification data are reviewed and appropriate action be taken to investigate these matters urgently. We feel strongly that there is potential evidence of the principal parties engaging in the inappropriate use of publicly donated funds. It is also our intention to bring to light any parties not named here, that may have profited from the disappearance and possible death of this innocent Child, Caylee Marie Anthony. What we are hoping to accomplish as a side-effect of such an investigation, is possible proposed legislation concerning the development and regulations of operating a non-profit or charitable trust. It is very concerning to think that so many freely give of their time and wellearned money in our current economy, for unscrupulous and deceptive practices to occur with the proceeds from it. It is our feeling that these practices can seriously restrict people’s willingness to donate to very worthy and reputable charities both financially and by volunteering. There are many reputable organizations whose donations could suffer if this kind of activity is not investigated and if appropriate, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Finally, we would like to remind everyone reading this, that this endeavor was not undertaken as some “whistle blowing” initiative. Our group, consisting of Legal, Journalist, Executive, Banking, and entrepreneurial professionals felt called to action for one reason: Caylee. The very notion that there are people that are willing to profit from this tragedy is a travesty to the legacy of a beautiful child we have all fallen in love with, yet never met. We stand for Caylee....
