Richard Zeitlin’s fraudulent scheme, active from 2017-2020, deceived donors into believing they were contributing to charities, with up to 90% of proceeds funneled to his companies.
In a plea agreement, Zeitlin admitted to using misleading information during solicits, claiming funds were for veterans and cancer patients, while the majority enriched himself.
Zeitlin not only misled donors but also advised others to capitalize on political action committees to evade charity regulations, profiting massively from this deception.
The indictment reveals that Zeitlin's tactics involved scripting calls to portray a benevolent image, diverting donor funds away from the intended causes.
