Kars4Kids，原來是一個猶太詐騙集團！

估計美國華人都在電視或者廣播中，聽到過這首家喻戶曉的廣告歌：

1-877-Kars4Kids

K-A-R-S Kars for Kids

1-877-Kars4Kids

Donate your car today

這家猶太人經營的“非盈利”慈善機構，打著資助貧困地區兒童的旗號，把生意做得風生水起，可謂日進鬥金。

不過，燜蹄來了：無數有愛心的美國人把自己的車無償捐獻後，這家“非盈利慈善”機構真得把錢用於資助貧困地區兒童了嗎？

答案是：HELL NO ！ 

啥也不說了，看最近的 breaking 牛死：

The twangy jingle produced by Kars4Kids will no longer be broadcast in California, at least in its current form, after a state judge determined last week the charity's ads amounted to false advertising.

The infamously catchy tune – “1-877-Kars4Kids/K-A-R-S Kars for Kids/1-877-Kars4Kids/Donate your car today” – has been on airwaves for nearly two decades. During that time, Kars4Kids has faced litigation and state government investigations for its misleading fundraising practices.

Bruce Puterbaugh brought suit against the charity in 2021, after he parted ways with a nonfunctional 2001 Volvo XC valued at $250.

He donated to the charity, believing it worked in service of “underprivileged kids from all over the US”, according to documents from the Orange county superior court.

Puterbaugh would later learn Kars4Kids is used to fund Oorah, a Jewish non-profit. That organization runs summer camps in the tri-state area and organizes gap year trips to Israel for 17- and 18-year-olds. Oorah also used $16.5m funneled from Kars4Kids to buy a building in Israel as it expands its presence there.

“I feel taken advantage of by the ad and information that was not there,” he said in court testimony.

Esti Landau, the organization's chief operating officer, testified that the well-known ad does not mention the Jewish community. Kars4Kids funnels about $45m annually to Oorah. Of the 120,000 cars donated nationwide, approximately 30,000 originated in California, per court documents. It's unclear over what time period those cars were donated.

Kars4Kids was ordered to pay $250 in restitution to the plaintiff and given a deadline of 30 days to “cease all non-compliant broadcasting in California”.

“Money cannot ‘un-donate’ a car or restore the donor's belief that they were helping a local, needy child,” the court wrote in its ruling. “When a charity generates millions annually through a ‘jingle’ that conceals its primary religious and geographic focus, it creates an unfair playing field for local California charities that are honest about their missions.”

Any future ads in the state must disclose its religious affiliation and geographic location. They also cannot include images of prepubescent children, given that several of Oorah's programs support young adults.

給懶得讀英文的吃瓜群眾總結一下：

Kars4Kids，這家猶太人經營的“非盈利”慈善機構，打著資助貧困地區兒童的旗號，根本就沒有把錢用在貧困地區兒童身上，而是用在根本不缺錢的猶太人的宗教社團，猶太社區青少年的免費夏令營，組織美國猶太社團去以色列免費旅行觀光，甚至在以色列購買地產。

而Kars4Kids的CEO，猶太人Eliyohu Mintz，每年的年薪超過18萬。

從 Bernie Madoff，到 Sam Bankman-Fried，到 Alex Mashinsky，到 Kars4Kids，在美國這個文明法製的西方現代社會，為何猶太詐騙集團如此猖獗，如此屢禁不止，如此泛濫成災 ？！
