Inside the "Shangri-La" homeless scam.Far too long to post her here in full, follow the link. Here's a short snippet: ...In October, federal agents arrested Cody Holmes, the 31-year-old former CFO of Shangri-La Industries, a downtown Los Angeles-based developer who was supposed to be providing housing for homeless people in Southern California. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli for the Central District of California, a Trump appointee, charged him with mail fraud.
[b]Holmes, who pleaded not guilty, is accused of embezzling more than $2 million in taxpayer funds slated for homeless housing construction to host extravagant parties; a $46,000-per-month Beverly Hills mansion; private jet travel; leases of exotic cars; high-end handbags totaling $128,000; a $35,000 diamond watch; and 20 VIP passes for the 2023 Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
Meanwhile, Shangri-La Industries executives showered Newsom and Los Angeles County Democrats with political donations as they were applying for some $100 million in state contracts that the CFO later allegedly looted to fund his and his ex-girlfriend’s lavish lifestyle.
Even after federal prosecutors exposed the massive fraud, Newsom and L.A. Democrats haven’t severed ties with the embattled developer and have kept political donations from the firm’s executives. Newsom has also allowed the construction firm to continue to tout his endorsement on its social media....
Holmes allegedly defrauded the California Department of Housing and Community Development by submitting fabricated bank accounts in its applications for state contracts to build homeless housing. Acting on behalf of Shangri-La, Holmes allegedly falsified $160 million in assets controlled by Shangri-La and its affiliates to demonstrate that the firm had liquid funds to contribute to the construction projects, according to court documents....

Nick Shirley need money to hire private security. Some people, it seems, don't like him. How much would you like to bet they're Democrats?

Spencer Pratt reveals he knows homeless NGO executives are making over $1 million dollars per year
“Homeless "nonprofit" execs are raking in over $1 million a year on the homeless problem — guarantees the problem is never solved”
“There's no excuse for anyone to get over $1 million to increase homelessness — Drive around LA. There is more homelessness than ever”
6 people are dying a day on the streets of Los Angeles
I looked up some more of the highest paid homeless executives
- Dr. Blayne Cutler, Heluna Health (Public Health Foundation Enterprises makes $680,000
- Darrell Evora, Pacific Clinics makes $635,035
- Stephanie Klasky-Gamer, LA Family Housing Corporation makes $331,195
The homeless problem will NEVER be solved as long as all these people are getting filthy rich
No one getting paid $26,153.85 every 2 weeks to solve the homeless problem is going to solve the homeless problem Onward and upward, airforce

California just voted to pass AB 2624 aka “The Stop Nick Shirley Act”:
This bill puts journalists at civil risk for investigating fraud and makes it harder to expose fraud in “immigration support services,” including NGOs, nonprofits and health care facilities that receive hundreds of millions from the state of California each year.
This bill would have made it criminal to expose fake hospices in LA or the Somali “learing center” in Minnesota if they then claim “reasonable fear” and the business owner gives a written demand not to post the video.
Plain and simple, California is trying to make it harder to expose fraud and scare individuals from investigating fraud in their communities, as they could be sued for an injunction to remove the video + forced to pay their attorney fees + minimum $4,000 in damages.
The Attorney General's wife, Mia Bonta, created this bill and is now trying to make it law. How is this not a conflict of interest?
California is full of FRAUDSTERS! Onward and upward, airforce
