re: OLOL Foundation President John Paul Funes terminated amidst criminal allegations

Scott Wester CEO of OLOL hospital doesn't get to send out a Xmas card that has not been reviewed by legal, not being sarcastic.

OLOL is one of the most risk averse organizations I’ve ever seen. While I am surprised that the Foundation systems allowed this to go unchecked for what appears to be a significant amount of time, the systems did catch up. What this is indicative of is the amount of trust that the sisters and Scott Wester has in Funes. There aren’t many people who would have been in a position to pull something like this off in the first place.

Now, having said that, I will also say that the way this likely happened (not the mechanics of it, but the 10,090 foot view) is that OLOL bureaucracy is so cumbersome that it can take a long time for one part to know what is happening in another part. That coupled with the fact that the Foundation is a legally separate organization gives some cover to anyone trying to pull something like this off. And going back to my initial point- they trusted him. So they weren’t expending a lot of energy looking at his activities. He was bringing in a lot of money and was compensated well. Things seemed like they were going well. I’m sure OLOL was much more focused on hospital expenditures, billing, etc. than the Foundation. Looks to be an expensive lesson. And whoever comes after Funes will be subject to invasive scrutiny.

The scheme was only supposed to be a fraction of a cent per transaction

BlackAdam,

If I were looking for reasons for this in a hypothetical, here are some that come to mind:

1. I need to make something that looks like a legit donation out of my company.

2. I want plausible deniability if things go sideways.

3. I don't want my wife to know what I am doing.

4. I want to partially offset the cost of my activity with a charitable deduction on my taxes

Just brainstorming here. What do you think?

I don't know Pete. But I have never seen more threats to shut people up than I have on this board. Seems like the machine has its henchmen out doing clean up.

Lol

It seems like Frick and Frack have done all they can to extend the life of this thread by spreading a wild theory without any substance to it and are now maintaining that others are spreading rumors.

There has been no hard news since the day after the story came out.

I'm guessing that sooner rather than later the DA will act one way or another. Why the BS?

Who is getting angry?

Frick and Frack? I don't think so,

They are enjoying their 15 minutes and probably laughing their butts off.

Wait....so you gave up on the LSU/BR Illuminati conspiracy after someone outed you? You and your little butt buddy were the only ones claiming anything nefarious with LSU

Why run that through the foundation

Simple! The "elites" bribing players also want to be able to write off the bribe as a donation on their taxes. They needed the cooperation of the OLOL Foundation to complete their brilliant scheme. Like Mongo, Funes is just a pawn in the game of life. He is being manipulated by the elites.


ETA: Holy frick! I just read the post after the one I initially responded to. That lunatic is serious about the tax deduction angle. This is just about the absolute zenith of mongoloid reasoning ...

I don't want to risk directly or indirectly bribing a player with my personal funds because my wife might find out. Hmmmm, my brilliant solution is to defraud my own corporation, embezzle from a local non-profit through a pawn, and risk the scrutiny of both law enforcement and the IRS. That makes perfect sense ... If you're an idiot.
