THE FIVE REVOKED CHARITIES: COLEL CHABAD LUBAVITCH FOUNDATION OF ISRAEL

Audit Period: Fiscal period of 2008-2009.
Violation: Sold official donation receipts to donors for 10% to 20% of their receipted value.
Receipt Value: Donation receipts have a value of upwards of 50% or more of the donated principle, meaning charities actually create wealth for donors.
Client: Dr. Lorne Wayne Sokol gained notoriety for laundering money obtained by allegedly defrauding the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) through Colel Chabad.
Mechanism: Sokol incorporated a company in Belize, the Moshe Shmuel Deitsch Company, named for Colel Chabad's self-claimed Israeli intermediary, Moshe Deutsch.
Financial Flow: Through the Belizean company, Sokol (and potentially others) was subsequently repaid by Colel Chabad for between 80% to 90% of the principal they had donated.
Profit: Colel Chabad netted 10-20% off the principle, while donors netted tax credit value plus 80-90% recouped principle, resulting in net profit of approximately 130-140%.
Leadership Response: President Abraham Neuwirth pleaded ignorance to the scheme.
Secretary Involvement: Secretary Zalman Zirkind (served 2000 until at least 2015) was involved in a wider international narco-trafficking/money laundering scheme.
Criminal Conviction: In 2021, Zalman Zirkind was sentenced to 84 months' imprisonment by a United States District Court for conspiracy to commit money laundering.

🕍

THE FIVE REVOKED CHARITIES: KUPAS HACHESED MEOROTH (KHM)

Audit Year: 2018.
Audit Period: Fiscal years 2014-2015.
Unverified Donations: CRA was unable to verify the validity of donations totaling over $32 million CDN receipted between 2014-15.
Wire Transfer Investigation: CRA determined that only $100,862 of the tens of millions claimed could be verified as having been sent to Israel between 2014-2016.
Domestic Disbursement: The majority of funds (over $48 million between 2013-2016) were given to individuals residing in Canada and cashed at Canadian bank accounts.
Cheque Pattern: Funds were delivered in hundreds of unique cheques, typically written out to an individual by first initial and last name only.
Banking Irregularity: In numerous instances, cheques made out to multiple addressees were cashed via a shared bank account.
Director: Edward Binet served as director from 2007-2020.
Defense: Binet claimed recipients deposited cheques and then hand-delivered millions in cash to unnamed recipients in Israel who arrived by airplane.
Evidence: KHM had no supporting documentation to suggest cash handovers ever took place.
CRA Conclusion: 'It does not appear that any charitable activity occurred, whether within or outside of Canada' and 'it appears the Organization is simply gifting funds to individuals and conferring an unacceptable private benefit'.
Status: Charitable status appears to have been on hiatus between 2017-2019; no tax returns filed. Operated 2020-2022 with incomplete filings.
Current Status: Edward Binet remains president of multiple active Montreal-based charities including 'Congrégation Beltz', which donated close to $2 million to KHM and Chasdei Levy Yitzcok.

📜

THE FIVE REVOKED CHARITIES: CHASDEI LEVY YITZCOK (CLY)

Location: Montreal-based.
Audit Year: 2018.
Audit Period: Fiscal years 2015-2016.
Violations: Widespread failure in issuing proper donation receipts; failed to carry on its own charitable activity.
Intermediary: Sole Israeli intermediary was Rabbi Israel Levy.
Documentation Failure: CLY could provide no documentation to 'confirm any interaction' between the charity and its Israeli agent(s) or that the agent(s) actually 'performed any work' for the charity.
Cheque Issuance: Issued cheques totaling over $2.7 million CDN to several 'foreign residents' during fiscal year 2016.
Self-Dealing: In certain instances, representatives of CLY were cashing cheques they had written to themselves.
Border Investigation: CRA consulted Canada Border Service Agency and determined none of the foreign residents named as recipients had legally entered Canada within a five-year time span prior to the audit.
Inference: The foreign recipients never received their cheques, let alone cashed them.
CRA Conclusion: In 2016, 'over $2,700,000 of the Organization's charitable resources were converted to cash without any documentary evidence to show that the funds were used in a charitable manner'.

🚪

THE FIVE REVOKED CHARITIES: GATES OF MERCY

Registration Date: Originally registered as a charitable organization in 1991.
Early Activity: Conducted minimal business up to 2007, described as a 'burner charity'.
Activity Increase: In 2008, received total donations of over $5.4 million CDN.
Peak Activity: Between 2009-2011, brought in almost $47 million CDN in donations.
First Audit: 2012 audit for activities conducted between 2008-2010.
Audit Findings: Failed to retain direction and control over use of funds; no means to demonstrate or ensure funds were used for charitable activities; failed to keep 'adequate books and records'; issued 'receipts not in accordance with the [Income Tax] Act'; failed to 'file an information return in prescribed format'.
Resolution: Entered a compliance agreement with the CRA in 2012, signed by director Shmuel Reidel.
Aftermath: Financial activity and total number of donors experienced a marked decrease post-2011.
Donor Migration: Most donors and their donations moved en masse to another Reidel-directed charitable organization, 'The Beth Oloth Charitable Organization'.

🏛️

THE FIVE REVOKED CHARITIES: THE BETH OLOTH CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION

Incorporation Date: 1980.
Early Activity: Largely inactive until 2012, coinciding with Gates of Mercy entering compliance agreement.
Revenue Uptick: In 2012, took in over $9.4 million in revenue.
Revenue Surge: Between 2013-2014, reported over $62 million CDN in received donations.
CRA Audit: 2016 audit of 2011-2014 activities.
Findings: Found non-compliant with Income Tax Act on multiple levels.
Cheque Concerns: CRA concerned that Beth Oloth was depositing cheques made out to Reidel and Gates of Mercy.
Beth Oloth Response: Claimed Reidel no longer held formal association and maintained an 'advisory role' only.
CRA Inference: Cross-writing of cheques suggested an undisclosed relationship or arrangement between the two organizations.
Funds Moved: Between 2012-2014 claimed to have moved over $63 million CDN to thousands of international intermediaries, vast majority in Israel.
Settlement Support: CRA identified multiple instances where self-claimed Israeli intermediaries were actively involved in supplying financial support to illegal settlements and the IDF.
CRA Conclusion: The sheer scope of Beth Oloth's operations were impossible to direct or control.
Revocation: CRA revoked Beth Oloth's charitable status in 2019 (along with Gates of Mercy).

🔍

METHODOLOGY: ACCESS TO INFORMATION REQUESTS

First ATI Request: List of all charitable status revocations due to failed audits for Canadian charities that disclosed moving money to Israel between 2018-2023.
Filtering: Excluded any charity that moved under $500,000 CDN to Israel per year as financially irrelevant to overall flow.
Result: Five former Canadian charities identified: Colel Chabad Lubavitch Foundation of Israel, Kupas Hachesed Meoroth, Chasdei Levy Yitzcok, Gates of Mercy, and The Beth Oloth Charitable Organization.
Second Requests: For each, requested CRA audit findings, names of overseas recipients in Israel, board of directorate information, and financial gifts received from other charities.
Donor Tracking: Created list of all charitable donations from other Canadian charities received by the five revoked charities (plus Ne'eman Canada and JNF Canada) between 2000-2023.
Aggregation: Searched for overlaps between boards of directors and created aggregated entities where linkages existed.
Threshold: Created list of aggregated entities that cumulatively moved at least $1 million CDN to the seven revoked charities within 2000-2023.
Result: 56 aggregated entities responsible for over $393 million CDN in charitable donations flowing from Canada into Israel.

🔎

ANALYSIS: PATTERNS AND IMPLICATIONS

Inter-Charity Donations: When donations move from one charitable organization to another and then into Israel, the origin source of money becomes impossible to discern - money twice 'washed'.
Private Foundations: Most members of the Big Gifters list are private foundations sitting on billions in assets; they are the 'too-big-to-fails' of the Canadian charitable sector.
Public Foundations: Jewish Foundations across Canada engage in local community support while simultaneously bankrolling ethnic cleansing of 'Greater Israel' through donations to JNF Canada.
Source Industries: Wealth originates from cookie-cutter condominium developments (Lebovic Enterprises), urban development corporations (Fieldgate, Ranee, Medallion, Rosdev), high-risk hedge fund investment (Friedberg Mercantile Group), and media empires (Asper Foundation).
Regulatory Failure: The existence of systemic transgressional activity points to a significant degree of corruption within the entire subsector and a federal regulator either unable or uninterested in staunching the flow of illicit, Canadian taxpayer-subsidized cash moving into Israel.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

Consumer Action: Consumers can exercise financial right to invest or withdraw funds as they see fit, though targeting major property holders is daunting.
Legislative Reform: Reform of the Income Tax Act could develop investigative and punishment regimes specifically geared towards those making consistent use of revoked charities.
Current Reality: Revocations do nothing to punish those making use of financial flow-throughs; such entities simply reconstitute themselves under another name and carry on.
Sector Impact: The Canadian charitable sector employs upwards of 10% of the total population and has a profound association - with legal implications - with ongoing Israeli war crimes, billions in assets notwithstanding.

KEY QUOTES

Extricating the Canadian charitable sector from its ongoing complicity with Israeli war crimes is, however, not a 'one and done' affair. - Miles Howe

What emerges is a picture of gangster capitalism, where charities run out of private residences, with no public profile, no website, and no outreach to speak of, handle tens of millions of dollars CDN per year tied to the Canadian Zionist billionaire class. - Miles Howe

The CRA determined that: 'it does not appear that any charitable activity occurred, whether within or outside of Canada' and that 'it appears the Organization is simply gifting funds to individuals and conferring an unacceptable private benefit'. - Canada Revenue Agency on Kupas Hachesed Meoroth

The CRA identified multiple instances where Beth Oloth's self-claimed Israeli intermediaries were actively involved in supplying financial support to the illegal settlements and the IDF. - Miles Howe on Beth Oloth

The existence of such systemic, transgressional, activity within the Canada to Israel charitable pipeline points to a significant degree of corruption within the entire subsector, and a federal regulator either unable or uninterested in staunching the flow. - Miles Howe

When donations move from one charitable organization to another, and then into Israel, it is impossible to discern the origin source of the money itself. It is, in essence, money twice 'washed'. - Miles Howe

These are the 'too-big-to-fails' of the Canadian charitable sector. - Miles Howe on private foundations
