Captain Tom Foundation being investigated

[d000hg]

We actually discussed this months ago, that people were a bit suspicious of the foundation (not as already said, of Tom himself).
I don't know there's suspicion on the family themselves? Is the implication outside people have homed in on them as potential suckers?

You'd have to look closely at the situation but that's a potential outcome, or just complete mismanagement and greed by the inexperienced family members thrown in to the job rather than skilled to do it.

I can certainly see the temptation when you are raising 10s of millions to want a tiny share especially if you were helping out. A real test of your morals when all that cash is flowing past your eyes!

Only charities I give to are the Sally Army and the Dogs Trust both of which do good

That is why charities are invariably run by rich public school types without the skills to run a charity properly.

Most charity CEOs limit themselves to around an IT contractors income.

Many charities have a commercial Ltd Co in the same name run in parallel
