with a record like this, i sure would think twenty seven times BEFORE donating to the. hey, that's just ME though (it hits me in the pit of the stomach when someone who is fairly well off as i imagine wyclef to be (yeah i know he's had troubles in the past), pays themselves and a friend at least $410,000 from their charity.

as i said, the charity COULD be and most likely IS on the up and up but my money is going to a charity that uses MORE of the money to get where's it's needed
