It's vitally important to understand that the real story here is that dishonest people will try to take advantage of nonprofits – These are NOT stories about nonprofits defrauding the public, but about how individuals have tried to defraud charitable nonprofits such as Legal Aid (theft by their Financial Director and accomplice) and the Bible Society (where a former secretary stole money using falsified checks and a misused credit card).
