Subject:Public comment for the next city council meeting
Good evening. My name is Jonathan Hawes. I served as El Monte City Clerk from 2013 to 2018. Since 2015 I
have been a whistleblower on Andre Quintero and Team El Monte’s embezzlement of $10 million from the El
Monte Promise Foundation scholarship fund. I have interviewed dozens of El Monte residents who have
privately confirmed that Promise funds were used for fraudulent trips to Vietnam and Haiti, a bogus consultant
in Salt Lake City, house repairs, and other criminal activities. I have myself been interviewed by the FBI about
two dozen times. Documents proving the embezzlement have been submitted to the FBI and the District
Attorney’s Office and are now available to the public online
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mH4CC1BCQtj4Lwa7ne9uR33Jf_yZlVrH/view?usp=sharing). I am asking
the Anaheim City Council to call out these crimes and protect the vulnerable residents of one of the poorest
cities in southern California. El Monte children, who should’ve been provided with college scholarships, were
robbed. Andre Quintero and Team El Monte members must go to prison. If you have any questions, please call
or text me at ( Thank you.
