We are including all the evidence for you as a special convenience! Attached is his nonprofit's organization Federal Tax ID number Dear Members of the Public, Please include this Federal Tax ID number when filing the IRS complaint. For your convenience we have attached an IRS complaint form. If you want evidence that there is no Board of Directors, we attached it for your convenience, but you can click the link here and it shows everything. https://rct.doj.ca.gov/Verification/Web/SearchResults.aspx We will also email you information later for to report him to California Attorney General's Office for tax fraud, but the IRS is the most serious violation. We want to mention he did not even register his "charity" in California until a year and a half after he started collecting donations. Then only after a lot of people filed complaints. He pretends to be a lawyer, but there is no listing of this being so. The Cerritos journalist already did extensive investigation.
