Fraud - It's The Pitts!

Brad Pitt BPITTASLEEP120307_06.jpg The AP is reporting that one of the beneficiaries of Pitt's Make It Right charity, established to help rebuild homes for residents of New Orleans trying to recover from Hurricane Katrina, is a man named Robert Green - who's currently under investigation for loan fraud!

To be fair, Green's fraud hasn't been tied to Make It Right yet - he's being investigated for preparing false tax returns (he's a tax preparer by trade), some of which date all the way back to 2001.

That still doesn't mean Make It Right is in the clear, though - since Green was the first recipient of a house through the program, their name's been practically tied to his!

Currently, there's been no decision as to whether Green will still receive his house from the program. Calls to Pitt's representatives were not returned in time for publication.

His defenders are quick to note that Green has played a powerful role in the community since Katrina, spearheading local efforts to clean up and recover.

We just hope that that's the Green who dealt with Brad - and not the career forger!

(If you'd like to learn more about the Make It Right foundation, click here to visit the site. It's still an incredibly worthy cause!)



Poor Brad - hopefully this doesn't sully his good-faith efforts to help some truly needy folks out!

No wonder X17 wants Britney to go back to her manic state. Without her, they have to resort to reporting 6 month old lame stories.

There were many reputable well established charities to donate to in NOLA. These celebs just have to have a charity in their name with no knowledge on the running of them. Hope they weren't involved in any shady business.

Why didn't anyone check out this guy?

it not old news because green will be sentence today.
brad only try to help nola people(coz the usa government is not doing that) and green try to fool him.

I hope that Mr. Greene still gets his house. I don;t think want he did was for his own $$$ gain. He and at least Brad Pitt has really stepped up and tried to help the folks that lost EVERY THING THEY HAD most everyone else has forgot about all those people. Brad and Ellen seem to be the ONLY $$ people still helpen'.

wtf
PLUS he may have legal problems but at the end of day he doesnt have a house because of katrina .

Brad isn't smart enough to handle it.
If you want to take the credit then
you need to take time to check out
what you are doing. How many others
are there that are about the same.
You can always hire people to handle
those details.

You want to smear Pitt because he's HELPING people? No wonder X17 is doing a dive.......I'm done with you too.

Brad Pitt was so eager to put his name on some sort of tax write-off and PR campaign that he didn't even educate himself regarding the individuals who, quite frankly, terrorized the neighborhood before Katrina and now, are being paid to come back. The residents of N.O. are not happy about Pitt's efforts. THERE'S A REASON THE US GOV'T DIDN'T REBULD THE LOWER 9TH-Pitt is just too stupid and self-righteous to realize it.

well if you are good at fraud..guess your good at anything. I wonder what type of access he has to the Katrina funds, why else would he be so involved.

Brad needs to pay closer attention to matter instead of traipsing all over the place with his girl friend. He's using other people's money, here, from generous donaters. I wonder how much other fraud is imbedded in this project.

New Orleans had the meanest low-life idiots living there, taught to live on the dole hand to mouth, sining constantly, preying on each other and whining for handouts and to keep their cultural sickeness alive, which the liberals said they must have to be true to their color and immoral issues. Such racist captivity is obvious to everyone but them apparently... and certain wicked ones are moving back to take advantage of the funds and charity pouring in. It's not suprising a career criminal would be lame enough to commit a crime within all the chaos to get a piece of the huge amount of chairty offerings and think because he was wiser than the system.. he earned it.. and think he might not get caught or overlooked by pity.

Brad Pitt was on Larry King discussing this project, and I personally think he is doing something worthwhile. Sure he has been asking for donations but he is also donating 5mil of his money towards this project. Sure this will help him with a tax write-off but people will benefit and that's what counts.

YOU KNOW IVE POSTED ABOUT PITTS FOUNDATION ON PEREZ. AND ALL I KNOW IS PITT HAS ABSOLUTLEY NO IDEA ABOUT WHAT HES DOING OR WHO WILL BE THE RECIPIENTS OF THESE HOMES, BUT ITS DEFINITELY NOT THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT THE MOST ONLY PEOPLE WHO WORK THE SYSTEM. LIKE CRACKHEADS AND PEOPLE WHO GET GOVERNMENT CHECKS CLAIMING THEY ARE DIABLED SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE A SCRIPT FOR PROZAC. ITS DISGUSTING AND ALL FRAUDELENT. IF YOU PEOPLE ONLY KNEW!!!!



Posted by: QUEEN NEW ORLEANS LADY

THANK YOU BRAD & FAMILY!!!! THANK GOD HIS FAMILY CARES ABOUT NEW ORLEANS AND PEOPLE THAT LIVE HERE. I LIVE HERE AND WE DID LOSE EVERYTHING BUT NOT OUR LIVES ... SO TO REST OF YOU PLEASE PRAY THAT A STORM NEVERS HIT YOU. BECAUSE IT WAS A TRAGIC AND MANY LIVES WERE LOST.



Posted by: Angry at BRAD!!!!!!!!!

The entire section where Brad is building those houses is crap. The people who lived there are the worst people on the planet. Not one single person in that area deserves a house. I know this because I lived 10 minutes from there and while driving through on my way home was shot at four times, carjacked once with another attempt. My huband is a police officer in NOLa and worked that area for years until he got fed up with being shot at so much. He has been fired at more time on NOLa than his brother has in four tours in Iraq. Go figue.

Brad, you have made me so sick with what you have done. That entire area should be bulldozed to the ground. Or better yet, move your rainbow family there and see how they treat you after they get their free handouts like another other time. They will murder you just like they have murdered their own siblings over a damn pork chop.







This part is optional!
