Wyclef Jean has been accused before, and he is being accused again, of stealing from the organization, Yele Haiti, he setup to help people in Haiti. The New York Post wrote:

Yele Haiti's coffers swelled to $ 16 million in 2010 (but they) spent just $ 5.1 million for emergency relief efforts, including food and water delivery to makeshift survivor camps.

Yele Haiti paid five contractors, including P&A Construction — which received $ 353,983 and is run by Warnel Pierre, the brother of Jean's wife, Claudinette.

A purported Miami business called Amisphere Farm Labor Inc. received a whopping $ 1,008,000 as a "food distributor."

No trace of the company could be found, but records show the company's head, Amsterly Pierre, bought three properties in Florida last year, including a condo in an upscale waterfront community.

The address listed for the business is an auto-repair shop in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood, where a worker said he had never heard of Pierre or Amisphere.

In his own defense Wyclef issued the following statement:

"The NY Post piece entitled 'Questions Dog Wyclef's Haiti Fund' is misleading, deceptive and incomplete. The Post conveniently fails to acknowledge that the decisions that Yéle made were a response to one of the world's most catastrophic natural disasters in modern history and required an immediate humanitarian response. There were no roads, no clean water, no sanitation, no banks, no electricity, no infrastructure."

"Immediate decisions were made to save lives and alleviate suffering. We made decisions that enabled us to provide emergency assistance in the midst of chaos and we stand by those decisions. We did the best we could with the available resources. I am proud of the way that Yéle handled the crisis on the ground in 2010. We were able to feed, clothe, provide medical assistance and shelter for more than 250 thousand people in need."

Hugh Locke, who ran Jean's charity in 2010, said in his own statement:

"Over the course of 2010, we spent a total of $ 9.2 million, $ 8.2 million for programs (most of that for emergency relief and a small portion for other Yéle programs) and $ 1 million (or roughly 11%) on administrative overhead. Yéle made a decision not to expend all the funds raised in 2010 during that same year because people in the tent camps continued to need support. Consequently, $ 6.8 million was carried over to cover operations in 2011."

It's probably a good thing Haiti found a way to disqualify Wyclef from running for president of Haiti.
