A company who was hired by Wyclef Jean's Yele Haiti charity to provide job training for Haitians effected by the 2010 earthquake says 'Clef never paid them and they're taking him to court...
From NY Daily News
Wyclef Jean's scandal-scarred Yele Haiti foundation is being sued by a hospitality firm that says the now-defunct charity owes it $108,972.
Yele stiffed HVS Global Hospitality Services for job training it gave to Haitians in 2011 at the charity's request, HVS claimed in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court.
It's the first New York lawsuit filed against the Manhattan-based charity activated in 2005 by former Fugees front man Wyclef Jean. Several Haiti-based companies have reportedly sued the organization over unpaid debts on the island.
Yele reported taking in $2 million almost overnight in the wake of the 2010 earthquake that devastated the strife-torn country - but its heightened international profile led to questions about spotty bookkeeping and frequent payouts to members of Jean's family.
Yele shut down in 2012 after a forensic audit challenged foundation payments to Jean, his family and associates from the $16 million pot that the organization raised over seven years.
