A Staten Island man is accused of creating almost two dozen fake charities to collect $150,000.
A long-running cancer charity scam, that allegedly made one New York man thousands of dollars that went toward his mortgage payments and credit card bills instead of sick patients, has been busted by city prosecutors.
The man from Staten Island appeared in court on Monday to face charges alleging he created at least 23 fake cancer charity organizations and pocketed $152,000 for his personal use. Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez announced the indictment that accuses Ian Hosang, 63, of operating the fraudulent charity funds between 2014 and 2021 by linking them to legitimate groups like the American Cancer Society and United Way.
An investigation by the district attorney's office uncovered evidence that alleges Hosang"lined his own pockets" from countless donations that he in turn used to pay his living expenses, bills and trips to the liquor store. Attorney information for Hosang was not immediately available.
