Gary Michelson's Found Animals Foundation just sent out a newsletter stating they've been saving animals since 1995. Nope, the Foundation was legally started in 2005. The Foundation didn't actually do anything for quite a while.
"Saving Pets and Enriching Lives Since 1995
Find out more about these accomplishments and how we plan to further our mission of saving pets and enriching lives in 2021 and beyond.
For the pets,
Chief Executive Officer
Michelson Found Animals Foundation"
The main goal of the foundation was to offer the basically fake $75,000,000 Prize. The goal was to end pet overpopulation within ten years. It failed. The goal of the prize was to quickly get a one shot permanent sterilant for cats and dogs. Gary said with his money and brain power he will quickly end pet over population in Los Angeles. I stupidly believed him and signed up to help. A person in the movie industry started following everyone around with a camera to document this "amazing feat." It never happened.
Many people sent in what should have been prize winning submissions. Gary Michelson then kept moving the goal posts. The new requirements were that it had to be a new drug that he could patent and sell for millions in profits. I was told that submissions were made which met the requirements and Gary has still not paid the Prize. Instead he doles out a little money here and there for "research." The results of all of the research so far is "more research is needed." Gary used to complain about this type of fake research and now he's funding it.
The real goal of "The Prize" was to dangle large sums of cash in front of people so people would want to be friends with Gary and interact with him. He was now a philanthropist trying to solve major problems. He met with Bill Gates and other real philanthropists. That was the real goal of the Foundations and Prize money.
Another purpose of the non-profit organizations he made was alleged tax evasion. Dr Gary Michelson was found guilty of tax evasion by the IRS and had to pay back taxes and a huge fine. The non-profits were a way to hold Gary Michelson's money tax free. For years the Foundations barely used any of the money.
I've been a bit lax keeping up with this story though much has happened.
Alya Michelson is still trying to break into show business. She's hired award winning producers and changed up her singing and story. Even though she was just a Russian mail order bride who got a job with Russian propaganda PR news Ria Novosti RT she now claims she was a "Journalist" who cares about womens issues. Then why did she agree to be a paid baby maker beard? Gary Michelson bragged to everyone that he was "buying" a "Russian mail order bride." She clearly doesn't care about female empowerment. She also wouldn't have any "music career" if Gary didn't pay for it. It's like the Hearst story but Alya has no talent at all.
Gary Michelson now believes in giving convicted criminals a second chance. He wants to help them after they leave prison so they can happily and productively rejoin society. He's doing this through his 20 Million Minds foundation with books and education. Is that why he's still beating Richard Powers and Neil Campbell who never stole money from him? The hypocrisy is mind boggling.
