A federal agency rushed to approve funding for a Clinton donor’s sham Haiti recovery project that ended up defrauding the U.S. government out of millions, according to court transcripts and internal government documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Miami businessman Claudio Osorio, who is currently serving 12 years in federal prison on fraud charges, leveraged his relationship with Bill and Hillary Clinton to help his company InnoVida obtain a $10 million loan from the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) for a Haiti housing project in 2010.
OPIC is an independent government agency that submits its annual budget requests through the State Department and works closely with the agency.
Bill Clinton helped arrange for a high-powered Florida law firm to represent Osorio during loan negotiations with OPIC, according to court testimony. An internal OPIC memo said Hillary Clinton was prepared to marshal State Department resources to assist with the donor’s project.
InnoVida was supposed to use the funding to build houses in Haiti after the earthquake, but it defaulted on the loan and the homes were never built.
After InnoVida went bankrupt in 2011, a court-appointed investigator said it appeared that over $30 million of its funds had been diverted to foreign bank accounts and were not retrievable.

At this point, no story on the Clinton's inbred proclivity to facilitate any sort of crime will have any effect. It's like they'ere lovable and charming and we don't want any harm done to them. They're positively honest, trustworthy and highly qualified, so America lets them do as they please < s />
The truth is there's another Clinton couple who've somehow managed to enter our dimension from some parallel universe and they're the ones who do these sinister things while our Clintons are everything they say they are.
The proof of this is that you never see these two couples together. (what do you mean it doesn't make sense?)
Most honest couple of the milenium prize winning ping
Fyi
The American Public have been programmed by the Media. It’s not LW/RW, it’s Money, Advertising and Wall St. We are not a free nation anymore. In fact, Argentina or Mexico are freer than we are

There was an episode of American Greed that covered this scam: http://www.cnbcprime.com/american-greed/video/american-greed-claudio-osorios-haiti-deception/

The corruption and criminality has no end. The world would be better off if these crypto-criminals did not exist on earth.

====================================================
The outstanding cable TV anthology show "American Greed" did a segment on Venezuelan fraudster (now jailed) Claudio Osorio. Osorio, a Venezuelan schemer, organized high profile fundraisers, and was in thick w/ Democrats Obama, Hillary and Bill-----and with Jeb Bush.
Osorio donated some $80,000 to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, according to Federal Electoral Commission records.
Osorio also donated mega-bucks to the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation.
Osorio's shell company, Innovida, submitted falsified documents and received $3.5 million in loans from the US govt----the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) supposedly to build homes in Haiti after the catastrophic earthquake. In September 2011, OPIC began questioning Innovida's "negative operating cash flow."
A court appointed receiver in charge of investigating Innovida's finances indicated that "$37.5 million in funds had been moved offshore, but he had so far been unable to find out what happened to the money." Osorio has used his constitutional privilege of invoking the fifth amendment right against self-incrimination when asked if company funds had been used to pay personal expenses.
Osorio was indicted on two counts of wire fraud and one count of major fraud, amongst other charges. Federal prosecutors said Osorio defrauded investors from 2007-10, exaggerating the company's finances and pocketing millions of dollars to fund a lavish lifestyle. The SEC claimed that Osorio had illegally used investor money to pay for a Miami Beach mansion, a Maserati car and a Colorado mountain retreat home.
Jeb Bush agreed to return $270,000 that he was paid as a consultant to convicted fraudster Claudio Osorio and Osorio’s bogus companies.
AM/GREED also aired a pic of Jeb sizing-up Osorio's pre-fab housing project for Haitian refugees (which turned out to be a scam).

REALITY CHECK Then-Secy Hillary supposedly gave Haiti $3.1 billion tax dollars for Earthquake Relief.
But Haitian-American protesters claim that American aid to Haiti was a cover-for foreign governments to funnel kickbacks of hundreds of millions of dollars to The Clinton Foundation.
For example, gold mining expert Giustra "gave" the Foundation $100 million....after Bill helped him make billions off uranium deals.
Hillary's brother mysteriously got a rare license to mine gold in Haiti.
==================================================
Canadian mining magnate Frank Giustra is one of the Clinton Foundation’s largest donors. Giustra's $100 million contributions go directly:
<><> (1) to the tax-exempt Clinton Foundation, and,
<><> (2) to the Canada-based "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership."
The "Clinton-Giustra Enterprise Partnership" in turn sends money to the Clinton Foundation...(according to Canadian tax records researched by "Clinton Cash" author Schweizer).
