General Warning--
I am hearing from trusted sources that regime has made/built 4 star hotel style "monasteries" in the USA, and that some people (Burmese) my source knows have been "legitimately robbed" of hundreds of 000s of $$ in "donations."
He/she (my source) thinks these are part of plans to bring in junta people with false names as religious persons on religious visas.
According to him, these people are currently already in residence, and his friends wife was denied right to donate (food) to the monk after the building was finished--the monk would not eat her food--i.e. ostracized her once they got the money and kyaung pyee taw "the monastery is finished."
I strongly urge you not to be too gullible when donating in Burma, also with flood aid.
The above sounds like a well laid plan.
On US Treasury website, the Persons of Concern, some have 48 pseudonyms.
I plan to write this as fiction, as even the victims were afraid to speak out.
FYI even Afghan and other charities, such as "Ten Cups of Tea" Google Greg Mortenson, have been accused of wrong doing.
ALWAYS check and ask around.
You don't want to finance thugs, someone's nth Mercedes, or find out yr money has gone into a private acct in Dubai or "S'pore"
