Why has the Urban Affairs Coalition (UAC) allegedly opted to hide embezzlement, billing for hours not worked, and theft of services from the PA Department of Community & Economic Development?
Grant Fraud 101
Six (6) UAC employees signed off on “The Hierarchy” timesheet labor invoices in NetSuite, charged against the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development MBE/WBE 653 cash-in-hand slush fund. Kevin Satterthwaite (CFO), #5 in the chain, pushes the invoices to Accounting.
Jacques’ bestie Karen Harvey is the CED program manager. She ordered the programmer to work for free on her two mysterious UAC email “Legal Research” off-the-record, all-nighters. God only knows what case UAC was allegedly hushing up.
The Urban Affairs Coalition’s Senior Vice President of Business Services, Kevin Satterthwaite, recommends The Hierarchy to its sixty-five (65) Program Partners as “one of the best IT companies in the region”.
The Hierarchy is a catfish. See: Click Here
Why would these sixty-five program partners (Here) trust any vendor UAC steers business to when UAC laughs when its top IT Services vendor steals paychecks and bills clients for hours nobody works?
Every nonprofit program partner UAC includes in its 990s needs to know that a thief is running amok, and UAC doesn’t care.
The UAC department leaders must justify every expense to the finance team, explaining why and how they plan to use the MBE/WBE 653 funds.
Did Kevin Satterthwaite self-report that he planned on paying a con man tax-cheat as a staffing agency and payroll processor that does not issue 1099s or W2s and pay for IEDS database programming costs?
UAC is required by law to make its financial statements available to the general public, including its annual report. The report provides an overview of the nonprofit’s financial health and activities. The general public hasn’t seen the financials since June 2022. UAC is required by law to make its financial statements available to the general public, including its annual report. The report provides an overview of the nonprofit’s financial health and activities. The IRS hasn’t published the UAC financials since June 2022.
UAC hasn’t posted its 990 on its own website since June 2020.
The last financial UAC posted was June 2019. Babies born on June 30, 2019, are in the second grade.
UAC advises its vendors whose bid exceeds the $7,500 three-bid threshold to split their bid over two fiscal years. This is an unethical deception of the spirit of the PA Department of Community & Economic Development.
UAC allegedly fraudulently classifies labor MBE/WBE 653 time sheets as COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) software.
UAC knows no payments were made for the mission-critical databases Carlos Jones solicited during his questionable criminal investigation of his best friend, Jacques Latoison, which confirmed the embezzlement. This is felony theft of services.
Why is the MBE/WBE 653 taxpayer money used to pay for Carlos Jones’ private for-profit company, Infinite Economic Development Solutions’ database programming?
On my third day of work, I worked directly with Carlos Jones on his IEDS work.
An Insight Public Sector, Inc. prior employee has informed us that the physical address for THE HIERARCHY is 401 North Broad Street, Suite 210 (the data center). Who pays the rent at Latoison’s data center? Is the General Fund paying for the IEDS servers and maybe the EGRM $1M Cares Act PPE swindlers? Click Here.
We now have an email from a former UAC employee wronged and defamed by UAC, confirming that Latoison and Lisa, the wife, gave her and some other guests the “grand tour of his operation at Netrality.” Click here
Has anybody seen Carlos Jones?
He promised my paychecks and an eight-year contract to service CHOP and PENN if I cooperated and stayed quiet during his sham criminal investigation of his bestie, Latoison.
The “Carlos Jones” on the City of Philadelphia payroll, allegedly sitting in City Hall, has been removed. Nobody knows if this is the same UAC EDP and IEDS Carlos Jones. ** ** Update ** Tipsters have confirmed this is the same Carlos Jones; he retired 3/31/2024 after entering in hours 9-5 in the city payroll AND the same hours as working for IEDS.
There is no way this is Carlos Jones’ sole source of income. This $146,000 figure includes money to pay his IEDS employees. He lives a lavish lifestyle in DE; we have to scream for him to hear us over the construction crews building annexes on his McMansion while he works from home.
Carlos Jones, UAC EDP Executive Project Manager, is also the owner of Infinite Economic Development Solutions. MBE/WBE 653 is paying for both companies’ database programming. Nobody can figure out why Brian Oglesby is a UAC EDP Project Manager. Oglesby works for more companies than Carlos Jones and provides services to UAC through his private company, SPiRgroup.
The three blind mice charge Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to snooze through meetings that could have been an email.
Hold them Accountable
To our knowledge, the three blind mice, Kevin Satterthwaite, Sharmain Turner-Matlock, and Arun Prabhakaran, have not reported the embezzlement, billing for hours not worked, and self-reported felony theft of services to the state of Pennsylvania or law enforcement.
Research indicates that 46% of embezzlement cases in nonprofits go unreported, as executives often conceal their failure to protect taxpayer dollars.
There is no justification for hiding these crimes from the public or punishing the employee who reported the theft.
The taxpayers must demand that UAC make the victim whole and terminate its relationship with the IT vendor, who boasts about being “untouchable” because his brother is a criminal attorney and his sister is a grant writer for the DoD.
prime contractor responsibilities
Kevin Satterthwaite must be held accountable for his failure to protect taxpayer money from a known tax cheat to whom he irresponsibly entrusted unrestricted funds. For ten (10) years, he allowed this con artist to bill for hours that were never worked. When confronted with evidence that Latoison had stolen paychecks, Satterthwaite deflected blame, effectively endorsing the fraudster through his alleged inaction. Furthermore, Satterthwaite allegedly participated in the theft of services by endorsing the decision not to pay for mission-critical databases commissioned by UAC EDP. The Pennsylvania General Services Department has a responsibility to hold UAC accountable for its willful negligence in managing the unrestricted fund. We also need to investigate whether the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development includes a similar clause in its contract with UAC.
Why does UAC allow its IT vendor to read all emails? This is an incredible security fail paid for by taxpayers. Nobody can report theft when the IT vendor is the criminal.
I have over 1,000 emails from UAC management tracking this and a plethora of other issues since 2/2023. For God’s sake, my missing paycheck should be the least of UAC’s worries.
UAC knew Latoison was in court with the IRS and kept writing him my paychecks when paid from MBE/WBE 653 and the General Fund, when they knew the money was vanishing. Not good at all!
UAC Management acknowledges that Kevin Satterthwaite is aware of the theft and is facilitating the lies.
The thief controls what Kevin, the CEO, pays him.
Kevin Satterthwaite had no paperwork for the employee he personally dealt with, so who was insuring her? A tipster informed us that Kevin allowed a person named Troy to accumulate hours in 2022 without completing the necessary contractor paperwork. Kevin then paid him for those hours as a “1099 vendor.” If The Hierarchy has no employees, Latoison could not have insured someone who does not exist. This negligence will ultimately catch up to UAC. Latoison ignored the paperwork that Kevin required from the programmer. However, since Kevin seems indifferent to people stealing from the General Fund and nobody at the state appears to care, it is unlikely that he will change his behavior.
Does anybody at the State know that The Hierarchy is a subcontractor of UAC? #WeLoveEmailAddresses
These people signed a COVID-19 ARPA PANDEMIC RESPONSE GRANT PROGRAM CONTRACT $100,000 contract.
These people signed a $500,000 CED contract. GVI DCED FY 2021 $500K. No wonder Mergiotti calls on EWYK Malcolm Ingram when folks ask what he is doing. You can bet your ass the REAL attorneys at the State will clown Ingram.
vendors not certified
The Hierarchy is allegedly not a certified Microsoft Service Provider or a certified minority vendor. Why does UAC pay this alleged tax cheat and embezzler from MBE/WBE 653?
Additionally, Carlos Jones’ private for-profit company, Infinite Economic Development Solutions, is reportedly not a certified minority vendor.
Why is Carlos Jones presented as a UAC executive, and why is UAC also paying him to perform EDP work through IEDS as their vendor?
Furthermore, why do the C-suite executives receive compensation of $400 to $600 per hour for attending UAC CHOP EDP meetings?
Lastly, why is UAC funding database programming for Infinite Economic Development Solutions from MBE/WBE 653?
Taxpayer dollars pay for the Hierarchy, Jacques Latoison’s services.
Does this apply to Slippery Latoison or just UAC?
laughing at taxpayers
No wonder these people live in million-dollar McMansions and laugh at the taxpayers supporting their lifestyles.
Grown-ass men flaunting their wealth, tennis shoes, and luxury vacations while their loyal workers believe working for a nonprofit means they are financial doormats.
UAC should be ashamed of themselves; their workers are top-notch busting their asses while the executives accept personal favors and recommend those showering them with good times employment opportunities.
Nonprofit does not mean no profit.
Sharmain is the queen of throwing expensive gala events to recognize herself and UAC as a “great nonprofit”, when the program partners struggle to have their vendors paid and donations acknowledged. How pathetic.
UAC C-Suite is fully aware that “The Hierarchy” has a decade-old BIRT judgment and knows that Jacques Latoison owes DE over $87,000 in personal taxes and has eleven federal tax liens totaling $300,000.
How does UAC justify using taxpayer dollars to sponsor and pay a fraud who is allergic to paying his taxes?
Tragic. Malcolm Ingram will be racking up billable hours sending the PA Department of Community & Economic Development executives menacing letters forbidding them from discussing this fraud.
EWYK Malcolm Ingram will probably be paid more than the worker he is rallying against is owed.
Ingram orders UAC witnesses to shut up.
Is he telling them not to discuss evidence, too? Or coaching them on how to testify?
Ingram is sending menacing letters to outsiders.
The people asking questions are reprimanded and told to email him their questions.
Ingram then plays word salad and does not answer their questions.
Who knows who is paying Cohen Seglias? Wait until Latoison stiffs them, too.
As far as we know, “The Hierarchy” is not certified by any third party. Maybe UAC is the “vendor”.
The General Fund pays EWYK Malcolm Ingram’s legal fees
What does the Bradley and Bradley Associates Crime, Fiduciary, and D&O policies paid by the General Fund cover if not this? Malcolm Ingram needs to answer how many other contractors he told the DOL were not “employees”. He thinks the wronged employees’ gag orders last forever. Rumor has it that there was a recent big-time take down of UAC.
Malcolm Ingram is like the Buffalo Bills of lawyers (“Boy, I Love to Lose Super Bowls”).
It’s no surprise that Malcolm Ingram is driving up UAC’s legal expenses. He is paid to create chaos, prolong cases, and, unfortunately, he loses over 95% of the time. Is the General Fund ever audited? How can this case not be seen as a conflict of interest, given that Ingram is compensated from the same taxpayer General Fund money that was plundered by the thief? Allegedly, he is being paid more to lose cases than most of the victims are receiving in compensation.
