Things couldn't get any worse for Jared Fogle at the moment. The former spokesman for Subway restaurants is facing a minimum of five years in prison for child pornography charges and having paid sex with minors. If that wasn't enough, his wife has filed for divorce. Now, Fogle's childhood obesity non-profit, the Jared Foundation, which he started in 2008 to distribute $2 million to schools and community organizations to fight obesity, has been exposed as a sham. The foundation reportedly has not issued a single grant since 2008, according to records, USA Today reported.
Between 2009 and 2013, the organization spent only $73,000 a year on average. Sixty percent of the expenses went towards the executive director's salary, and 26 percent is unaccounted for, as per tax records.
Records show that the non-profit has not even paid the state of Indiana the $5 annual registration fee since its inception. The organization also ignored delinquency notices and was dissolved by the Indiana Secretary of State three years ago; however, the IRS still recognizes it.
If the IRS does some poking around, Fogle could be looking at additional charges, including tax evasion or fraud charges. The anti-obesity foundation's executive director was Russell Taylor, who was also busted on child porn charges two months before Fogle confessed to similar crimes, according to Uproxx.
