Craig Cartons do-nothing charity raised a lot of red flags
By Bruce Golding September 7, 2017 | 8:08pm
Benched WFAN host Craig Cartons Tourette syndrome charity has done little more than hold fundraising events to keep itself afloat, doling out little to no cash for research or treatment of the disorder but appears to have given him connections to exploit for an alleged $5.6 million Ponzi scheme.
Internal Revenue Service records show the Tic Toc Stop nonprofit has raised more than $1 million since Carton who was suspended from his sports-talk radio job following his arrest Wednesday founded it in 2013 to fight against Tourette Syndrome.
Carton and two of his four kids suffer from the condition.
But nearly all the cash raised has been spent on something other than Tourette syndrome, including a series of golf outings, galas and other fundraising events.
