So in one case, they told African groups they'd give a grant to manufacture COVID masks, but they had to subcontract it to Glenn's friend in Colorado. And the African group said, we don't want that. We don't need any COVID masks. We've already got as many as we need. But Glenn didn't care.

Yeah, exactly. I mean, there were so many conflicts of interest going on here. At one point, the African Development Foundation pushed its board members' pyramid scheme on poor Africans. The CEO of Herbalife, which was, remember, that basically pyramid scheme that was charged with violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,

And accused of by the DOJ of tricking people into opening these money losing businesses. He was on the board of this government agency and the agency entered into a partnership with Herbalife where they were giving Africans some money and product and having Herbalife employees be their mentors.

A USAID inspector general seized Zahid's phone and found that Ghanian was owned by his friend. And every time he gave it a contract, the friend sent money to Zahid's personal bank account.
