So, you are in some kind of business and told that joining Rotary International will result in instant success, both in finance and community fame. People will look at you as a caring leader, someone who goes the extra mile spending time and money on charitable events or disaster relief. Depending on the part of the globe you live in, you may, or may not be aware of their existence, you benefit or not from their “generosity” and “compassion”. About Rotary International Wall of Shame
If you live in a rich country like, say, an average normal citizen, chances are you haven’t heard anything about Rotary. If you’re in the business of, say, medium size, a politician, a lawyer, a doctor, or a professional on at least 6 figures first world income, then, you have certainly heard something.
As a well-educated professional, you evaluated the potential return (or not) on your investment that will cost you anywhere from 300 to 600 US$ for the year, minimum, more if you opt to buy the Paul Harris Fellow Award at the cost of US$ 1000. But honestly, the last thing you have in mind, is you join the organization for service to the community.
There isn’t such a thing in the Rotary. There never was. At best, you may feel better that you have donated a bit of your time to save a distressed person somewhere in the third world. But all you accomplished is helping some fat leaders in the local community gain more weight.
Take, for example, the picture on the left. You’ll learn more about them later. I will conclude this introduction by allowing history and the Rotary itself to determine whether the organization has ever had any credibility beyond serving as an admitted business club-a self-serving organization for its members.
The Rotary International has faced significant criticism from various individuals and has been the subject of satire in plays and books. One of the most notable critiques came from Sinclair Lewis in his novel "Babbitt," where Rotary was thinly veiled as the ‘Boosters.’ (You can read the first few chapters of "Babbitt" on our website, with a link to all chapters). Here you can also find early critics of the Rotary International. https://rghf.org/early-critics/
“The History Library Babbitt – Sinclair Lewis – 1922 RGHF notes: Over the years, there have been many criticisms of the Rotary movement, some of the most scathing coming in the pages of Rotary’s own journals. Even Paul Harris, so it is said, was somewhat disillusioned by the way in which his original club refused to allow development elsewhere. He was also less than happy that it had become a self-help organization with a ‘transaction register’ of deals, a far cry from his conception of a club to work for the community in which it was based.
Thus, almost inevitably,
was heavily criticized by some people and was lampooned in plays and
books, perhaps most successfully by Sinclair Lewis (right) in ‘Babbitt’.
Here Rotary was barely disguised as the ‘Boosters’ . (read the first
few chapters of Babbitt on our website, with a link to all chapters.” See early critics

We will explain in detail the modus operandi of the (not-so-sophisticated) scam that the "partners" are using to "invest" the donations made by generous individuals to the Rotary. But first, let’s look at what others have to say about the integrity of Rotary members—those who speak and write better English than Evan Iliadis. While that may be true, it’s important to remember that “what matters is what I say, not how I say it.” Here is one perspective from...the venerable Forbes Magazine A bout Rotary International Wall of Shame

Let’s put the key sentence of this article below
“Unlike hate crimes that are committed across racial, ethnic or religious lines, Affinity Fraud targets members of identifiable groups, such as religious or civic organizations, ethnic communities, elderly people and even professional associations. Fraudsters infiltrate a group and seek to exploit the trust and friendship among its members. Often times, they get a long-standing or high ranking member(s) of the group to unwittingly endorse the scheme and the scam spreads faster than a California wildfire.” About Rotary International Wall of Shame

Rotary club treasurer admits fraud of the club’s accounts
We don’t know if he was sentenced by a court of law, but no word from the Rotary. They don’t have a wall of shame in their organization. To the contrary, they pretend “no see no heard” policy covering up crooks. We’ll do the dirty job instead. For the good of the community, for the good of those with a big heart who give with no questions asked. They should…

I could continue for pages discussing Rotarian fraudsters around the globe. However, it's time to focus on the main reason I'm here: the scams involving Rotarians that haven't made headlines. These schemes have led to millions of dollars being funneled to scammers worldwide, all with the full knowledge of the Rotary Foundation. Unfortunately, the organization often silences whistleblowers to avoid scandals and protect its reputation, disregarding the need to address the actions of felons and criminals.
