Very common to see scammy behavior in charities like "Kars 4 Kids" and even other military charities like Wounded Warriors: "Dozens of former employees reported extravagant spending, including luxury resorts, parties, and excessive travel, with only 50-60% of funds going to programs."

3 million wreaths for 30 million USD, is that correct? That's still a dubious arrangement, but a sane price and far from the unbounded greed and depravity of some usually large and public corporations.
