As NYC’s Watchdog, Brad Lander Missed This Shelter Scam
Brad Lander, serving as NYC's chief financial officer, did not audit Bhrags Home Care despite being notified of corruption allegations. The non-profit received $68 million in city contracts while its director was later named a mastermind in a corruption scheme. Lander's office approved a contract increase for Bhrags months after learning of the allegations, which critics argue shows negligence.
