From Fox 5:A judge has issued an interim court order shutting down the United Homeless Organization and seizing its assets, including bank accounts and vehicles.
The court order follows a request by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who has sued the so-called charity, which has been under intense scrutiny by Fox 5's Arnold Diaz.
In November, after a series of reports by the Fox 5 News investigative team, Cuomo's office filed a lawsuit against UHO, its founder and president Stephen Riley, and its director Myra Walker, alleging that they used the group to dupe the public into donating cash to fund services for the homeless, when in reality the money was instead used for personal expenses.
Cuomo and UHO's critics have called the group an organized panhandling network. Arnold Diaz's investigation has showed that people pay the UHO a fee to the rent the table, jug, and UHO sign and then essentially pocket whatever money the public donates.

Cuomo's war on the homelessness. fuck up
cuomo's war on the homeless u are cazy!!! these people where laundering money and not paying taxes on anything he did the right thing the money was raised under false terms if you think that is right and he is picking on them then no business should pay taxes and just squander all there money
Well, they're still out there. I'm looking out of my office window onto Union Square and I can count about 5 tables on 14th St alone.
All those cash business don't pay taxes. Why doesn't Cuomo go after the carriage drivers that overcharge tourists and don't pay taxes. NO, Cuomo picks on the homeless. Fucked up
Is it another case of illegals doing the jobs that Americans won't do.
What's the libertarian spin on this?
Illegals make more than some Americans, first of all. Second, those UHO people are scammers - I've been homeless and I know - lots of the homeless, by the way would do some of the jobs illegals are doing.
Those tables do not give the money to the homeless, they give the money to themselves and maybe the guy at the table happens to be homeless, but no money goes to "the homeless." I love when people who have never been in a situation think they know more than those who have been in the situation.
although i am not a supporter of A.Cuomo,because of his role in the sub-prime fiasco that began in the Clinton years, i have to credit him with his N.Y.S. medicaid fraud results so far.

i am impressed with his task force's dedication. keep up the good work.jail these medicaid crooks.
Mario Cuomo, and his Commissar Yvonne Scruggs-Leftwich, were the ones who invented the homeless problem to embarass Reagan. They let the hobos out of the nut houses on purpose. And they counted students living with their parents as homless. NYC Tribune had shown UHO was a scam to benefit leftist lawyers back then.
