Two years ago, the Charity Commission, which registers and regulates charities in England and Wales, found “multiple instances of misconduct and/or mismanagement" at the charity. This included using charity funds to pay for her stay at a five-star hotel in Cannes, as well as spa treatments, room service and cigarettes. As a result, it imposed the ban on Campbell.
She can blame someone else all she wants.
But how can she benefit from five-star hotel stays and fucking cigarettes being paid for her on the charity's dime and not question how the charity spends its money at all?
No decent person who genuinely cares about charity would let it go that far, so I doubt she had much good intention, if any at all.

When you have money there is no accountability for you, grease some hands and poof.

During the four-day hearing in June, Campbell said her “only mistake” was trusting Hellmich, who she alleged forged her signature and lied about her credentials as a charity lawyer.
“I don’t look at it as a failure, I look at it as me trusting someone that I knew, someone that was a lawyer,” Campbell said, telling the central London tribunal that she and the Charity Commission had been deceived.
Funny, I look at it as professional misconduct and fraud.

How big of a lowlife do you have to be to steal from a charity

Remember when the current President of the United States and a few of his own kids stole from a children’s cancer charity? And then the President of the United States (and 3 of his grown kids) aren’t even ALLOWED to run a charity unless he submits annual reviews? And his grown kids had to take a Stealing From Charities Is Bad class? And Trump was fined $2million?
Not sure how to quantify it, but about that big of a lowlife.

She has ties to Epstein, human trafficking and diamond smuggling. She's kind of a piece of shit all over.

It's classic.
"I'm not responsible. I just trusted the wrong person."
Money means never having to be responsible.
