Boston Marathon Bombers Framed: FBI, DHS Prime Suspects
        established tradition of publicly funding radical left  wing organizations to aid its

        By Dec. 2014, the Fund collected over $80 million purportedly to help victims.

        $1.5 million of that reportedly established The One Fund Center for two years for
        purported victims, $1 million was given to Massachusetts General Hospital and

 D      $500,000 was given to Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary. Beyond the purported

 E      amputees, the vast majority of the reported injuries were from noise or emotional
 C      trauma.

 P      Some have tried to collect from the One Fund but instead received serious penalties,

        Of course, it’s easy for the Attorney General to prosecute someone for scamming
        the charity because its true recipients definitively know that 264 weren’t

        legitimately injured. Some quick math: $8.6 million + $78 million = $86.6 million,
        which would on average give each victim $328,030. Additionally, purported victims

        independently raised donations from personal websites. Many of the shinier stars of
        the Boston Marathon bombings generated around $1 million each. Where are all of
        the feel-good articles about the newly much wealthier Boston Marathon bombings

        victims? When the One Fund closed its last accounts, its President James Gallagher
        concluded: “this fund forever changed the model for how to efficiently collect and

        Summary



        A December 2014 summary of the JTTF’s drill called “After Action Report for the

        Response to the 2013 Boston Marathon Bombings” discussed its effectiveness and
