No offense my friend, but Fethullah Gulen, who is the boss of the largest charter school company not only is being investigated by the FBI but the Turkish government would like to get their hands on him which is why he is living here in the United States ... in Pennsylvania as a matter of fact. Muhammed Fethullah Gülen (born 27 April 1941) is a Turkish preacher,^[4] former imam,^[4][5] writer,^[6] and Islamic opinion leader. He is the founder of the Gülen movement (sometimes known as Hizmet). He currently lives in a self-imposed exile in Saylorsburg, Pennsylvania, United States.^[7][8][9]
This is becoming an international incident that has nothing to do with schools. There is also a serious question as to where the money is really going.

The FBI has been investigating the outfit from Turkey (they have at least one charter school here in Youngstown) and perhaps they should also investigate the politicians that are supporting this outfit to see how much they are being paid for their support.
