From the outside, the repository looks like a regular warehouse. But inside, the 8,000 square foot space is home to more than a million items all made from animal products.“We now have a collection of 1.2 million items,” Sarah Metzer said.It’s a massive wildlife collection, with everything from elephant trunk lamps, to entire lions and python boots, all organized on shelves.“Fashion items that we adorn ourselves with, the home decor, the artwork,” Metzer described.Sarah Metzer is the Education Specialist at the National Wildlife Property Repository. This space is now home to items that were once part of the illegal wildlife trade and confiscated by law enforcement both within the U.S. and from the country’s ports of entry.“What we’re collecting here are the specimens either seized or confiscated from ports of entry to the United States,” Metzer said. Her job is to educate people about this one-of-a-kind collection. “If they are in some violation of one of our federal wildlife laws, they have the potential to end up here.”The illegal wildlife trade involves the unlawful harvest or trade of animals, plants, or any products made from them, according to U.S. Fish and Wildlife. During 2019, USFWS inspectors processed 191,492 declared shipments of wildlife and wildlife products worth more than .3 billion. The busiest ports being New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA.The repository was created in 1995 in Colorado to house a good portion of the items that were made illegally and confiscated. In 2019, the department gave out .7 million in criminal fines.However, not all items made from animals end up on these shelves, as long as the animals are captured without breaking rules.“Poaching is considered the illegal take of any fish or wildlife and the laws that regulate them,” Jason Clay with Colorado Parks & Wildlife said. “Today we’re doing one of our winter surveys on the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.”These surveys help them monitor the population. “And they’re also used to help us set our hunting license numbers,” he said. “Hunting is our number one tool for managing our wildlife and the populations.”As long as you have a license, hunting and what you do with your kill is legal. But if you’re just buying animal products, it may be hard to spot what’s legal and what’s not.“We have to make sure everything is correct and nothing is illegal,” Andreas Tsagas said. Andreas has owned his fur and leather shop for over two decades.“Most fur I have I buy from Europe,” he explained. He said he checks for tags that show what animal the fur came from, and where. “The people for wildlife check every coat.”He said if something killed illegally comes through an American port of entry, law enforcement takes it. “I like to be in business,” he said. “I make sure 100 percent everything is the way it needs to be.”“What is coming in, what is being trafficked, and what species are being represented,” Metzer said. “We do want to have a small slice of that so we can have that snapshot of what we see.”These furs and statues now serve a larger purpose, after spending some time in the warehouse.”For these materials they have the opportunity to have a second purpose,” she said. “Besides just being a former seized item, they’re going out to places like museums and science centers.”Education institutions can request certain items from the repository for educational purposes. 3412

For parents allegedly taking part in Rick Singer's college admissions cheating scheme, payments for his services usually came in the form of donations to the nonprofit arm of his "private life coaching and college counseling company" — the Key Worldwide Foundation."When families pay for either, either takin' the test or goin' through the side door, all the money goes through my foundation, and then I pay it out to whoever needs to get paid," Singer said to one parent, in a conversation recorded by law enforcement. (The federal complaint identifies the speaker as "CW-1." CNN has confirmed that CW-1 is Singer.)That blunt admission from the California businessman, who pleaded guilty last week in Boston to four federal charges — racketeering conspiracy, money laundering, tax conspiracy and obstruction of justice — shows just how much the foundation corrupted its stated purpose of providing "guidance, encouragement and opportunity to disadvantaged students around the world."A form filed several years ago with the Internal Revenue Service painted a glowing portrait of the foundation's aims, including helping to bring members of the Crips and Bloods — notorious Los Angeles street gangs — to play basketball together and "develop consensus building programs to stop gang violence."But rather than concentrating largely on the less fortunate, the charity allegedly served as a giant piggy bank to collect money from wealthy parents wanting to get their children into schools they may not have been qualified to attend on their own.One aspect of the alleged scheme, according to a federal criminal complaint, went toward bribing college entrance exam administrators and stand-in test takers to help students get better scores on standardized tests. The second part of the effort was allegedly paying off coaches and administrators at top schools to designate some applicants as recruited athletes when, at times, the students may never have even played that sport.Prosecutors said the business owners, executives and celebrities named in the complaint participated in a massive conspiracy. And Singer, who made a deal with prosecutors, laid out how he said it occurred."We would send (parents) a ... receipt stating that they made a donation to our foundation to help underserved kids, which, in fact, was not the case," Singer said. "That was not the reason why they did it."Charity says it helped 'underserved' kidsTax filings for the Key Worldwide Foundation show that it made donations to nonprofit organizations and several schools, some of which had employees who have been implicated in the scheme and charged.While none of its four board members was reported as receiving income through the foundation, filings show the foundation had thousands of dollars in expenses, including travel, administrative and accounting costs. It reported just over million in revenue from 2013 to 2016 and million in spending.A 990 form filed with the IRS for 2013 says Key's contributions to major athletic university programs "may help to provide placement to students that may not have access under normal channels."The form says the foundation, among other efforts, helped to launch a financial literacy project, create a residential summer program for 100 homeless youth living in Southern California shelters and helped fund a program to assist "800 underserved African-American youth for four weeks in each location providing academic, athletic and financial classes to prepare each high school student for college."From 2013 to 2016, the LadyLike Foundation, Friends of Cambodia and Loyola High School in Los Angeles were among those listed as receiving thousands of dollars. CNN reached out to several organizations to see if they actually received the money, but did not hear back.The family that founded the organization Friends of Cambodia in Palo Alto 3882
