The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro (CFGG)
was supposed to put up the first $5,000,000 and didn't

No one knows how much the private money has actually been collected

No one knows how much the privately raised money is currently invested in

No one knows how much the money is being skimmed by CFGG in fees

No one knows if all the money needed has been raised

White elephant

Misrepresentation

Purposeful fraud upon Greensboro's taxpayers 
if Council and CFGG don't come up with the promised money
which appears to not have happened if CFGG hasn't come up with the initial $500,000,000 
as promised
