NaturalNews.com has confirmed, through conversations with the IRS as well as through their database of records, that neither the "ALIVE Foundation" nor "ALIVE New York" has any legal standing with the IRS. Despite having no tax-exempt status with the IRS, the ALIVE New York event was widely promoted as a "non-profit" event, using words such as "foundation" and "charity" and "donations" in order to attempt to acquire hundreds of thousands of dollars in donation money which is further evidence of the outright fraud and misleading practices that took place there. People bought tickets, gave sponsorship money or gave donations while believing their donations were tax deductible. https://www.naturalnews.com/036260_ALIVE_New_York_fraud_criminals.html

The ALIVE website featured pictures of celebrities like Justin Timberlake, Justin Beiber, Russell Brand and Will Smith. Both Deepak Chopra and Olivia Newton-John had posted videos accepting their appearances at the event.

NaturalNews has received further evidence that the fraudulent non-profit status was also being used as a front to solicit more money from yet more money people, with promises that the money would be repaid after the event with a return-on-investment of over 42 percent annual return. --- the kind of return you often see associated with Ponzi schemes or financial scams. This was described in an email from Joshua Scurry, which reads as follows: ALIVE Foundation has a link for interested investors to review that covers business projections and investor information. Please review and let me know if you have any further questions. Please pass this link to ONLY qualified investors. We are prepared to pay out a short term ROI of 3.5% - 5% 30 days after the event on July 22nd.

Another important element in all this is that ALIVE New York chose to sell tickets through StayClassy.org, an online e-commerce site that caters to non-profits. But unlike TicketMasters which normally disperses tickets sales only AFTER an event has taken place, StayClassy.org disperses funds every 7 to 14 days. There are NO refunds offered to ticket purchasers by StayClassy.org. This means refund requests had to be handled by the "ALIVE Foundation" itself, which falsified its tax-exempt status; thereby defrauded donors, and attempting to absolve themselves of any financial obligations related to ticket sales or venue fees.

NaturalNews has learned that the group owes the Grand Hyatt Regency over $52,000 and that the amount has remained unpaid. A large amount of money also appears to have been spent by the non-profit for two months' rent on a luxury New York apartment for two of the event organizers, Joshua and Anna Scurry. https://www.naturalnews.com/036248_ALIVE_New_York_awards_event_allegations.html

As all this is going on, Liana Werner-Gray, the co-founder of the event who blew the whistle and went public withher video and statement, says Joshua and Anna Scurry still owe her $15,000. https://theearthdiet.blogspot.com/2012/06/alive-is-dead.html
