People gave him money for the poor. He spent a fortune on luxuries for himself
Keith Taylor founded Modest Needs on the premise of helping working people with unexpected bills. He pleaded guilty on Aug. 18 to taking $2.5 million that was meant for charity, the DOJ announced. An executive who was given millions of dollars to spend on poor families pleaded guilty on Aug. 18 to taking large chunks of the money for himself to spend on a ritzy apartment and meals at swanky New York restaurants, federal officials announced. Keith Taylor, former CEO of the Modest Needs Foundation, defrauded the charity he founded, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York. Taylor embezzled over $2.5 million in donations that were supposed to go to helping low-income workers cover unexpected medical bills and other expenses such as broken appliances, prosecutors said. Instead, around $320,000 in donations helped cover Taylor's regular meals at fine-dining restaurants including Thomas Keller's Per Se. Around $300,000 helped cover the executive's luxury apartment on the 30th floor of a Midtown Manhattan skyscraper. Much of the money also helped Taylor cover his own medical expenses and electronic devices, federal officials said. "Keith Taylor preyed on the trust of New Yorkers who gave generously to help struggling families," said Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney for New York's Southern District. "Those who use charitable dollars to line their own pockets undermine the work of our many great charities and the special tax status charities enjoy. They must be brought to justice." Taylor pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud and eight counts of tax evasion, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The former executive also pleaded guilty to evading more than $1 million in federal income taxes. The 58-year-old faces potentially decades in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for October. An attorney for Taylor declined to comment. 'I had always wanted to be a philanthropist' Taylor launched the Modest Needs charity in 2002, according to the Department of Justice. The charity was considered innovative at the time for relying on online crowdfunding and Taylor's pledge to donate 10% of his salary to the cause made the website go viral, according to an interview with The Today Show in 2002. "I just had always wanted to be a philanthropist, my whole life," Taylor told Al Roker, adding that he wasn't sure where he got his charitable spirit. "I've always been that way, I've honestly always been that way." Before becoming a regular at Manhattan's finest restaurants, Taylor was a professor in Tennessee, according to The Today Show. Modest Needs' success continued. In 2009 he told CNN that the charity's impact made him feel "like Christmas every day." During the pandemic, The New York Times covered the former humanities professor's efforts in an article about how to help people at the height of lockdown. Over 90% of the $3.2 million in donations received in 2020 went towards helping people, according to a company report. Around $87,000 went towards management or administrative fees, the report says. The site appears like an early version of GoFundMe, the crowdfunding site that has become a popular last resort among people in desperate circumstances. Campaigns describe a person's struggle, such as affording medical care. A funding goal was typically listed for each charitable cause. People eligible to fundraise through the charity "are living one or two lost paychecks away from the kind of financial catastrophe that eventually leads to homelessness," according to the website. When did the embezzlement begin? Taylor began using money intended for the people listed on his website in about 2015, according to the Justice Department. His own immodest needs included regular meals at some of Midtown Manhattan's finest restaurants, including Per Se, Jean-Georges, Masa and Marea, according to prosecutors. Taylor sometimes went to dine at such places twice a day. Per Se and Masa are both three-Michelin-Star restaurants, according to the international dining guide. The two are known for having tasting menus that cost around $1,000. In addition to $300,000 in donations spent on rent at a Midtown skyscraper, Taylor spent around $100,000 on medical expenses and electronic devices and put around $270,000 into an investment account, prosecutors said. Taylor continued to embezzle funds from the charity even after his arrest in June 2024, according to the Justice Department. He attempted to cover his tracks by creating a fake board of directors to approve expenses. Among the fictitious board was Taylor's housekeeper and a bartender. Board members were not aware that they were listed as such on the company website or on tax forms. Taylor also pleaded guilty to tax evasion for not paying taxes on the embezzled funds, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The guilty plea in Taylor's case comes at a point where the city and nation have been wrestling with affordability. New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani rose to win the Democratic primary for the city's top office on a wave of support for his promise to make the city affordable for working people again.

'Sad and difficult case': First of 3 suspects in Hopewell child's shooting death sentenced
Calling it a 'sad and difficult case,' a Hopewell judge has sentenced the first of three suspects in the shooting death of a child five days after Christmas in 2022. Brandon James Warner, 19, was given a life sentence with all but 22 years suspended for first-degree murder, and three years for a firearms charge, in a hearing Aug. 8 in Hopewell Circuit Court. As part of a plea agreement, charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and shooting from an occupied vehicle were not prosecuted. Warner was also put on indefinite supervised probation upon his release and ordered to pay $8,000 in restitution to a Virginia victim's assistance fund that paid for the victim's funeral. Eight-year-old P'Aris Mi-Unique Moore was killed Dec. 30, 2022, on Freeman Street in east Hopewell. Police say she was playing outside with friends when a shot from a passing vehicle hit her. The car then sped off. She later died at HCA TriCities Hospital in Hopewell. Two other suspects, Jamari Antonio Taylor, 20, of Hopewell, and Rayquan Latrel Harvell, 18, of Chesterfield County, are awaiting trials on charges of first-degree murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Taylor also was indicted on conspiracy to commit murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Taylor is set to go to trial Oct. 30, while a date for Harvell has not yet been scheduled. Warner was the last of the suspects caught, according to police records. He was arrested in September 2023 in New York state. 'The families deserve better' Brionna Taylor, P'Aris' mother, wiped her eyes as she sat surrounded by family and friends in the courtroom for the hearing. She declined the opportunity to address the court prior to the sentencing, but a victim-impact statement was entered into the record on her behalf. Warner, called the shooter by the victim's family, remained emotionless throughout the session and declined to address the court. Last February, according to defense attorney Mary K. Marin, he began medical treatment for anxiety and depression. Petersburg restaurant closes: Owners share why Lawsuit: What a Richmond judge says can and cannot go forward in Dixie Restaurant sale lawsuit His mother and two other family members were in court. 'This is a particularly sad and difficult case,' Circuit Court Judge W. Edward Tomko said before pronouncing the sentence. 'The victim was just a baby. She will not be able to grow up and be with her family.' Tomko also noted that Warner was just 16 years old when P'Aris was killed. Looking over his record, the judge said Warner was 'already troubled' when the shooting occurred. He said he wished that something more could be done to help Warner, 'but I don't know how to change that. 'Hopewell deserves better,' he added. 'The families deserve better.' Security seemed to be heightened both in and out of the courtroom, given the highly emotional tone of the case. Deputies escorted both families out separately, and Warner's family left without comment. 'In our hearts forever' In the parking lot behind the Hopewell courthouse, the victim's family spoke with reporters about the decision. 'We feel like justice has not been served yet,' aunt Chantel Moore said. 'Being the gunman, he should have gotten more time. He'll get out and can live his big life, but P'Aris's life would have been bigger.' Wearing shirts, jackets and shoes memorializing the child, family members recalled a loving child who was the queen of TikTok and not afraid 'to read you' if necessary. 'One Christmas, all the kids got iPhones,' aunt Lesha Moore Barnes remembered. 'She kept FaceTiming me, but would not say anything and just hang up.' They also were angry that Warner did not offer any public words of remorse. They described him as a family friend who was a frequent visitor in their homes. 'This is the little girl who used to chase after [him] up the stairs all the time,' another aunt, Tasha Moore, said. P'Aris' cousin, Rashiah Moore-Cooper, said the child was a 'sweet, bright soul' who 'wasn't just my cousin, she was my baby sister in every way.' She spoke of how difficult it remains that P'Aris is no longer with them physically almost three years later. 'It breaks me to know this is our new reality,' Moore-Cooper said. 'P'Aris was taken from us so senselessly, and it's hard to imagine life without her here. 'We'll carry P'Aris in our hearts forever. She deserves every piece of justice.'
