Subject: Public comment for next city council meeting
Good evening. My name is Jonathan Hawes. I served as EI Monte City Clerk from 2013 to 2018. Since
2015 1 have been a whistleblower on Andre Quintero and Team EI Monte's embezzlement of$10
million from the EI Monte Promise Foundation scholarship fund. I have interviewed dozens of EI
Monte residents who have privately confirmed that Promise funds were used for fraudulent trips to
Vietnam and Haiti, a bogus consultant in Salt Lake City, house repairs, and other criminal activities. I
have myself been interviewed by the FBI about two dozen times. Documents proving the
embezzlement have been submitted to the FBI and the District Attorney's Office and are now
available to the public online
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v434aIhldkika i4TCNZLMsZkhftmtA8f/view?usp=drive web). I am
asking the Tustin City Council to call out these crimes and protect the vulnerable residents of one of
the poorest cities in southern California. EI Monte children, who should've been provided with
college scholarships, were robbed. Andre Quintero and Team EI Monte members must go to prison.
If you have any questions, please call or text me at Thank you.
