My name is John Martin, and I am an attorney with the law firm Amsterdam & Partners LLP. I wanted to reach out to you regardi.ng recent troubling discoveries in Georgia Charter Schools.

In Georgia, there are a network of charter schools where there have been serious allegations of, or highly suspected activities of financial rnismanagernent, suspected fraud, apparent self-dealing, discrimination, an.d unusual immigration/visa practices.

We represent the Republic of Turkey regarding an investigation of an exiled imam named Fetullah Gulen, who resides in Pennsylvania and surreptitiously oversees a nationwide network of nearly 200 charter schools. Amsterdam & Partners LLP has spent more than two years thoroughly researching and gathering information about these schools from public sources and former employees, parents and students in Georgia. We just released the findings in a book titled, Empire of Deceit: An Investigation of the GO/en Charter School Network www.empireofdeceit.com

Key Charter School Networik Findings: • Misuse of taxpayer funds totaling at least $243 million. • More than 6,504 H-1 B visas to import unqualified Turkish teachers at a public cost of as much as $26 mil.I.ion and

lost jobs for American teachers. • Nearly 81,000 students enrolled at G0.len schools across 27 states and the District of Columbia. • _Widespread manipulation of state mandated testing, grades and attendance figures.

Georgia has 1 school (Fulton Science Academy Private School) with 515 students with a total of $2,312,428 in revenue with 61 H-1B employees.

Please see the Georgia specific fact sheet HERE, and the Georgia Chapter HERE.

I would also encourage you to view portions of Mark Hall's dOCUJ11entary, Killing Ed, located on the website. Mr. Hall, independently from Amsterdam & Partners, has been actively researching and filrning these same issues since 2011.

We are continuing to do work in Georgia on these Gulen Schools and want to ensure you're fully aware and you and your staff have the opportunity to be briefed on this issue.

MEETING REQUEST: Would you be available for a call and/or in person meeting to discuss this pressing issue further? We can make ourselves available whenever your schedule permits.

We also welcome any questions. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

Dear Mr. Auerbach,


My nal)le is John Martin, and I am an attorney with the law finm Amsterdam & Partners LLP. I wanted to reach out to you regarding recent troubling discoveries in Maryland Charter Schools.

In Maryland, there are a network of charter schools where there have been serious allegations of, or highly suspected activities of financial mismanagement, suspected fraud, apparent self-dealing, discrimination, and unusual immigration/visa practices.

We represent the Republic of Turkey regarding an investigation of an exiled imam named Fetullah Gulen, who resides in Pennsylvania and surreptitiously oversees a nationwide network of nearly 200 charter schools. Amsterdam & Partners LLP has spent more than two years thoroughly researching and gathering information a.bout these schools from public sources and former employees, parents and students in Maryland. We just released the findings in a book titled, Empire afDeceit: Ah lnves(igatian of the Galen Chatter School Network www.empireofdeceit.com
