After raising over $100,000 from his fans for a charitable purpose, Breitbart’s Milo Yiannopoulos deposited the money in his own bank account and has made no moves towards distributing the cash to college students as promised, according to a Daily Beast Investigation

In January, Yiannopoulos engaged in a five-hour online streaming marathon to raise cash for “Yiannopoulos Privilege Grants,” $2,500 scholarships to be provided to poor white students, a parody of affirmative action and complaints that whites get a leg up because of their “white privilege.” The project was also heavily promoted by Breitbart, who promised that the first grants would be “issued in time for the start of the 2016-17 academic year.”

But a Daily Beast investigation found Yiannopoulos has taken no steps to distributing the cash or to set up a nonprofit as required by law, despite the fact that the 2016 academic year is days away. In fact, there’s no way for students to even apply for a scholarship.
