Remember Chen Guangbiao, the Chinese philanthropist who threw Central Park party for needy? Now he's claiming NY group duped him with fake honors.
"Remember the Chinese philanthropist who showed up in New York to offer a couple of hundred homeless people a lunch, which he delivered, and $300 cash payments, which he didn’t? Now he’s upset because he was the victim of a bait-and-switch. Chen Guangbiao likes titles and honors recognizing his philanthropic generosity. Somehow, he deceived himself or was deceived to think that the United Nations had proclaimed him 'world’s most prominent philanthropist' and 'global peace and goodwill ambassador' in honor of his help for homeless New Yorkers." -- Rick Cohen, Nonprofit Quarterly
