October 12, 2023 – Theft Suspension and Removal from ICCD Board

September 10, 2025 – Theft Attempt – Fabricated Resolution Incident

ICCD records indicate that on September 10, 2025:

• A resolution was drafted and circulated by Mr. Hassan without a board meeting.
• The Treasurer and Vice President were asked to sign after being told the resolution had already been approved by the President.
• The President later clarified that no such approval had been given and attempted to verify the situation with both officers.

Before verification could occur, Mr. Hassan transported the Treasurer to the bank and attempted to add himself as an account signer.
The bank declined the request due to security restrictions previously placed on the account (see attached fabricated resolution) 

When informed that the Secretary position does not require account‑signing authority, Mr. Hassan responded with statements indicating a desire to assume the presidency.

• Mr. Faiyaz Hassan informed the Treasurer that he did not intend to pay the full agreed‑upon rent of $2,900 for the ICCD‑owned property located at 485 Good Ave, which he was leasing from ICCD.
• He stated that he had been paying only $2,500 out of pocket.
• To cover the remaining $400 each month, he admitted to the Treasurer that he had been taking money from the stakeholder donations box.
• He further stated that he had been doing this for several months without informing or seeking approval from any other board members.

October 19, 2025 – Theft Vice President Testimony Regarding Unauthorized Transfers of Donation Funds 

On October 19, 2025, the ICCD Vice President submitted a testimony documenting another confession from Mr. Hassan:

• Mr. Hassan admitted to the Vice President that he had been taking monthly amounts from stakeholder donations.
• He stated that he was sending these funds to family members overseas, without any board approval or organizational authorization.
• He attempted to persuade the Vice President to agree with this practice so that he “would not feel bad about it.”
• The Vice President immediately reported the matter to the board, and the testimony was formally recorded (see attached Vice President testimony).

Post‑Removal Activities Affecting ICCD Operations

Following his removal, ICCD documented several actions by Mr. Hassan that affected community stability:

1. Hijack and Misuse of ICCD WhatsApp Group

The ICCD WhatsApp group—originally created on Mr. Hassan’s personal device—was used to:

• Spread misleading information
• Attack current board members
• Create confusion and instability within the community

This behavior disrupted community harmony and damaged ICCD’s public reputation.

2. Unauthorized Fraud Alterations to State Records

ICCD leadership discovered attempts to:

• Modify Secretary of State filings
• Remove legitimate trustees
• Add unauthorized individuals

These actions were reported as violations of ICCD’s legal governance structure.

3. Theft Attempt – Creation of Independent Donation Channels

Mr. Hassan recently announced:

• A new domain name: iccd-masjid.org
• A personal Zelle account: donate@iccd-masjid.org
• Requests for community donations

These actions were not authorized by ICCD and pose significant risk to community members who may mistakenly believe they are donating to the organization.

Community Advisory

Based on the documented incidents above, ICCD leadership advises community members to:

• Avoid engaging with unauthorized donation channels
• Verify all ICCD communications through official channels only
• Report suspicious activity to ICCD leadership and appropriate authorities
• Share this information responsibly to protect the community and prevent further confusion

This report is intended to inform, protect, and unify the ICCD community through transparency and factual documentation.

• Mr. Hassan’s dismissal from the ICCD Board,
• His permanent removal from all governance roles, and

These actions were taken to protect ICCD’s financial integrity, uphold fiduciary standards, and ensure that community donations are safeguarded.
