"Meanwhile, much larger issues surround Clinton family connections to Laureate Education Inc., its key executives, investors, and affiliates. Do not listen to surface level media reports that fail to consider the complete public record."
So I googled this Laureate Education Inc. and I found this article where the CF and Soros are involved in a scandal and in which Charles Ortel is quoted.
This is a very important point and worth significant "digging" itself! Laureate Education definitely looks equally as, if not more, sketchy than the Foundation.
Laureate was in 29 countries as of 2015, with the highest concentration in Latin America.
Ortel goes into the best briefing about Laureate in his interview with John B. Wells (zap a couple into your phone for later listening - Ortel is very user-friendly!) but the corporate history, especially its connection with Bill Clinton, on Wikipedia is a good introductory read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laureate_International_Universities
Note the "Operations" section, which is a good at-a-glance look at the scale of money which goes in and out of Laureate. It also notes that it is well connected to yet ANOTHER entity, the Clinton Global Initiative University (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinton_Foundation#CGI_University)). The number of countries involved, combined with the assortment of legal entities, could certainly provide plenty of opportunities for "creative accounting".
Between 2010 and 2015, "Honorary Chancellor" Bill Clinton was awarded about $16.5 million. Laureate's largest backers include George Soros, Paul Allen, Henry Kravis, and Steve Cohen.

For more about Laureate's financial picture, here's an article about a 2015 IPO when Laureate was $4.7 billion in debt after what some might think overly quick expansion: http://www.baltimoresun.com/business/bs-bz-laureate-ipo-folo-20151005-story.html
