This post was deleted by the user last night, for some reason. It was a great post with lots of links, and info in the comments. Here you will find background on Yunus, and the Norway connection.
Summary: Yunus started Grameen Bank and is the father of microlending. He was accused of embezzling Norwegian aide money, but Norway backed him up, and the charges were dropped. Check out Wikipedia stressing that the allegations were false but quickly spread through the media- they all but call the accusations #fakenews©.
Either way, with these allegations haunting him, in March 2011 the Bangladeshi government enforced their retirement age law and ousted him as head of Grameen.
As I dug through the OPs research in that post, I saw that Yunus was in frequent contact with Secretary Clinton during her tenure. You can find quite a few refrences in wikileaks. His name also came up in news stories of Sec. Clinton's tendency to meet mostly with CF donors. He donated $100,000-250,000 + (link via original post), met with Clinton a handful of times, and would email requests for favors via Melanne Verveer.
Verveer was the first United States Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues. Microfinance is in part a women's issue: impoverished women supposedly benefit by the easy-to-get loans. So perhaps it makes sense that the women's issue ambassador would be Yunus's liaison with Clinton, but I found it a little random.
Of note: Verveer has been imbedded in the Clinton machine for some time. She was Bill's assistant and Hillary's Chief of Staff when she was first lady. She founded Vital Voices with Hillary in '97. Their focus: Human trafficking. Veveer is also credited with having a hand in the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act of 2000. A criticism of that act: in order to receive benefits,
a victim of trafficking must prove/admit to being a victim of a severe form of trafficking and second must be a part of the prosecution of his or her trafficker.
....Since the law requires the applicant to become part of the prosecution of his or her trafficker, trafficked persons may be fearful of retaliation upon the self or the family and thus serves as a major deterrent to individuals even considering application.
The act also created the Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.
So, I think there is a lot worth digging through here-Veveer, Yunus's pay to play with CF, and LOTS more info in the original post. FBIanon did say be careful about Yunus- I hope the author of the original post on this wasn't spooked or something! ;) FYI, this post (and poster) is not suicidal.

Someone needs to look into the Bangledash NGO- Center for Mass Education in Science (CMES) in particular the program Adolescent Girls Program (AGP). This was created by Yunus' brother Muhammad Ibrahim and is connected to Yunus. Please, I would but I have no computer skills.
