Alefantis is GREAT friends with Michael Maccoby whose son is a Director of Friends of the Orphans, the charity Laura Silsby was given children from
Before this becomes gospel I just want to clear something up:
My main problem/question with this is that Laura Silsby is accused of lying about the collapsed orphanage. In that Fox interview Puello says the children came from a collapsed orphanage but other sources say that after an investigation the children were found to have been given away by their parents (they didn't come from an orphanage).

But as reported by the Statesman and elsewhere, the group was stopped at the border and arrested; many of the 33 children on their bus turned out to have been handed over to the Americans by their own family members.

Their stories contradicted Silsby's account that the children came from collapsed orphanages or were handed over by distant relatives.
http://harvardhrj.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/King.pdf <- This document goes over the Silsby thing really well and also says that the children were being handed over by their family members. That was kind of the big deal with Silsby is that she seemed to be lying about where the children were coming from and she was negligent with the paperwork.
The only connection I can see between Silsby and Friends of the Orphans is that Jorge Puello, the missionaries attorney, knew that it existed.

This was already addressed, but I'm not sure if it was deleted. Max Maccoby, who is connected with Friends of the Orphans, was also the Alefantis & Brocks attorney. https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/1525811
