Hulk Hiding Under Charity Cover

The Hulk Hogan-fronted charity that brags it's raising cash for John Graziano's medical care hasn't paid his family a penny.

Nearly a year after Nick Hogan's crash, Graziano's attorney tells us that they haven't seen one red cent from "The Freedom Group," a charity that Hulk just happened to become the towel-waving spokesbeast for ... a week after the crash.

A source tells us that Freedom raised 60 grand last year, but it's unclear where any of that jack has landed. As we reported, they canceled their biggest fund-raising event -- the National Towel Wave -- because they didn't want to deal with Hogan drama.

UPDATE: High-profile Hogan attorney David Houston says, "To the best of my knowledge, the Graziano family has not requested assistance. A request must be made and go before the Board of Directors before a request can be granted. The J & J recovery fund is only a part of a much larger charity doing other things." Sean Chumura, one of the co-founders of Freedom, tells TMZ that Hulk was actually involved with the charity before the crash and that he's "absolutely not hiding" behind the charity.

61. QUESTION?

No. 54.....are you out of your f**king mind?
Just a question, but how do you compare John's situation to the crazies who have done the things you say?
He didn't murder anyone
Kill any puppies

He was in Iraq and did his duty as a soldier
if that includes defending himself from attack by the enemy, I say he and all the armed forces get a free pass while there.
know what, you are an idiiot to say such things

Yes a few bad apples have done the things you mentioned, but John is the victem in this and he always seems to be forgotten in that respect.
I do believe that a lot of those posting so one sided for the Hogans are agents of the family
how else to explain the polor oppossit views
Facts of the accident are the facts
they don't change and everything points towards Nick as sthe perp in this accident, which really wasn't an accident, add alcohol and fast cars and an over blown ego and the sense of entitlement the Hogans seems to have you have a perfect storm for some thing like this to happen.

It's tragic all around
John will never be the same and Nick will go on when he gets out of jail in Oct. ( early for good time served ) RIGHT!!!!
