FILE - In this Feb. 1, 2014 file photo, Raul Moas, center rear, executive director of the nonprofit organization Roots of Hope, addresses a group during a "Hackathon for Cuba" event run by Roots of Hope in Miami. A group of technology experts gathered to come up with ways to use their hacking ability to improve Internet access and information in Cuba. Cuba routinely blocks Internet pages that it finds objectionable. Leaders with the largest nonprofit organization for young Cuban-Americans quietly provided strategic support for the federal government’s secret "Cuban Twitter" program, connecting contractors with potential investors and even serving as paid consultants, The Associated Press has learned. For a period of about three months, Moas was significantly involved in the now-defunct ZunZuneo program, including reviewing some of the project’s test text messages to those on the island and approaching potential investors, according to the documents.
