DOJ Launches Investigation Into Whether Black Lives Matter Leaders Defrauded Donors
Quote:The Justice Department has launched an investigation into whether Black Lives Matter leaders defrauded donors of tens of millions of dollars.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF) raised over $90 million in 2020 during and after the George Floyd riots. They also raised more than $75 million in 2021.
The donations to BLMGNF have significantly dwindled in recent years because the majority of the public no longer supports Black Lives Matter.
The Associated Press reported that DOJ prosecutors have already issued subpoenas and “at least one search warrant.”
No other details about the investigation were released.
Fox News also reported that prosecutors are investigating BLM leaders.
AP reported:
The Justice Department is investigating whether leaders in the Black Lives Matter movement defrauded donors who contributed tens of millions of dollars during racial justice protests in 2020, according to multiple people familiar with the matter.
In recent weeks, federal law enforcement officials have issued subpoenas and at least one search warrant as part of an investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. and other Black-led organizations that helped spark a national reckoning on systemic racism, said the people, who were not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal probe by name and spoke on condition of anonymity to The Associated Press.
It was not clear if the investigation would result in criminal charges, but its mere existence invites fresh scrutiny to a movement that in recent years has faced criticism about its public accounting of donations they have received. The recent burst of investigative activity is also unfolding at a time when civil rights groups have raised concerns about the potential for the Trump administration to target a broad variety of progressive and left-leaning groups that have been critical of him, including those affiliated with BLM, the transgender rights movement and anti-ICE protesters.
Last year the former head of Black Lives Matter Atlanta was sentenced to prison for stealing donations to fund his lavish lifestyle.
Tyree Conyers-Page was sentenced to 42 months in prison after he was found guilty on one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering.
Page isn’t the only BLM member who lived a lavish lifestyle after the George Floyd riots in 2020.
Marxist BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors went on a real estate buying spree after the George Floyd riots.
Patrisse Khan-Cullors, a self-described “trained Marxist” bought not just one, but four high-end homes.
In 2021, Patrisse Cullors resigned as executive director after what she called a smear campaign from ‘right wing groups’ over her real estate buying spree.

Who would have ever imagined...a scam nonprofit that shook down corporate coffers run by race baiting Marxists with no experience or oversight:... of course they lined their pockets like Imelda Marcos.

I'd imagine that will be a quick DOJ investigation.

Great marketing branding.
Black Lives Matter. Sounds reasonable, right? Of course, Black Lives Matter. All lives do (whoops!)..
When it all comes out in the wash, the same people that came up with that name probably came with No Kings. Enough suburban white women are always suckers for the schmaltz.

No. They're not the same people.
The No Kings folks spent a lot of money on their protests.
The BLM people MADE a lot of money on theirs.
Not the same people at all.

Not like BLM. They extorted millions from the biggest corporations in the country. It was fraud on a scale that has never been seen before.

in this case, fraud is fraud ... the scale may be smaller, but the evil and greed funding subversive tactics against the country are the same in scope...
