 Who are the fools who donate to this shlt?

 

The FBI has arrested the founder of a Black Lives Matter group in Atlanta on fraud and money laundering charges.

Sir Maejor Page, 32, was accused Friday of misappropriating $200,000 in donations he solicited through Facebook on behalf of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, Fox 5 Atlantareported Friday.

Page was released on bond after appearing before a judge via video. He did not immediately return messages Saturday from Fox News.

The FBI opened an investigation last year after a cooperating witness submitted a fraud complaint against Page, whose real name is Tyree Conyers-Page, FBI agent Matthew Desorbo said in the complaint.

Page founded Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta in 2016 and this year took in more than $466,000 in donations in June, July and August, Desorbo said.

"In sum, Page has spent over $200,000 on personal items generated from
donations received through BLMGA Facebook page with no identifiable purchase or expenditure
for social or racial justice," he said.

The FBI said Page pledged to use those donations "for George Floyd" but instead used the money make purchases related to food, dining, entertainment, clothing, furniture, a home security system, tailored suits and accessories.

According to the bureau, Page also used $112,000 of the donated money to purchase a house for himself in Toledo, Ohio. The transaction took place last month.

Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta could not solicit donations after losing its tax-exempt status as a charity in 2019 for failing to submit to the IRS 990 tax returns listing donations and expenditures.

Fox 5 reported in 2016 that Page became a familiar face at Black Lives Matter marches in Atlanta to protest fatal police shootings.

He was part of a group of Black activists who met with then-Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed to demand changes in police training and tactics. Page even spoke at a joint news conference, according to the station.

At the time, Page had been arrested several times for impersonating a police officer, the station reported..

According to the station, months earlier Page had parted ways with the Black Lives Matter of Atlanta movement before forming Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta.

Misappropriated Funds is a good fantasy team name.

Did he put Soros on his Christmas Card list?

At least this is $200k that didn’t go straight to the DNC. 

[Mark Davis 167]

Well, you know what they say about a fool and his money.  And to be real, this guy spent the money on a more worthy cause.  I say kudos.

[Voltaire 4,558]

In fairness, if I raised $200G for Black Lives Matter, I'd do the same thing.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

They should not allow writeoffs for BLM "donations".

I would have spent the money more wisely though.

[Voltaire 4,558]

There's probably some scam like this one that I can safely run from China to absorb some Soros/Bezos's ex-wife money/ dumb leftist money but I'm too stupid/lazy/ethical to try to pull it off.

Yeah he should have spent some of that money on some pigmentation.
