Well, consider me intrigued about this one:
The leader of the national Black Lives Matter group has been accused of stealing more than $10 million from the charity's donors.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots, a nonprofit group that represents local BLM chapters across the country, accused the BLM Global Network Foundation and its board secretary, Shalomyah Bowers, in a lawsuit Thursday of fraudulently siphoning over $10 million in "fees" to Bowers's consulting firm. The lawsuit, which was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, says Bowers treated the BLM Global Network Foundation as his "personal piggy bank" and has acted as a "rogue administrator" and "middle man turned usurper."
You know, I have to say, this is very shocking. I mean, for the past few years Black Lives Matter has pulled down tens upon tens of millions of dollars in funding, they've been totally opaque about how they're spending it, the group's leadership has been caught buying lavish mansions in hugely expensive real estate markets...and you're telling me one of their leaders might be a complete and total ten-million-dollar fraudster??
I'm sure the judge that gets this lawsuit is going to be very eager to learn all the facts about this case — and about BLM's finances too.
