You may not have heard the news, but another BLM top gun has been caught stuffing his pockets with millions of dollars. The previous thief stole millions also, some of the money went to pay for her mansion.
These people are from the “hood” where stealing is their life’s work. You get it when you can is their motto.
Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigns amid controversy – “it’s my money”
By
The embattled co-founder of Black Lives Matter announced on Thursday that she’s resigning as executive director amid criticism over her lavish lifestyle.
Patrisse Cullors, 37 — who has been at the helm of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation for nearly six years — said she is leaving to focus on a book and TV deal.
Her last day with the foundation is Friday. The 37-year-old activist’s finances came under scrutiny last month after it was reported she owned four homes. Bet she didn’t have any homies living in them.
“I’ve created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,” Cullors said. “It feels like the time is right.”
But her resignation comes amid controversy over the group’s finances and Cullors’ personal wealth — including an alleged real estate buying spree in which she snagged four high-end homes for $3.2 million in the US, according to property records reported last month.
Black Lives Matter leader accused of stealing $10 million from organization
The leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has been accused by former colleagues of stealing more than $10 million in donations from the organization for personal use, according to a lawsuit filed in court this week.
Shalomyah Bowers was called in the court filing as a “rogue administrator, a middle man turned usurper” who siphoned contributions to the nonprofit activist group to use as a “personal piggy bank,” according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday.
Bowers’ actions led the foundation into investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and various state attorneys general, “blazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM in less than eighteen months,” the suit claims. “While BLM leaders and movement workers were on the street risking their lives, Mr. Bowers remained in his cushy offices devising a scheme of fraud and misrepresentation to break the implied-in-fact contract between donors and BLM.”
The suit, filed by Black Lives Matter Grassroots, was light on details of the alleged theft of funds, but delved into the fissures within the network of Black Lives Matter groups, charting changes in leadership and power that left Bowers with tight control of the organization.
Bowers and his group denied all claims of financial misconduct and chastised those suing him for “falling victim to the carceral logic and social violence that fuels the legal system” in taking legal action against him.
Ex-BLM leader says he quit after learning the ‘ugly truth’ about the organization and claims they have ‘little concern for rebuilding black families’
- Rashad Turner, who founded the local BLM chapter in St. Paul, Minnesota, in 2015, released a video last week titled ‘The Truth Revealed about BLM’
- In the video, Turner said he eventually came to the realization that BLM had ‘little concern for rebuilding black families’ and that he’d learned the ‘ugly truth’
- His video also highlighted how BLM’s website once stated that it wanted to ‘disrupt the nuclear family structure’
- Turner’s comments about the BLM organization come less than a week after its national co-founder Patrisse Cullors revealed she was stepping down
- Cullors faced criticism in recent weeks after it emerged she had amassed a $3 million property portfolio despite describing herself as a ‘trained Marxist’
