Activist for Black Lives Matter sentenced to over two years for fraud

[LawEnforcementToday] Given how DC types want to be like the EU, maybe they'll have DOJ start locking up our own BLM/ANTI-FA Riot organizing $$$$$ milkers
LONDON – A Black Lives Matter activist has found herself sentenced to prison after raising roughly $39,000 which she used to pay for her lifestyle. The woman will serve just over two years in prison and has resigned from her post with a nonprofit which is now defunct.

Xahra Saleem was once the director of a nonprofit, Changing Your Mindset, until recently when she found herself in trouble for funneling thousands of dollars meant to go to the disadvantaged youth in Bristol into her own bank account. Saleem, in addition to being the director of the nonprofit, was an organizer for Black Lives Matter during a protest in June of 2020.

Instead of using the money that was raised to help the children in Bristol, Saleem used the money to purchase a new iPhone, Amazon orders, taxis, beauty appointments, among other things.

The money that was meant for children went to furnish Saleem’s lavish lifestyle thanks to moving the cash raised into her personal account instead of opening a business account.

According to the BBC, Saleem admitted to a friend of hers on WhatsApp that she had done something “horrendous” in June of 2021.

“I have done something horrendous, you can’t tell anyone until I have properly sorted it out,” she told the friend.

She also allegedly told others that she had intended to turn herself in to law enforcement when it became apparent she was going to be caught. However, that never came to pass.

#2  Also - note this - this is what actual fraud looks like, in comparison to what Trump's being charged with.

#1  Let's just say this - the money used for 'beauty appointments' didn't help!
