| BLM's millions unaccounted for after leaders quietly jumped ship |
| 2022-01-30 |
Hattip Merrick Ferret in comments just before the rollover last night, who commented, “BLM finished 2020 with $60 million in the bank. They're in turmoil. They fired Cullors, the founder, for corruption & embezzlement. All the BLM leaders have run off. Where did the $60 million go?” [WashingtonExaminer] No one appears to have been in charge at Black Lives Matter for months. The address it lists on tax forms is wrong, and the charity's two board members won't say who controls its $60 million bankroll, a Washington Examiner investigation has found.BLM's shocking lack of transparency surrounding its finances and operations raises major legal and ethical red flags, multiple charity experts told the Washington Examiner. "Like a giant ghost ship full of treasure drifting in the night with no captain, no discernible crew, and no clear direction," CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron said of BLM. |

| #19 Wondering out loud... has anybody check OPENSECRETS.ORG to see how much the retiring (SD's) had in their campaign coffers and which SIG's are collecting BIG $$$$ in 2021 - 2022? |

| #17 Good. That is $60 million that won't fund Democrats in the midterms. |

| #16 This kind of thing happens routinely in my neck of the woods, but on a much smaller and more local scale, something like this: An alleged leader of the Albanian community forms a new outreach organization for the benefit underprivileged Albanians, the Southern Coalition of Albanian Men ("SCAM"). $500,000 in private and public funds are donated to SCAM. Lots of fanfare, big check presented. The next day the president of SCAM is seen tooling around in a top of the line Mercedes with tricked-out chrome wheels. A couple of years go by, and someone thinks to ask what happened to the $500,000. Regrettably, all of SCAM's books and records have been destroyed by an errant North Korean missile. Some recriminations ensue, but after a bit everyone decides that no good can come from an investigation. Life goes back to normal, until the formation of SCAM-2.... |

| #15 #7 Itwas always a money-making racket Merrick, never really about a cause. Took their cues from the old 'Rainbow Push' True, Richard. Jesse and Al were pikers compared to this new wave of race-hustlers. $60m stolen in just a couple years has to be a new record. I hear Ibram [Herbert 92]X Kendi's close behind, though ... he's raked in tens of millions already. |

| #14 It would be very easy to safely launder the $60 million through the magic hall of mirrors structure of dark money political entities like "Arabella." |

| #13 why worry about it? Nothing will ever be done about it, that would be rayciss. |

| #12 Yes, where is RICO and the DOJ? Or has a small percentage of that $$$$$, made it's way quietly into (D) and (S) hands and Liberal SIG campaigns coffers? |

| #11 Most of the money came from white libs buying indulgences for their white guilt. |

| #10 You mean, "All black lives are equal but some black lives are more equal than others"? The $60 mil in donations did improve black lives. Just a much smaller subset of "black lives " than the donors might have imagined. |

| #7 From cause to racket... in record time It was always a money-making racket Merrick, never really about a cause. Took their cues from the old 'Rainbow Push' and other similar organizational playbooks with attention paid to to 'contributions' for protection. See 'Global Warming' and 'Al Gore'. |

| #6 If the GOP does take over both branches this fall, they should rename RICO to bring the ethnic reference up to date for the BLM / CRT racketeering era. Maybe "D'WON"? |

| #4 BLM's shocking lack of transparency surrounding its finances and operations raises major legal and ethical red flags, multiple charity experts told the Washington Examiner. Totally escaped the all knowing eye of the Federal Financial Crimes Enforcement sleuths, the IRS, and the FBI. Foking amazing, no ? |
