BLM activist named 'Bostonian of the year' whose nonprofit raised $1M is charged with squandering much of it on rent arrears, $1,200 hotel stay and meals at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. and Shake Shack after being arrested at her $450,000 home
2022-03-17
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, and her husband Clark Grant, 38, of Taunton, used Violence in Boston Inc. funds to pay for personal expenses

  • Those included outings at Shake Shack, Bubba Gump Shrimp Company and other restaurants, while they also booked a vacation to Maryland

  • They also fraudulently applied for federal Pandemic Unemployment Assistance, while having other sources of income and lied about their mortgage

  • Both were charged in an 18-count indictment with wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements to a mortgage lending business

  • On Tuesday, Cannon-Grant appeared in a Boston federal court for her indictment

  • Both have made more than $100,000 in pandemic-related unemployment benefits, while Cannon-Grant also made $33,426 in 'diversity' consulting fees

  • Cannon-Grant's activism has previously earned her numerous accolades, such as Boston Globe Magazine's Bostonian of the Year award in 2020

#12  To no one's surprise, the outfit that awarded this grifter 'Bostonian of the Year' is the Boston Globe.
Well no shit. She followed the rules exactly. They should give her even more awards, maybe the Presidential Medal of Freedom

My rule of thumb concerning BLOM and/or other organizations, groups, Media outlets, churches, or Person(s) that exist solely by blaming another group for their problems while not working within their collective on ways to solve the issue.

Are just typical previvors of Hate speech and Pimping Racism for fame and/or fortune. That the media loves to flaunt for viewership and AD $$$$

I believe we all could recite a dozen examples off the tops of our heads.

#7  To no one's surprise, the outfit that awarded this grifter 'Bostonian of the Year' is... The Boston Globe, her primary cheerleader the past two years. Plenty of more dirt on this cow at the link.

#5  Hey, didn't I see that story on MSNBC? No, wait a minute...never mind. I must be confusing that with the expose they did on Hunter Biden.

#4  Is it still "charity" when the money that could have gone to widows and orphans goes to scammers instead? As for the "donors," Riverboat Slim's dictum remains in effect: "Suckers aren't supposed to have money..."
