Even though BLM has long since been exposed as just another “progressive” fraud, it seems that the anti-police organization still has more skeletons falling out of its ever-expanding closet.
According to a humorous report from Blaze Media, BLM activist Tyree Conyers-Page, who hails from Toledo, Ohio, has recently been busted for stealing nearly half a million in charitable “donations.”
Conyers-Page, who apparently styles himself as Sir Maejor Page, has apparently spent most of his time spending donations on himself, rather than whatever causes the organization was allegedly supposed to support.
Per a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Northern District of Ohio, the so-called BLM activist blatantly “defrauded” donors.
“Sir Maejor Page, 35, of Toledo, has been sentenced to 42 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Helmick after a jury convicted him of wire fraud and money laundering for defrauding donors of more than $450,000 that they collectively gave to his nonprofit ‘Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta’ (BLM of Greater Atlanta) based on Page’s false representations. He was also ordered to pay a $400 special assessment fee,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office declared.
Well then.
Not only did “Sir” Page defraud donors, but he also engaged in money laundering as well.
One can only imagine how many other nefarious activities he was involved in.
“Page used the donations to BLM for his own personal benefit. He purchased entertainment, hotel rooms, clothing, firearms, and a property that he intended to use as his personal residence. He attempted to conceal the purchase of the property by using the name ‘Hi Frequency Ohio’ and asked the seller to sign a nondisclosure agreement that would have prevented the seller from listing Page as the actual buyer,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office continued.
Now that’s hilarious. As if that tactic would not later come back to bite Page … bigtime.
“Page continued to collect donations to his purported social justice charity through the organization’s Facebook page even after its tax-exempt status was revoked for failure to submit IRS Form 990 for three consecutive years. He regularly posted content to Facebook about social and racial issues to give his nonprofit the appearance of legitimacy, despite no longer being tax-exempt,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office added.
Hey, he’s got to keep up the fraud in some way or another, much in the same way his thuggish heroes in Congress do.
U.S. Attorney Rebecca C. Lutzko for the Northern District of Ohio was apparently quite dismayed by Page’s actions, as evident in her own remarks.
“Mr. Page took advantage of a cause meant to fight social injustices, using it instead to line his own pockets with thousands of dollars of donations,” Lutzko declared.
If an organization that’s virulently anti-police can be considered “fighting social injustices.”
“People donate their hard-earned money to support causes they believe in, and when a fraudster like Page comes along and tries to get away with a fake charity scheme, it hurts legitimate nonprofit organizations that rely on the generosity of others to advance their missions and make positive change in the world. This Office will hold accountable those who try to profit by scamming unsuspecting people out of their money like Page did here,” Lutzko added.
Well, for what it’s worth, BLM was clearly a massive scam. Just look at how many celebrities donated to the “cause” … and how many of those same celebrities are caught in rather dark places behind the scenes.
FBI Cleveland Special Agent in Charge Greg Nelsen also claims that the FBI will apparently dedicate additional effort to uncovering
“The FBI will aggressively investigate individuals, like Sir Maejor Page, who engage in fraudulent charity schemes at the expense of the American public. Page is a calculating criminal who willingly conspired to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars through the trusting public. Today’s sentence holds him accountable and demonstrates that the FBI will steadfastly pursue perpetrators who target American citizens,” Nelsen boomed.
Well, it would be nice if the FBI focused more on characters like this, rather than conservative supporters of Trump.
As detailed by Blaze Media, Page offered a litany of pitiable excuses for his inexcusable behavior.
“I never intended to deceive or take advantage of any donors who supported our cause and this movement. There were many nonprofit responsibilities I did not fully understand,” Page whined.
Oh, please.
How much common sense is required to not blow donations on firearms?
How much common sense is required to not engage in money laundering with charitable donations?
Then, most hilariously of all, Page conveniently sidesteps responsibility in his supposed admission of guilt.
“I am deeply sorry. I apologize to those I may have misled or who did not think I was fully transparent,” Page proclaimed.
To those … who did not think that Page was transparent? How about individuals who know that Page was not transparent?
Talk about a failure to exhibit even a modicum of accountability …
