British Black Lives Matter activist Xahra Saleem was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for fraud on Tuesday, after admitting that she spent more than £30,000 in BLM charitable donations to fund her lifestyle.
Muh "lifestyle."
The Bristol activist helped organize a June 2020 march that led to the toppling of a statue of Edward Colston, a Bristol native, 17th-century merchant, member of Parliament, and slave trader. BLM protesters confessed to topping the statue but pleaded not guilty to criminal damage in 2022.
Saleem, a director of the youth charity Changing Your Mindset, set up a GoFundMe page on behalf of the charity to fundraise for the 2020 march. More than 500 donations flooded the GoFundMe page — donations Saleem then transferred to her personal accounts to spend on rent, a new iPhone, hair appointments, clothing, and Uber.
Boston-based BLM activist Monica Cannon-Grant, who led an anti-violence nonprofit, and her husband were accused of using charitable donations to pay for their personal expenses. Cannon-Grant was indicted on 18 fraud-related counts.
Ohioan activist Tyree Conyers-Page was hit with three counts of money laundering and one count of wire fraud after defrauding BLM donors out of $450,000. Conyers-Page claimed to have used the donations to combat racial-injustice, but the FBI discovered that a card linked to the charity’s bank account was used on dining, entertainment, clothing, furniture, and a home-security system. Each fraudster’s registered charity received an influx of donations following the Summer of Rage protests in 2020, which were incited by George Floyd’s death.
According to 2020-2022 federal tax filings, BLM used only one-third of its $90 million in revenue to fund charitable organizations. BLM spent $22 million on expenses, which included a whopping $2.1 million payment to BLM board member Shalomyah Bowers for her consulting services.
George Floyd was the best gift grifting dindus ever received. ;)
