Atlanta activist spent $200,000 in BLM donations on house, personal expenses
[Fox via WND] The FBI has arrested the founder of a Black Lives Matter group in Atlanta on fraud and money laundering charges.
That’ll be the result of those investigations into the financial side of the network that Attorney General Barr has been promising, methinks.
Sir Maejor Page, 32, was accused Friday of misappropriating $200,000 in donations he solicited through Facebook on behalf of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, Fox 5 Atlanta reported Friday.

Page was arrested in Toledo and released on bond after appearing before a judge via video. He did not immediately return messages Saturday from Fox News.

#3 BLM has Black on Black crime.
Of course the BLM and media will now attempt to play up that he looks to have more Red-Bone White than Black in him.


QUESTION
Why was he in OHIO if he operates the RACIST Atlanta BLM chapter? Was he on the run, or joining OHIO protests

Atlanta is where the black money is. Willie Sutton explained it long ago.

#11 More from the Fox News article to warm our sentimental hearts:

The Toledo FBI office opened an investigation last year after a cooperating witness submitted a fraud complaint against Page, whose real name is Tyree Conyers-Page, FBI agent Matthew Desorbo said in the complaint.

Page founded Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta in 2016 and this year took in more than $466,000 in donations in June, July and August, Desorbo said.

Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta could not solicit donations after losing its tax-exempt status as a charity in 2019 for failing to submit to the IRS 990 tax returns listing donations and expenditures.

Page had been arrested several times for impersonating a police officer, the station reported..

According to the station, months earlier Page had parted ways with the Black Lives Matter of Atlanta movement before forming Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta.

#12 Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta could not solicit donations after losing its tax-exempt status as a charity in 2019 for failing to submit to the IRS 990 tax returns listing donations and expenditures.

There are two reasons those returns did not get filed; sheer incompetence or (most likely) submitting them would reveal the fraud or the return would had to have been falsified in such a manner in order to hide this stuff, which itself is fraud. Since these tax returns are a matter of public record, apparently that wasn't an option, either; he's fucked no matter what.

#13 I think everybody is missing the real story here. The salient tale is not about tax returns or fraud. No, the proverbial takeaway is that this imbecile changed his name TO Sir Maejor and this country is so safe and abundant that he was actually walking around without a keeper.

Worse than that, Rob. PJ Media links to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, which reports:

But others who claim to carry the Black Lives Matter mantle denounce him as a fraud, a violent homophobe and a con-artist who started his own group Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta after he was bounced out of the city’s official chapter.

“Who is he and why does he keep showing up at protests?” asked Dawn O’Neal a leader in the Black Lives Matter and in Rise Up Georgia, a group that does a lot of work around mental health. “How is he in a meeting with the mayor when the people who set it up were not allowed in? He is a dangerous person with violent tendencies, who seeks out the press and follows the work that we have been doing and gets in front of the camera. Enough is enough.”
