TOLEDO, OH- Keep on making those donations people.
The Daily Wire is reporting that a Toledo man who is a self-proclaimed leader of the Black Lives Matter movement in greater Atlanta stands accused of defrauding donors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations, while using a “substantial portion” of those funds for personal expenses,.
That allegedly included buying a house and paying a prostitute.
A federal grand jury in Cleveland last week indicted Sir Maejor Page, 32 and previously known as Tyree Conyers-Page before he apparently knighted himself for three counts of money laundering and one count of wire fraud, the Department of Justice announced.
The DOJ accused Page of creating a 501(c)(3) Facebook page called “Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta,” and then using the page last year—after the IRS revoked its tax-exempt charity status—to raise over $450,000 from donors.
The Toledo Blade reported that several donors were led to believe that Page was using the money for legitimate protesting purposes the indictment read, however he spend the money for personal items, which included entertainment, hotel rooms, clothing, firearms, a house and adjoining vacant lot and payment to a prostitute for sex.
Page spent the money in both Toledo and Atlanta.
“These allegations involve fraudulent misrepresentations that the donations received would support Black Lives Matter (Atlanta, Georgia) when, as stated in the indictment, those funds were actually used by the defendant for personal expenses he incurred in Toledo and elsewhere,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bridget M. Brennan in a DOJ press release.
“It is our sincere hope that these charges help raise awareness about online scams and efforts by some to exploit the name and purpose of non-profit organizations for personal gain.”
