The drama continues inside the nonprofit organization that became synonymous with a nationwide protest movement against police violence. This time, an argument over millions of dollars might play out in open court.

A lawsuit filed in Los Angeles accuses Shalomyah Bowers, a consultant brought in to help run the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation of pilfering $10 million in funds away from the organization’s grassroots wing. The suit names Bowers, a consulting firm he runs and BLMGNF as defendants and accuses Bowers specifically of “siphoning” money contributed by donors from the on-the-ground activists it was intended to help.

The suit calls Bowers “a rogue administrator” who over 18 months did “irreparable harm” to the organization.

“...Mr. Bowers decided he could not let go of his personal piggy bank, when more than 300 movement leaders, as well as BLM Founders, insisted he resign from GNF. Instead he continued to betray the public trust by self-dealing and breaching his fiduciary duties,” the lawsuit reads.

In a statement on its website, Bowers and the foundation denied the allegations and characterized the lawsuit as a distraction from more important issues.

“We should be focused on the work - the work of liberation and Black joy. Instead, we face, yet again, another round of struggle for ‘control’ of one organization,” the statement read.

The latest allegations, which Bowers and the foundation deny, follow a pattern of mismanagement and accusations of financial impropriety inside the foundation, which many still view as inseparable from broader social justices movements.

BLMGNF is currently led by a triumvirate of Cicley Gay, D’Zhane Parker and Bowers, who was brought on in 2020 by co-founder Patrisse Cullors. Cullors left he organization in May 2021 . In May of this year, Gay, Parker and Bowers held a press conference...

Defund the lawyers. That just might work.

BLM was a commie run scam from day one. It never was something that could be harmed ... except by telling the truth about it. The useful idiots that supported it would have done Stalin’s useful idiots proud.

[Honest Nigerian]

State and Federal RICO laws should be used against the entire BLM franchise.

Lawsuit? Why isn’t the thief in Jail?

[Bullish]

Well, they sure look all prudent and ethical, huh? NOT!

They are exactly what one should expect from a leftist group... Nothing but Frikkin' thieves.

BLM was a grift. I still can't believe how many large public
companies jumped on board.

Donations toward BLM went through ActBlue. Which means most of it went to the DNC and probably helped a racist old white guy Joe Biden run for president. It was always a scam and everyone who donated was an idiot. As they say “a fool and his money is soon parted”
Wonder if Dems will try to run the BLM scam again in 2024? I’d hope that people would have smartened up and not donate but I doubt it

[Fido969]

The feds, all over the Trump organization looking for something, have ignored the wholesale theft of BLM.

[T Ruth]

The money is better spent by the scammer on his bling and his amusements than on BLM rioting.

LOL that woke corporations got scammed.

Lawless Biden's lawless IRS will make no inquiries about this.

[livius]

“Shalomyah”...?

Anyway, it was always a politically motivated (and thus tolerated) fraud.

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

I like to scam you, but then again
That doesn't mean your Leftist creds are gone
So if I rob you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell the evening news I’m stealing cash
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

I got my mansions with stolen cash
I hide the cash transfers in bank accounts
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know you know I got no salary
I'm not a thief, no-no
(It's because...)

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

Ooh, the suckers threw cash at me
Ooh, the suckers threw cash

I'm not a thief, so don't forget it
It's just a grifting phase I'm going through
And just because I took your cash
Your virtue signal’s still a badge you wear, ooh

I'm not a thief, I'm not a thief…
