A BLM activist has been charged over a huge fraud which is said to have included blowing a grant intended for young men at risk of violence on trips to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Shake Shack and a nail salon.

She is accused of using much of the $1 million raised by her nonprofit Violence in Boston Inc for good causes. Her salary jumped from $25,000 in 2020 to $170,000 in 2021.

Cannon-Grant - once named a Bostonian of the Year by the prestigious Boston Globe newspaper - was arrested at her spacious home last week. She appeared in a federal court Monday alongside husband Clark Grant, 38, with the pair facing 18 separate criminal counts dating from 2017 to July 2021. She has denied all allegations made against her.

Judge Judith Dein raised eyebrows after releasing Cannon-Grant on her own recognizance and saying she could continue to work for Violence in Boston - the nonprofit she's accused of using as a front for her crimes - but that she must not be involved in its finances.

The donors to a Communist organization like Black Lives MatterTM have no standing in court because stealing from the people is exactly what Communist organizations do.

BurnLootMurder - think of all the virtue signaling fool companies who threw money at these professional looters. In a sane world the shareholders would demand those responsible for pissing away tens of millions of company money be fired.

This couple probably made the mistake of being greedy, not passing some of the grift upwards to higher levels rats in MA and the national level.

Politicians helped BLM advertise their criminal enterprises by painting that shit all over the roads. What a bunch of morons. But, morons tend to vote for morons.

BLM was Obama/Holders political brownshirts. They served their purpose.

Now they are no longer needed and TPTB have other political priorities.

The stars, moon and Lucky Charms all came together enabling the dumbest grifters of all, the ability to exploit 50 years of Marxist indoctrination taught in public schools and universities for their immediate benefit. As these grifts are playing out, it will be interesting to see if these big dollar chumps learned anything and will try and get their money back. IMHO, many of these woke CEO’s will double down on the insanity.

Yikes. Though from experience a $1200 hotel stay is not difficult.
