Boston BLM activist Monica Cannon-Grant is pictured outside court after denying that she and her husband blew thousands in charity donations on blow-out dinners, vacations and nail salon trips

A Black Lives Matter activist and her husband both pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that they defrauded donors who gave to their nonprofit and spent most of the $1 million raised for their own personal gain. Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, and Clark Grant, 38, used the funds from the charity to pay for restaurant meals, vacations and trip to the nail salon, an 18-page indictment handed down by a federal grand jury earlier this month alleges. They're also accused of illegally collecting an estimated $100,000 in pandemic unemployment benefits and lying on a mortgage application.

The couple founded nonprofit Violence in Boston in 2017, which received significant attention at the height of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement in 2020.

On Tuesday, they pleaded not guilty to wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements on a mortgage application, when they appeared at their virtual arraignment.

Assistant US Attorney Adam Deitch told the judge on Tuesday that the case against the couple is 'complex' and involves a 'massive' amount of evidence. He requested four weeks to produce the first load of documents, which was granted.

A hearing is set for May 23.

If this was a movie, a hand would suddenly be thrust into Monica’s face and somebody would snatch that Painter’s Mask off before she could say ‘BLM Money Matters!’ There she would stand, ‘exposed’ for the world to see!.

BLM Antifa and all the rioters LOVE the mask mandates and culture. It used to be considered criminal to be wearing masks.

Riddle me this: how does BLM qualify as a “charity”?

What in hell do they do that is charitable?

BLM is a terrorist criminal organization. Why would anyone be surprised by this?
