Black Lives Matter suing Soros-backed Tides Foundation over missing $33M
The New York Post ^ | 09/30/2025 | Isabel Vincent

Posted on 09/30/2025 6:53:08 PM PDT by thegagline

The national Black Lives Matter movement claims $33.4 million of its cash is being withheld by one of its progressive partner organization***

In a scathing lawsuit, Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation accuse the Tides foundation — backed by George Soros — of alleged “deceptive business practices” as well as “egregious mismanagement” of its money, while demanding its return.

The lawsuit was filed last year, but the stakes were raised on Monday when the BLMGNF — which oversees its other regional operations — asked the California Attorney General to step in and investigate Tides.

Even during the course of the lawsuit, BLMGNF accuses Tides of spending $6 million of their donations, despite promising to freeze any cash belonging to the group during the litigation, according to one of their lawyers.

“My client now has to pay money just to get their own money back, after my client raised 100% of it,” said Lawrence Segal, representing BLMGNF. *** “More than $1 million has been spent by Tides out of my client’s money just on attorney’s fees —possibly to pay their own lawyers,” said Segal. “It appears that they are paying themselves from charitable donations in order to pay the legal fees that resulted from this case.” BLMGNF began its relationship with Tides soon after it set up its movement in 2013.

***>P> Things got complicated after huge amounts of money poured in following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020, with BLM taking in some $90 million in donations between 2020 and 2022.

However, that was a drop in the ocean to Tides, which oversees more than $1.4 billion in cash from myriad nonprofits, but commingles all funds, the lawsuit claims***

Two left-wing, anti-American grifters going at it.

Bets on whether cries of racism or antisemitism come first.

LOL...Best guess: grifting Patrisse Marie Khan-Cullors Brignac (née Cullors-Brignac) who founded BLM and stole BLM money for her LA Area houses is out of money.

Are the REALLY a 501c organization? Last I heard they were not! Needs a deep IRS investigation!

This time, I’m rooting for the lawyers on both sides, so they can drain both organizations.

Corporate America stopped donating to BLM and they've got bills to pay.

Gotta find money somewhere!
