Local activist Sir Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, was sentenced to prison time after creating a fake non-profit organization associated with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement to defraud donors and supporters of the cause to fund his shopping sprees.

Page was given 42 months of prison time for his crimes after being found guilty in April. He was charged with with one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering, according to WTOL.

In 2020, FBI's National Threat Operations Center received a complaint alleging that Page was accessing and misusing funds intended for the BLM movement by posing as a leader of the movement. Subsequent investigation found that he had created a social media page titled Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta (BLMGA).

A press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Ohio indicated that BLMGA had been listed as a non-profit organization capable of accepting donations on social media, with about 18,000 people donating to Page's fake charity through its Facebook account. It was also listed the same way on GoFundMe, and had built up a noticeable presence on the crowdfunding website.

An FBI news release demonstrates that Page opened a bank account titled "Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, Inc.", on which he was the sole signatory. The account only made small transactions from April 2018 until May 2020, and its balance never exceeded $5,000.

Later, the account began receiving larger donations, with BLMGA's social media receiving $36,493.80 in June, $370,933.69 in July and $59,914.69 in August.

When users inquired about what the funds would be used for in private messages to his profiles, Page assured them that "none of the funds have been used for personal items. All movement related."

However, a debit card linked to BLMGA's bank account was used repeatedly by Page to make personal purchases, including food, dining, entertainment, clothing, furniture, a home security system, tailored suits and accessories.

Other purchases include a pistol and two rifles, for which Page transferred money from the BLMGA account into his personal account, and a $112,000 property including a house and a vacant lot right next to it.

In total, Page spent over $200,000 of donation funds on personal expenses. He was arrested in Sept. 2020.

"Fake Black Lives Matter Leader"

Is there another kind I haven't heard about?

[Harpotoo]

Another black on black crime.
What’s new about that?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

That is what is known in the Negro community as a "redbone".
That's what they are called.

[StAnDeliver]

Put him in a cell with Diddy.

He is one weird looking dude

Fake Black Lives Matter Leader...

As opposed to the genuine black Lives Matter leaders who defrauded their donors.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yes, he's almost albino. Some would consider him an albino. Albino's are supposed to have some supernatural powers. (see the movie or book "God's Little Acre" by Erskine Caldwell).

[Right Brother]

Yeah, no kidding! That’s the equivalent of “moral” Marxist.

[SaveFerris]

He went on a supernatural shopping spree!!!

[momincombatboots]

Sounds like the next Al Sharpton.

[Salman]

There’s not a lot of difference between fake Black Lives Matter and “real” Black Lives Matter.

Not guilty.

It should not be a crime to steal white progressives' money. Its a form of reparations owed to former decedents of slaves as payback for centuries of abuse by the democratic party.

[Fireone]

Is anyone surprised?

[heartwood]

What about the ones who bought houses?

What’s the issue here, trademark infringement?

[frank ballenger]

Like Richard Pryor in Superman III he should have used some of the stolen BLM money to buy a red Ferrari 308 GTS Spider.

Nostalgia TV note.
On the 1950s TV series of the Adventures of Superman, George Reeves drove around in a 1952 Nash-Healey convertible as Clark Kent, but cub reporter Jimmy Olsen’s 1956 turquoise and white Dodge Custom Royal Lancer stole the show in the fifth season as he finally obtains a car of his own.
