The former head of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta has been sentenced to prison on charges of wire fraud and money laundering.
WTVG reports that Tyree Conyers-Page, also known as Sir Maejor Page, was sentenced to serve 42 months in prison in Ohio on Thursday.
Prosecutors said that Page took money donated to his organization through Facebook and used it for travel, personal items, and a home in Toledo, Ohio.
In court, Page claimed some of the money he spent on his own lifestyle was part of a "reasonable salary" for managing the organization - though he admitted to prosecutors he never consulted anyone with the organization about what his pay should have been, the Toledo Blade reported.
Page had been found guilty on one count of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering in April after a six-day trial.

According to an FBI news release, financial scrutiny revealed that from April 2018 to May 2020, the BLMGA bank account, solely managed by Page, showcased minor transactions never exceeding $5,000. However, in the wake of George Floyd’s death, donations surged, with June 2020 witnessing approximately $36,493.80, July 2020 around $370,933.69, and August 2020 an additional $59,914.69 in contributions. These funds were directly transferred to the account operated by "Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, Inc."
Despite assurances from Page that the funds were exclusively used for movement-related purposes, federal investigators say they found lavish expenditures on personal items, including food, entertainment, furniture, and luxury goods throughout June, July, and August 2020. According to court documents, a significant transaction involved the purchase of a residence and an adjacent lot in Toledo for approximately $112,000 in August 2020, attempting to mask ownership through a non-disclosure agreement with Hi Frequency Ohio.

Shocking..
Wall Street insiders steal this much every week and then get subsidized.
AIN’T HE A CUTE MAMA’S BOY?????
The BLM, St. George the Floyd booschidt was never about civil rights. IT WAS ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY!!!! GREEDY THIEVES.
He resembles Lefty.
FOX News reports Page is a former actor who has appeared in small roles on TV shows such as “American Horror Story” and “Constantine.” He dubbed himself “the world’s sexiest Albino model and actor” on his Vimeo account, a video-sharing platform, the Daily Mail reported.
Arrested for dressing up as a cop a couple of times.
A albino Juicy Smollet
These were payoffs disguised as donations from korporations to the Left, paid for by taxpayers since the korporations claimed tax deductions for the "donations".
An a albino black guy?
Beat me to it.
And the cowardly Walz allowed the burning and looting to occur. Now, friends of the Democrat machine will allow their supporters to buy the land for pennies, rebuild, and sell for huge profits, which, of course, are tax free. We know what they are doing. They are evil crooks.
He should take Derek Chauvin’s place.
I was thinking about that last week, after seeing this on Youtube:

I was thinking about Antifa at the time, but it might be BLM movement. Maybe Antifa is BLM special forces. This guy remarked that the arson was carried out by pros from the looks of things.
They’re the wrecking crews working for corrupt city developers: turn the place to ashes so crooks can buy it up, as you note, for pennies on the dollar, rake in Tax incentives and zero environmental impact surveys,etc.
It’s a land grab.
You are speaking the truth.
Here is a powerful and blessed ministry that I’ve come to support:
