BLM executive 'siphoned' $10M, lawsuit says | Rush Hour

Black Lives Matter leaders filed a lawsuit Friday after allegations that an executive stole millions of donations to the organization and used them as his own “personal piggy bank.”

26 different BLM chapters filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles superior court claiming that Shalomyah Bowers, the head of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (BLMGNF), a subsidiary of the BLM organization, used $10 million of charitable contributions for his personal use.

"Things start out as a movement, then become a business and end up as a racket!"

Never truer than here, LOL!!

[janibeg]

a classic ploy. Hire your own "company" and pay it millions for doing nothing special.

Did this guy really think he could take $10 mill and it wouldn't be noticed?

[mrgallagher]

whoever has been stealing the money, I hope they get to share a prison cell with Steve Bannon because they deserve to be together.

BLM have saved a negative of about 50 lives.

[propheteyebert]

Good. The money does less harm lining this dude's Lamborghini than in BLM coffers.

$10 mil no federal income tax paid but no jail time.

"The infighting among activists has been escalating 😅🤣👌"

[devink.hansen]

It’s obvious he kept the money for himself

[zerg]

Here’s a question… which hole do a stick a hose in to suck 10 mill out?

[dchen]

BLM, Tiffany Henyard, Kwame Kilpatrick, etc. What do these people all have in common?

[alb]

This is why I am so hesitant to donate to any charity including Go Fund Me causes which people now start for any and everything!

[ohsnapsonbro]

Love how they cant blame racism for this.

[AllAboutPurple]

The BLM SAGA continues. I can’t believe people donated their money to this…..

[KWL]

It's EASIER to hear Nichole cover this cause she's not a House Girl like Adrienne.

[Bluemooque]

They destroyed the movement with greed. Such a shame
