The leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation has been accused by former colleagues of stealing more than $10 million in donations from the organization for personal use, according to a lawsuit filed in court this week.

Shalomyah Bowers was called in the court filing as a “rogue administrator, a middle man turned usurper” who siphoned contributions to the nonprofit activist group to use as a “personal piggy bank,” according to the lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Thursday.

Bowers’ actions led the foundation into investigations by the Internal Revenue Service and various state attorneys general, “blazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM in less than eighteen months,” the suit claims. “While BLM leaders and movement workers were on the street risking their lives, Mr. Bowers remained in his cushy offices devising a scheme of fraud and misrepresentation to break the implied-in-fact contract between donors and BLM.”

Bowers and his group denied all claims of financial misconduct and chastised those suing him for “falling victim to the carceral logic and social violence that fuels the legal system” in taking legal action against him.

“They would rather take the same steps of our white oppressors and utilize the criminal legal system which is propped up by white supremacy (the same system they say they want to dismantle) to solve movement disputes,” the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation’s board of directors said in a joint statement.

This dude and Shaun King are such grifters it’s insane.

DeRay McKesson is the only one who is for real within the hierarchy of that movement. I almost felt bad for him because most around him weren’t looking at it the same way he was.

If you actually studied the situation, you would realize quickly that there was no single "BLM" organization. BLM was more of a movement. Quite a few organizations advertised/claimed to be the organization standing for BLM movement, and within that were several that took advantage of the situation with fraud/scam.

Proud Boys is one organization and represents white supremacy. No corporation will ever openly embrace them. Just like no corporation will ever openly embrace the views of Farrakhan (leader of Nation of Islam, black supremacist).

The thing is, those 3 guys are pasty White Liberals who claim they defend minorities, but don't know a ****ing thing about them, that they think any minority who is Right-Leaning must be a White guy.

And they hate their own race. They probably cry themselves to sleep at night that they were born White and with small penises. As a Latino, let me speak to you 3 pendejos directly: You will never be like us. You will never be us. We don't like you. We would actually respect you if you respected who you were. Be proud of your race you smelly c*nts.

And yet no word about Steve Bannon taking millions of gullible MAGA rubes money for his bogus We'll Build The Wall scam.

And yet they are not mad at Bannon for stealing their money, they are mad he is being prosecuted.

Don't forget they didn't say a word about Lil Donny and his defense fund scam in 2020. They lined right up to give him money. MAGA team is built to be scammed over and over again by different con-artists, and many of them will still not learn :oldlol:
