The FBI opened an investigation last year after a cooperating witness submitted a fraud complaint against Page, whose real name is Tyree Conyers-Page, FBI agent Matthew Desorbo said in the complaint.
Page founded Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta in 2016 and this year took in more than $466,000 in donations in June, July and August, Desorbo said.
"In sum, Page has spent over $200,000 on personal items generated from
donations received through BLMGA Facebook page with no identifiable purchase or expenditure
for social or racial justice," he said.
Well maybe he considers the money his reparations?
Page became a familiar face at Black Lives Matter marches in Atlanta to protest fatal police shootings.
He was part of a group of Black activists who met with then-Atlanta mayor Kasim Reed to demand changes in police training and tactics. Page even spoke at a joint news conference, according to the station.
At the time, Page had been arrested several times for impersonating a police officer, the station reported..
Good to see the FBI is still functioning under this president.
Quite a change from the Obama Biden admin. who only went after their political opponents isn't it ?
