It took folks 4 years to realize BLM activists were conning people out of George Floyd donations? Every Gofundme and social media page asking for donations related to that was pretty much a con.

Better late than never I guess.
He's not a BLM activist. He was pretending to be one. So why are you blaming BLM for this?

Oh no..he had a non-profit set up and so was filing tax returns.
It's all in the article posted in the OP

The money was going into the non-profit organization and he was moving money to his personal account.

Because if BLM didn't exist, then this wouldn't have happened? I mean, hello? Good Lord, what a stupid question.

So if someone creates a fake organization under your name, you are liable for it? And you call me stupid?

Nope. He fraudulently used their name. Here's a quote from the DA.

"“These allegations involve fraudulent misrepresentations that the donations received would support Black Lives Matter (Atlanta, Georgia) when, as stated in the indictment, those funds were actually used by the defendant for personal expenses he incurred in Toledo and elsewhere,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Bridget M. Brennan. “It is our sincere hope that these charges help raise awareness about online scams and efforts by some to exploit the name and purpose of non-profit organizations for personal gain.”" Source: https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndoh/pr...k-page-defraud

It was a fraudulent misrepresentation and not connected with BLM at all.

BLM itself is fraudulent and a cancer on humanity.

No BLM, no BLM scams. End of story.
