An executive at Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation (GNF), is accused of 'syphoning' more than $10 million from donors, the grassroots arm of the BLM organization said a court filing this week.

In this July 13, 2020, file photo, a black lives matter mural is visible in the Shaw neighborhood in Washington. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which grew out of the creation of the Black Lives Matter movement, is formally expanding a $3 million financial relief fund that it quietly launched in February 2021, to help people struggling to make ends meet during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

Bowers denied the claims levelled in the suit, which BLM Grassroots presented in a news conference last week, saying in GNF was originally created by Cullors "as an administrative organization to raise funds to provide financial support for local-level community efforts of BLM Grassroots," the suit said, while the BLM Grassroots organization did the "on-the-ground" work.

Bowers took umbrage with this recollection of events in the statement posted on BLM's site. "BLMGR and Melina Abdullah read a press statement claiming that Patrisse Cullors created a transition plan giving all of BLMGNF's assets to BLM Grassroots. That is absolutely false," Bowers said. "Within months, Bowers had run these well-respected advocates out of the organization," the suit alleges. "Through a series of misrepresentations and unauthorized backroom dealings, Mr. Bowers managed to steal control over GNF as the sole Board member and officer."

Shocking!!! (Said nobody)

Hahahhahah

Old news … could have said that years ago. Majority of it’s major funders are white also…

There has to be some 'Global Warming' in there somewhere!

Looks like one black life mattered.

only her black ass matters

This is peanuts. They still have 60 million unaccounted for from 2020. Not to mention all the multi million dollar homes, numerous leaders have bought in the past couple years.

Yeah thats just the tip of the iceberg... don't forget how racist this organization is.

There's a shocker. Not.

I don’t believe it, they are such an upstanding group of people 🙄🤣

That’s what socialist groups do.

To the surprise of absolutely no one. BLM has been nothing but a massive grift since day one.

And all you tankie journalists pumped the wokeness

JPablee Black squares lol. Y’all got bamboozled.

Black lives matter is a for profit organization that prays on your goodwill to enrich its top members They do nothing for black communities except use them for money and then walk away laughing

So many people got scammed by blm it’s actually a hate organization

What about everyone’s lives matter! Stop oppression of ordinary Canadians! 🤬😖

Shocker.

That's exactly what Communists do. BLM is an organization setup by Communists and funded/promoted by globalists.

And this surprises you? 🤦‍♀️

It's funny how the left acts surprised that a group of racist & violent people they supported & made excuses for would also be thieves as well. People today on the left really don't live in the real world.

Surely not!! Avowed students of Marxism would never engage in such blatant bourgeoisie behaviour. Ever.

Corruption you say? I’m shocked

Then he blamed his accusers for using whities legal system. Lol

Better not go after BLM you elite white liberals have always been too scared to touch that patatoe.

Couldn't tie this to climate change

Surprisingly CTV is covering this after cheerleading for this corrupt organization m’s activities and fundraising.

Wow the covert racism is gross. PS same thing happened with the CONvoy. This is why donation organizations need to be run with rules and accountability, so the money goes where it is supposed to.

Well, I am aghast! OK, not really.

I heard this MONTHS ago , try and keep up!

Zulu

At what point to people open their eyes about BLM ? They exploit the names of young black men, give nothing to their families or communities and stir up hatred to create more violence. Blacklivesmatter does not care about black lives!

SURPRISE....

No shit 🤣🤣

'accused' hummmm, we all know they are fraud. 🙄

Hahahahahah NOOOOO !!! Lmao

Shocking,so you mean the money isn’t going to help black lives,black communities,imagine what 10m in scholarships could do for the black community. Noone believed they were doing good for those communities.That organization doesn’t do anything to lift their own into better lives

He was not the only one with BLM to personally benefit to the tune of millions.

Burn cities take white woke money…sweet deal

🤣🤣 can't even help their own people.

Democrats fail😂

But… His life matters more?

Oh yeah? No shit 🤦‍♂️

Burn loot murder is an awesome organization

BLM was a Marxist movement that scammed people out of money and use George Floyd’s death to do it.

And yet, our PM took the knee to support BLM protests while physically attacking, freezing bank accounts of those protesting with and supporting the the Trucker convoy. The second protest was peaceful, the first one saw massive destruction in its wake everywhere it took place.

Only 10mil? End all covid restrictions and mandates in Canada.

should have called it a church and said you needed the money for a private jet / lining the insides of the walls🤷

This org has brought civil war to the US and is now à scourge on Canadian society. Makes the ARA look like beginners.

Like no one saw that coming LOL. Most of them have a criminal record.

BLM want to scatter service security of the Blacks in US & UK, they are using Black Lives Matter as a enthusiastic word. Basic idea is to make role gap in Christian paper. nytimes SkyNews

And yet our PM attends a protest in solidarity with BLM group but can't meet to have a discussion with hard working truckers.

Anyone who did not see the whole BLM shit as anything but a corrupt, political, divisive hate filled cult of revenge seekers. Deserve to have been fooled. All fake news media pushed this lie.

Yet, the media cheered freezing legitimate protesters fundraising and later, personal bank accounts. Same with actual protesting. Peaceful: trample with horses, tear gas, shoot with rubber bullets, kick and beat with batons. BLM 'protesters' laying siege: all okay

Justin Trudeau, please use taxpayer money to help fund this charity.

This is so funny, criminals stealing from criminals. The worst is corporations all over Canada and US was in lock step with these criminals. Disgusting.

Shocking

Cricket lives matter

Shocker.

Seems like that was pretty common among the BLM executives. Buying mansions, cars, trips and expensive lifestyles with little accountability. Heard enough ?

True North & Rebel news broke this story months ago.

This is hilarious! 🤣😂😅

BLM the Marxist scam

BLM; Big Luxury Mansions.

One Billion raised for BLM, not one ghetto helped, no school supplies bought, no food bank donations, nothing. Every penny robbed. It's so ridiculous it's comical.

Glad I haven’t spent a single penny on that.

Why is the picture blurry of a person wearing a mask?

ROFL expect anything different from a terrorist organization?

Shocker

Who could have seen this scam criminal organization ending up like this? They based their foundation on rapist drug abusing criminals such as George Floyd

You all were conned. The Media. Politicians, the Public. Have any of you asked...'What has Black Lives Matter done for the community?' 'grifter'. 1. Money made dishonestly, as in a swindle. 2. A swindle or confidence game.

Black Lives Matter moved millions of dollars to a charity in Canada run by the wife of co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors to buy a 10,000-square foot mansion, reports show BLM bought the house for $6.3 million, July 2021. Khan is the wife of Khan-Cullors, a self-professed Marxist

George’s ex & children from multiple women still got their $29,000,000.

No one said money matters? BMM

Trump's siphoned $Billions from his cult !!!

Can’t wait for the RealCandaceO documentary to expose these frauds

Same people all donated to KONY 2012

A lot of people bought in to their shit. Just like Idle No More here in Canada.

Another one

No surprise there

Shocker

🤔 seems JustinTrudeau taught him well. Imagine how much he'd have gotten using the WE Charity as the bag men?

Yall got scammed

Over 20 Chapters are suing.

Not the first time they've done it. Dont waste your money on BLM

Quelle surprise

How about the other hundreds of millions that was donated ? Other than the mansions for the 'leaders', who was helped by this money.

No wayyyy

Stealing money matters

This is a disgrace! I knew all along these idiots were frauds very fraudulent individuals! They thought people would forget and move on! Didn’t the ones in Canada bought a mansion in Toronto somewhere around Spadina or area? Don’t know the purpose of it!

What a surprise. I bet Biden got 10%.

Blm is racist for making this allegation against one of their own. People of colour, which actually could be anyone, dont commit crimes. Wasnt that the big message this last year?

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

No lives matter when the money flows.

💀

They've been scamming people out of their money for a while now...dont trust BLM

Aligns with the corrupt MP 🧐

A little late to the party, …

Which 'executive'?. A few of these BLM saviors purchased mansions and one was paying family 'stupid money' as hired staff. (as they all lived in the mansion. LMFAO) I want an audit. I don't think money is going to the communities these people claim to care about.

Greed for money knows no skin color boundaries.

Only $10M

A big stain on this grass root movement. Once the money starts coming in the eyes go single with some within the organization. Unless meaningful audit checks are in place this happens. From Little league sports to big organizations.

Oh…so now the truth starts coming out. Took a while but here it comes. Huge scam.

Canadian BLM seems to also have controversy too.

Trudeau knelt for a Bacon Lettuce Mayo protest, but envoked the Emergency Act when Canadians protested his unjustified, criminal mandates and restrictions. BLM was clearly a grift, how did the Prime Minister of Canada not know this?

HollyHollywood8 old news.. only difference is when others were tweeting it before a lawsuit...those others were called racist

And that's because BLM are not criminals! Hahaha

BLM buying expensive mansions. Corrupt organization. Democrat party's foot soldiers/brown shirts.

How do you white liberals and woke companies feel about BLM now?

Not surprised.

This is so disappointing - and disturbing.

The fact that CTV even tweets this out, I feel they were hacked

No way, I been told do not question mansion purchase

No reaction from anyone. Are we afraid to have an opinion on this?

Did $10M make them matter?

This is so embarrassing. I’m so sick because there are Black families and people from the communities across the nation who really need it and it’s used for selfish reasons. Some Black leaders have their integrity in the toilet. They deserve jail time.

No shit! Poverty Pimps at it again! 😂 BLMFraud BLMTheft BLM povertypimps

Laugh at the clowns that donate

Can NOBODY be trusted with money now too?
