| [NationalReview] The left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center, which is now facing federal charges related to financial crimes, allegedly paid more than $270,000 to an informant who was a member of the leadership group that planned the 2017 "Unite the Right" event in Charlottesville, Va., according to federal prosecutors. The SPLC informant, whose salary from the group was paid out between 2015 and 2023, “made racist postings under the supervision of the S.P.L.C. and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees,” prosecutors said. Prosecutors say SPLC paid another informant with a neo-Nazi group more than $1 million over the course of nine years. In 2014, that informant stole 25 boxes of documents from an unidentified violent extremist group — documents that SPLC later used to create a report about the group. Blanche says the SPLC was “doing the exact opposite of what it told its donors it was doing — not dismantling extremism, but funding it.” He also accused the group of “manufacturing racism to justify its existence.” The SPLC’s revenue increased by roughly $80 million in the wake of the rally, from $51 million in October 2016 to $133 million in October 2017, according to Fox News. Now, the group faces charges of wire fraud, false statements to a bank, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
