Controversial BLM co-founder doled out $8M of group's money for Canadian mansion
[WashingtonExaminer] The national Black Lives Matter group granted $8 million to BLM Canada to purchase a mansion in Toronto that only cost $6.3 million, according to audited financial statements obtained by the Washington Examiner.

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors was the sole board member of the BLM Global Network Foundation when it granted the funds to BLM Canada, the records show. Cullors's spouse, Janaya Khan, served on the board of BLM Canada when the transfer was made.

"I have never witnessed a lack of governance on this scale in my nearly 20 years as a charity watchdog," CharityWatch Executive Director Laurie Styron told the Washington Examiner.

Curiously, BLM Canada disclosed in a recent report that it only requested $5 million from the national BLM group to subsidize its cash purchase of the Wildseed Centre in downtown Toronto. BLM Canada purchased the property outright in July 2021 for 8.1 million Canadian dollars, or the equivalent of $6.3 million, according to records previously reported by the Washington Examiner.

Laurie's never been one to closely follow Washington shadowy politics or the activities of the entitlement crowd.

2 This is just ordinary elite corruption. It happens in DC all the time. BLM has outlived its usefulness, so it's being crushed. This is how DC works. As long as you're "in", you can steal as much as you want but the moment you're "out", then the investigations and lawsuits start.

All of them are guilty, and that's how they keep each other in line. Deviate and you get the hook.

3 BLM is an ordinary fraud group. The guilty/stupids are the ones who put out the yard signs.

4 Only thing to do is freeze the bank account and track the routing numbers back to the US accounts and start seizing funds.

Oh! BLM mansion; thought you said truckers.
