FBI has arrested the founder of a Black Lives Matter group in Atlanta on fraud and money laundering charges.
Sir Maejor Page, 32, was accused misappropriating $200,000 in donations he solicited through Facebook on behalf of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta.
He 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.
The FBI in Toledo said Page pledged to use those donations "for George Floyd" but instead used the money make purchases related to food, dining, entertainment, clothing, furniture, a home security system, tailored suits and accessories.
According to the bureau, Page also used $112,000 of the donated money to purchase a house for himself in Toledo, Ohio. The transaction took place last month.
