A Toledo man was found guilty of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering by a jury after a six-day trial this week for stealing donated money to his Black Lives Matter (BLM) organization and using it for personal gain, according to the Northern District of Ohio U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Court documents and testimony cited by the U.S. Attorney’s Office report that Sir Maejor Page, 35, created a 501(c)(3) Facebook page called Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta (BLMGA) and later used it to defraud donors out of more than $450,000 after BLMGA’s tax-exempt status as a charity with the IRS was revoked.
