Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation provided private jet service for its executive director, its latest tax filings show.

In addition to luxury real estate purchases in the US and Canada, filings show that Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of the group and its only board member for fiscal 2020, enjoyed charter jet travel “due to security threats and during the COVID pandemic,” according to the tax filings which provide few other details.

“This travel was for organizational purposes,” the filing said. “The expenditure was voluntarily reimbursed subsequent to year end.”

Filings show that Cullors, who resigned from the group in May 2021, took out a “loan” of $73,523 without board approval and without a written agreement, according to filings.

**SNIP**

Filings also show that the group paid nearly $6 million for a luxury compound in Studio City, and paid the equivalent of $6.3 million for a sprawling mansion in Toronto. Both properties are to be used as offices.

I'm wondering what the property taxes are on the new mansions. BLM must invest wisely.

““The expenditure was voluntarily reimbursed subsequent to year end.” “

Evidence of GUILT. If it was for organizing purposes as claimed for the organization, then it was a legitimate expense as per IRS rules. Reimbursing it showed somone got nervous they would get caught going on non-business related trips. Plus the $73,000 almost certainly came from other bogus expenditures such as paying the boyfriend and others hundreds of thousands for phony services.

So what else is new? Everyone knows they’re better than everyone else, and can do what they want. But, they are still miserable as ever. Where do they think this is going to go when you can’t create or build? Only complain.

Wow, you’d think she’d spend some of that hot dough and get that wart burned off her forehead. And eat less, too.

Just ask the Clinton’s. They used $14 million on Chelsea’s wedding. Charities can use the money for whatever they want, pay themselves any amount, donate to whatever organization they want. Look at the Red Cross. The CEO is paid millions. The BLM is no different as long as their books are filed at the end of the year. Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
