How Do You Spell Corruption?

What's $850K between family? A Black Lives Matter cofounder used $840,000 of the group's funds to pay her brother for 'security services'

A cofounder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation used donated funds to pay her brother $840,000 for "professional security services," according to tax documents filed with the IRS.

The filing showed that Patrisse Cullors, the organization's one-time executive director, paid the sum to Cullors Protection, a company owned by her brother Paul Cullors. [SNIP]

According to the tax filing, the organization also paid more than $969,000 for live-event, design, and media production to Trap Heals LLC, a company founded by Damon Turner, who fathered a child with Patrisse Cullors.

I'm sure they did some things their donors meant to support, but it seems like some family members got rich along the way.

If I remember correctly, when Daley the Younger was mayor of Chicago, his brother in law, or 2nd cousin, or some relation was put in charge of either the Fire Department or Police Pensions. Maybe both. They lost a ton of equity, but the Daley relative made a sweet salary for those few years. Things never change.
