The national Black Lives Matter group purchased a $6 million mansion in a Los Angeles neighborhood with donor cash in October 2020 and then maneuvered to keep the purchase a secret, according to a report Monday.
BLM Global Network Foundation used a man with close business ties to the charity's co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, to purchase the luxury mansion with the charity's cash resources, according to a report by New York magazine. The property purchase came just two weeks after BLM received a $66.5 million cash infusion from its former fiscal sponsor on Oct. 6, 2020.". . .
. . . "Abdullah later blasted critics for demanding accountability for their management of BLM's millions.
“Who the f*** are you? You ain’t done s***,” Abdullah said. "I don't need to be accountable to you. ... I don't know what accountability looks like with people that I don't know and have never talked to."
"Paul Kamenar, an attorney for the watchdog group the National Legal and Policy Center, said Monday that Cullors's use of BLM's property for use on her personal YouTube channel appears to be an IRS violation.". . .
