Black Lives Matter issued a thinly-veiled apology on Monday night over the left-wing groups purchase of a multi-million dollar mansion that was paid for with donations raised from loyal supporters.
The purchase was fully exposed last week in an article by New York Magazine. The property was bought for almost $6million in cash in October 2020 with funds that had been donated to BLMGNF (Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation).(Snip)'We know narratives like this cause harm to organizers doing brilliant work across the country and these reports do not reflect the totality of the movement,' one of the tweets reads. 'We apologize for the distress

From what I have garnered in the news, they laundered the purchase through at least two layers(law firms) into an LLC with no logical reason for doing so except to try to hide the purchase.
And the layers look mighty suspicious as the price of the house was pointlessly jacked up in these transfers which seems to have rewarded someone with windfall profits. And if this works like some of the Clinton charities worked then that guy that got that money was actually being rewarded with charity money for other services he had done in the past that didn't qualify as legitimate charitable expenses.
But then they couldn't help themselves and posted a selfie with the house in the background apparently thinking they had totally gotten away with it. And they probably have.

Hillary bought BLM lock, stock and barrel.
They were arears in tax filings and their paperwork was a mess.
She took over when no black people in blm wanted to be the top guy.
She installed a token black from the Clinton Foundation.
All the blm proceeds go to the Clintons.
They decide IF a black death warrants any attention.
And they base their decision on their own need for diversions from their own woes.

Somewhere along the way, it went from one price, which may have been sold at a huge discount.
Or, they were able to buy it, then find other who would pay significantly higher prices during the transfer from one entity to another, which will result in large short-term capital gains tax payments for someone.
Someone has been bamboozled somewhere along this transaction, and could be multiple times.
And, California has Prop 13 which fixes your property taxes at 1% of the purchase price with only 2% increase each year (until sold).. So, the State is okay with all of this, since they now will collect taxes at the much higher price.

What brilliant work have they done? Six million in cash could have been used to help many black lives that apparently do not matter as much as they say. The only thing that concerns them is that this revelation will slow down the donations that make their luxurious lifestyle possible.

Someone being interviewed on Newsmax said $60 million or $90 million aren't the right numbers for donations. They got in the BILLIONS. No wonder Hilly is panting.

I'm sure the lefty commies in Cambridge, Massachusetts will be teary eyed hearing this bit of propaganda and will immediately take pen in one hand, checkbook in the other and make a sizeable donation to this worthy cause which goes to show how vastly stupid they really are

Them being more transparent… not going to happen….their reason for a 6 million dollar estate was lame … I guess they made such an excuse because they know their followers would believe it…Cannot blame them for trying this. It is the same people who also believe Jessie Smollett is not guilty.

Well THAT was stupid. Marxism 101 teaches that one never apologizes for alleged wrongdoing. Are you people amateurs? What do you need to be safe from, black people are the only ones doing violence in this country? We know a scam when we see one. Not only do I not contribute, I don't buy the products of those woke corporations who do.

That 6m could have gone a long way to fund anger management classes in the black community. Flying off the handle there has some serious consequences. I am sure this money could have been better spent.
This bit of bad publicity will not affect their ability to raise money nor will it change their financial strategy. Democrats have graft down to a science and the protected class? Puhleeze, they have a get out of jail free pass that never expires.

I have secretly been developing a commie to Patriot translation device and I input this into my prototype and it translated to:
We're not the least bit remorseful for what we did, we'll do it again in a heart beat, but we're angry that we got caught and those who caught us are at fault for any negative feelings you may have over these circumstances.
It's a little wordy, still some development to do I guess.

Translation: We're sorry we got caught using money we fleeced off of you stupid people who actual thought we'd use the donations you so greatly gave us to help you. We didn't mean it so please continue to give so that we can build more "safe houses" in places like Brentwood and Park Avenue. Thanks suckers, uh we mean you very charitable people.

BLM was started by a bunch of Marxist activists and basically thugs. Politicians, the media, and woke corporations got right in line and fell for the con job. First, these idiots have no idea how to manage this kind of money, second, the urge to embezzle whatever they could get away with was too much to resist. Their lame accusations of ‘racism’ toward anyone pointing this out are laughable. They got busted.

Well...at least WE know what they did with the money...just like King Barrack Hussein...he worked the system on the south side of Chicago as a community organizer...and NEVER gave back anything to the neighborhood when he climbed on their backs....he buys mansions and sends money off shore and his south side people still suffer...not that he cares...he wants their vote ...because he's black...to little ...to late!!
