Several Black Lives Matter chapters have launched a lawsuit against the BLM Global Network Foundation, a nonprofit corporation spawned by the protest movement. The complaint accuses the foundation director of “unjust enrichment,” especially the theft of $10 million in charitable contributions for personal spending. Black Lives Matter Grassroots alleges that Shalomyah Bowers, the leader of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, misappropriated cash from local activist organizations. BLM Grassroots stated in a complaint filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court that Mr. Bowers determined he could not let go of his own piggyback. He violated his fiduciary obligations and the public trust by committing self-dealing.
What happens to the funds?
