ICYMI – News broke that a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement was accused of stealing over $10 million from the foundation and using it for his own “personal piggy bank.”

Now a lawsuit alleges that Shalomyah Bowers fraudulently stole over $10 million in supposed “fees” for his consulting firm. 

The filing continues on to state that Bowers treated the BLM Global Network Foundation as his own “personal piggy bank” and has acted as a “rogue administrator” and “middle man turned usurper.” 

This is the same organization that collected over $90 million in the wake of George Floyd’s death in 2020. 

BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who resigned in 2021 over controversy surrounding her personal real estate purchases, is said to be closely associated with Bowers.

According to The Los Angeles Times, the BLM Global Network Foundation raises funds through donations, which are then distributed among BLM grassroots, otherwise known as “the umbrella organization for local chapters of the group.”

The lawsuit also claims that Bowers led BLM into multiple IRS investigations and “various state attorney generals, blazing a path of irreparable harm to BLM in less than eighteen months.”

The lawsuit states, “While BLM leaders and movement workers were on the street risking their lives, Mr. Bowers remained in his cushy offices devising a scheme of fraud and misrepresentation to break the implied-in-fact contract between donors and BLM.”

A statement from the board of directors points the blame at white supremacy for going after a member of the BLM organization, saying “They would rather take the same steps of our white oppressors and utilize the criminal legal system which is propped up by white supremacy to solve movement disputes.”

The investigation has shared that there is a growing lack of financial transparency among the foundation.
