The king of grifting is living large.
Jeffrey Shaun King once again finds himself in controversy. He is the former Black Lives Matter activist who got fame from sharing incidents where police officers killed people of color. He often raises money in the wake of these incidents. Many in the movement have called out King for not disclosing where the funds are going. Whenever they do it, he threatens them with lawsuits.
When he is called out by critics, he often blocks them. He has blocked allies to Black Lives Matter.
King was a strong supporter of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns. He led the way in pushing disinformation about Hillary Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, Beto O'Rourke and Joe Biden.
Samaria Rice, the mother of Tamir Rice has finally put the brakes on King's endless parade of grifting.
The far-right tabloid The Daily Mail drops another hammer on him.
They report that King has swapped his two-bedroom apartment in New York City for a luxury five-bedroom luxury home on a New Jersey lakefront.
King, 41, has become a controversial figure in the Black Lives Matter and criminal justice reform movements after his racial identity was questioned. King's career has also been plagued by accusations of insincere motives and deception from his shady dealings.
The new property, purchased by King's wife, Rai-Tonicia King, 41, in November 2020 for $842,000, is surrounded by lush, tall trees sitting on Farrington Lake. It has "a lakefront backyard" and gourmet kitchen, according to public records.
Rai-Tonicia is a Ph.D. candidate and educator. Last year she founded Hands In Learning, an "education nonprofit providing high quality, virtual academic and enrichment classes for students all across the world regardless of their ability to pay."

| A nearly $1 million home for King Grifter! |
The $842,000 house is above the average $217,500 home value in New Brunswick. The town of 41,431 is 45% White, 24% Asian, 20% Black, and 19% Hispanic with much smaller percentages of other races, according to Census data.
In June, the mother of Tamir Rice, a black 12-year-old who was shot and killed by a white police officer in Cleveland in 2014, took to Instagram to blast King for profiting off of her son's death and brand him an "imposter."
The post came shortly after King - who raised as much as $60,000 for Tamir's family after his death without their consent - posted a new podcast to his website titled "I spoke to Samaria Rice this past week."
The episode seems to have since been deleted, and is no longer listed under the episodes for Breakdown with Shaun King.
"Why do you think it's so important to tell folks we had a conversation?" Rice asked King in her Instagram post, which was captioned: "For anyone that wants to know the truth."
"Well we talked and everything you said was very toxic and uncomfortable for me to hear that you raised additional money, and then say you did not want to bother me," she continued.
"Personally, I don't understand how you sleep at night. I never gave you permission to raise nothing."
"Along with the United States, you robbed me for the death of my son."
In a blog post accompanying his podcast episode first released in June, King said he and Rice spoke about the issue.
"It was a much needed conversation," he wrote. "I learned a lot. Listened a lot. Shared my heart. and pledged we would continue to fight to get justice and accountability for Tamir."
He said he was shocked that Rice knew who he was, as he had spent the past few months trying to reach her "through civil rights leader Opal Tometi and through the families of Oscar Grant and Philando Castile in an attempt to hear from her directly and answer any questions she might have."
He said she was aware that he had tried to reach out to her, "And then she spoke for a good 20 minutes about her pain, her frustrations, her questions and her struggles."
"She acknowledged that I was aware that I had written articles about Tamir across the years and had raised money for her family, but it was in that part of the conversation that I truly came to understand a central mistake that I had made with her."
"For the past seven years, I have left Samaria Rice alone," he concluded.
"As a general rule, when a family impacted by police violence asks for my help with fundraising or advocacy I do it - not only with no questions asked, but I do it with zero expectations from the grieved family."
"Ultimately, I learned that [Rice] didn't even know most of what I had done for her,' he said. 'That's my fault, and I'll never let that happen again."
But Rice had a completely different recounting of events in her Instagram post, saying he gave her a "cop and donut conversation."
"All lies Shaun, please stop thinking we on the same page," she wrote. "As a white man acting black, you are an imposter that cannot be trusted."
"My son was 12 years old, and DOJ needs to reopen his case, period."
"Tamir's Human rights was violated, who would you so ever make it about you? You are a selfish self-centered person and God will deal with you, white man."
King has previously said he has been told by his mother that "the white man on my birth certificate is not my biological father, and that my actual biological father is a light-skinned black man."
Back in 2015, a family member confirmed in an interview that both of King's parents are white. CNN's Don Lemon spoke with an unidentified member of Shaun King's family who said that King was born to white parents.
Lemon also spoke to King himself over text message, and asked him directly about his race.
"Initially he did not answer but later referred to himself as biracial" said Lemon.
"But then when I asked him if that’s what it shows on his birth certificate I did not hear back from him. No answer on that."
