Rich Homie White is exposed by The Daily Beast again. |
Jeffrey Shaun King has been investigated by The Daily Beast again. Of course, he is denying the allegations of him making a huge profit for his "grassroots" non-profit organizations. Of course, he locked his Twitter account and blocked the writer of the article. It took a while, but I finally realized that King is nothing more than a master of deception. He has scammed his supporters.
Shaun King’s nonprofit amassed millions of dollars in donations after George Floyd’s murder, but its signature project to redress prosecutorial injustices flopped

All the while, King and his associates raked in hundreds of thousands of $ in compensationhttps://t.co/l3DuFXVKq5
He misled his employees at his companies. He and his wife Rai have taken in nearly millions off the backs of activists and donors who thought they were fighting for civil rights and justice.
He once again takes his social media private and is trying to downplay his exploits.
The leftist who is a backer of Bernie Sanders, Nina Turner, Larry Krasner, Lee Merritt and numerous other controversial figures is often referred as a leader of "Black Lives Matter."
He is not.
The tax documents reveal that during the first year of its existence, a period that coincided with the largest racial justice protests in the nation’s history, the organization collected more than $6.67 million. Further, Federal Election Commission records also show that two political action committees tied to the controversial activist have poured close to half a million dollars into the organization.
King, a Morehouse College graduate and former minister, became one of the most prominent activist voices as the movement against police violence took shape, using his social media accounts to quickly draw attention to cases of police abuse. He’s also been a prolific fundraiser for families of some of the victims and for various ventures of his own, which has led to some painting him as a grifter although he’s never been charged with misappropriating funds.
The Daily Beast story dropped at a time when other prominent activists and organizations are also under scrutiny for their finances. The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation released its nonprofit tax filing for the first time earlier this year after a New York Magazine piece revealed that the org was delinquent in filing the form, and that its co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, had actually lived in a $5.8 million California home that was purchased with the organziation’s funds. Cullors, who is no longer part of the foundation, had previously said she never lived in the residence.
Earlier this month, some BLM grassroots organizers filed a $10 million lawsuit against a Shalomyah Bowers, a consultant for the organization, alleging he siphoned off millions in donations for himself.
