A federal grand jury has indicted the head of a Black Lives Matter chapter. It charged Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, executive director of Black Lives Matter's Oklahoma City wing, with money laundering and fraud last week. She allegedly embezzled funds from the chapter, BLMOKC, for her personal benefit from June 2020 through at least this past October.Dickerson deposited at least $3.1 million in checks meant for BLMOKC’s social justice mission into her personal bank accounts, the Oklahoma City grand jury determined. The director used the funds for a variety of purposes, including recreational travel to the Dominican Republic and Jamaica for herself and her associates, a personal vehicle and six properties in the city, according to the indictment.She also allegedly used tens of thousands of dollars to shop and at least $50,000 for food and grocery deliveries for herself and her kids.
So basically donations intended for protestors bail etc., was used to enrich herself--it's just amazing how this keeps happening over and over and over again.
