An activist known as the 'world’s sexiest albino' is currently on trial for allegedly defrauding donors of nearly $500,000 through a purportedly fake Black Lives Matter charitable organization he founded. The accused, Sir Maejor Page, 35, was arrested by the FBI in 2020 on charges of wire fraud, concealment money laundering, and money laundering. Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, established a bank account named 'Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta Inc.' in 2018, along with a social media page under the same name, to solicit donations.
Following the death of George Floyd in May 2020, donations to Page's organization surged, with funds exceeding $370,000 in July alone. Despite claiming that the donations were for movement-related causes, authorities discovered that Page used the money for personal expenses, including purchasing a residence and firearms. The FBI found evidence of Page's lavish spending, such as buying tailored suits, furniture, and dining at expensive restaurants.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation distanced itself from Page, stating that he was not affiliated with their organization. Page's trial in Toledo, Ohio, includes allegations of misleading donors and misrepresenting his group as connected to the national Black Lives Matter movement. FBI agent Matthew DeSorbo testified that Page flaunted his wealth on social media, wearing expensive suits and boasting about his possessions.
Page's defense argued that a significant portion of the raised funds remained unspent and that the real estate purchased was intended for a women's shelter. Donors testified that they believed Page's group was linked to the national Black Lives Matter organization due to its similar name. The trial is ongoing, with further proceedings expected throughout the week.
