Donors Learn Black Lives Matter ‘Charities’ They Funded Never Existed

While one might argue that King is simply a young idealist who bit off more than he could chew, starting off-the-book nonprofit ventures that for some reason never really go anywhere appears to be a recurring thing in King’s life. Unfortunately, it might be too late for those who have donated thousands to King’s coffers, as many are finding out. The Daily Caller reports:

“King’s handling of Justice Together was deja vu for some activists who had volunteered for Justice That’s All a year ago. As with Justice Together, King also shut it down with little notice. Its internal messaging system was also closed down, and correspondence and work product created by volunteers was lost.

But volunteers and donors on Justice That’s All made even more serious allegations about King’s work on the forerunner to Justice Together.

One activist published an email in which King claimed that the donations to Justice That’s All would be used to pay for its registration as a 501(c)(3) organization with the IRS.

But a search of the IRS’ database shows that no organization named Justice That’s All has been registered with the agency. There are also no records in either Georgia or California, where King has an address, showing that Justice That’s All was ever registered as a nonprofit organization. Most states require charities to register before they can accept donations.

In contrast, King did register Justice Together in Georgia, as documents filed with the state’s secretary of state show.

Though it is unclear just how much money either Justice Together or Justice That’s All raised, an archive of the latter’s webpage, which has been shut down, does show that King had raised $2,116 from 125 donors shortly after it was founded.

The group likely received far more donations as indicated by the numerous other volunteers and donors who complained on social media that even after Justice That’s All disbanded, monthly donations continued to be drawn out of their bank accounts.

@ShaunKing Hi Shaun, can you tell me how the $150.00 I donated to group that you’ve now disbanded was spent? Thanks! pic.twitter.com/8R30ClzcY2

King’s disgruntled volunteers and donors have offered several theories for why his charities have failed. Some claim that he is perpetuating old-fashioned scams. King’s lack of financial transparency and his alleged habit of chastising and blocking those who ask questions about donations and spending have bolstered the theory.”

Boy, is the IRS going to have a field day with this guy!
