- Amazon suspended Black Lives Matter from its charity platform this week
- BLM will be deprived of funds raised on AmazonSmile after they were not able to disclose where its $60 million in donations has gone
- The move comes after California DOJ has threatened to hold the leaders of Black Lives Matter personally liable over the charity’s missing financial records
- BLM confirmed they had $60 million in their bank accounts at the end of 2020
- Their coffers were filled with donations following the May 2020 killing of George Floyd and the subsequent protests
- In December 2020 BLM was officially registered as a charity, but it has not provided its latest tax return, and the 2019 filing has a non-existent address
- BLM’s co-founder and executive director, Patrisse Cullors, resigned in May 2021 amid scrutiny of her $3.2 million property empire
- Cullors said that two people, Makani Themba and Monifa Bandele, were taking over but in September they said they never accepted the roles
- In early February, the Washington Examiner reported that no one seemed to know who was currently running BLM, or managing the group’s money
