Southern Poverty Law Center indicted on charges that it fraudulently paid informants in extremist groups

The head of the civil rights organization said the group was "outraged by the false allegations" leveled against it.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Tuesday announced an indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging the civil rights organization has engaged in financial crimes.

Blanche said at a news conference that the DOJ’s investigation found the organization had been “manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred,” and then hiding those payments.

The 11-count indictment from a federal grand jury consists of six counts of wire fraud, four counts of false statements to a federally insured bank and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

“The Southern Poverty Law Center’s ('SPLC') stated mission included the dismantling of white supremacy and confronting hate across the country. However, unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nation, and the National Alliance,” the indictment alleges.

The white supremacist administration prosecuting the Southern Poverty Law Center for infiltrating hate groups is just bad writing.

opinion of a legal expert reposted by a law professor reposted by another lawyer:
"
The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.

given this admin's weaponized bullshit previous charges i'll assume this is more of it
