In true Massachusetts fashion – though it has been a few years since a State House Speaker has been jailed on corruption charges, Boston’s “person of the year*” has been indicted for fraud.
New England’s most prominent exponent of the Black Lives Matter movement is facing charges of bilking donors and using charity funds for personal gain. The highest-profile race activist in Boston, Monica Cannon-Grant, has been indicted by the U.S. attorney in Boston on 18 counts.
How prominent? Well, she’s been showered with awards, mentions, or praise (and money)*.
Is Monica still the Boston Globe’s “Bostonian of the Year?”
Does Boston Magazine still think she’s “the best social justice advocate in Boston?”
Do the Boston Celtics still consider her “a hero among us?”
Does the Boston City Council still offer her “congratulations” after her 18-count indictment?
Does the Roxbury Unity Community still consider her a “Leader of Tomorrow?”
Of all the slobbering, the Globe is probably most responsible for enabling this alleged million-dollar flim-flam to fester for so long.

Following in the footsteps of other BLM leaders, Monica Cannon-Grant managed to get herself in trouble in Massachusetts, a very Blue state. A state that, at least on the political level, trips over itself to pander to her movement.
That’s quite an accomplishment that begs the question.
Who’d she piss-off to earn this sort of particular attention? The current US district Attorney who, as a county DA, gave Cannon-Grant and her husband (also indicted) a 6000.00 dollar grant “to her nonprofit, Violence in Boston Inc., to take a group of at-risk young men to a retreat in Philadelphia.”

The trip never happened, and these BLM schemers spent the 6K on…themselves.
“… for, among other things, $145 at a Boston nail salon; over $400 in grocery and Walmart purchases in Columbia, MD; hundreds of dollars in meals costs in Connecticut, New Jersey and Maryland, including at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Shake Shack, and other restaurants; $1,211 in charges at the Sonesta Suites, Columbia, MD; hundreds of dollars in fuel, parking and car rental costs; and hundreds of dollars in ATM withdrawals….”
Fraud is one thing. They are defrauding a DA who is not a US Attorney? That appears to have inspired a detailed investigation into their financial records and an 18 count indictment for fraud.
What does BLM stand for again? Is it Bilking Liberals for Money?
