Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, faces trial on charges of swindling donors out of $500,000 in a fundraising scheme linked to the Black Lives Matter movement.
Prosecutors allege that Page, a former actor who gained prominence as a Black Lives Matter activist, misappropriated funds raised through a GoFundMe campaign initiated under the banner of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta.
The accusations against Page include wire fraud and two counts of money laundering, marking a serious legal ordeal for the 35-year-old, who has had minor roles in television shows like American Horror Story and Constantine.
Investigators say Page, who claims he’s the “world’s sexiest albino,” diverted the funds for personal use, splurging on luxury items such as tailored suits, firearms, and a residence in Toledo, Ohio. Despite Page’s defense attorney’s claims that a portion of the funds was intended for charitable purposes, testimony from an FBI agent suggests otherwise.
Funds from the charity account were allegedly used to cover personal expenses, including lavish dining and retail expenditures, raising doubts about Page’s purported altruism.
