The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, once worshiped by the mainstream media and Democrats alike, has taken quite the fall as far as public relations is concerned. 

According to Fox 5, the tradition of corruption within the ranks of the organization continued last week after one of its Atlanta-area leaders was sentenced to prison.

Tyree Conyers-Page, also known as Sir Maejor Page, was sentenced this week after a trial regarding charges related to wire fraud and money laundering.

The former BLM leader was hammered with a 42-month prison sentence, which will be served in Ohio, according to reports.

What's going on?

A common scenario unfolded, as Page was found guilty of taking donations through Facebook on behalf of the organization and using it to fund his own lifestyle, including spending the funds on a home, travel, and other personal items.

Page attempted to argue that the money he spent from the raised funds was part of a "reasonable salary" for fundraising on behalf of the organization.

It was noted that Page never consulted BLM board members about being reimbursed for his activity on behalf of the organization,

The outlet noted:

The allegations surfaced in April 2020 when the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center received a complaint accusing Page of misrepresenting himself as a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement and misusing the organization's funds. According to prosecutors, their investigation revealed that Page had established a social media page named Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta (BLMGA) and registered it as a non-profit capable of receiving donations, with a significant presence on the fundraising platform GoFundMe.

Page's trial lasted six days, according to the report.

Social media users react

Given BLM's decline in popularity, it's no wonder that many social media users had strong opinions about his sentencing.

"He should’ve gotten 15 years," one X user wrote.

Another X user wrote, "Anyone shocked? They have been given billions and not one cent anywhere has gone to one single black person outside of the chapter leadership. What a scam."

Page had also been arrested several times for impersonating a law enforcement officer.
