'World's sexiest albino' posed as BLM leader to steal nearly $500k through fake charity, prosecutors
An activist who calls himself the "world’s sexiest albino" is on trial this week after allegedly conning nearly $500,000 from donors through a reportedly phony Black Lives Matter charitable group he established. The FBI arrested Sir Maejor Page, 35, back in 2020 after a complaint detailed how he fraudulently utilized a Black Lives Matter non-profit organization "by way of misrepresentations and by posing as a Black Lives Matter leader."
Page, who is also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, began his trial on Tuesday stemming from federal charges of wire fraud, one count of concealment money laundering and two counts of money laundering. He pleaded not guilty to the charges back in 2021 and has seen his trial repeatedly pushed back, including in August, before it kicked off this week.
Authorities detailed that in 2018, Page set up a bank account called "Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta Inc.," and also set up a social media page, "Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta," as a supposed charitable foundation and listed the group on GoFundMe, the FBI said in 2020.
Authorities say funds in the Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta Inc. bank account "ebbed and flowed" after he established the account in 2018, seeing highs exceeding $5,000 and lows of -$12.42.
In the summer of 2020, however, Page saw a donation boon, according to the FBI: with the social media account pulling in $36,493.80 in June, $370,933.69 in July and $59,914.69 in August.
The increase in donations followed the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May of 2020, which sparked renewed calls from coast to coast to defund the police, support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and widespread protests and riots in many cities. The movement even swept the highest echelons of America, from corporate leaders to Hollywood icons to powerful sports figures pledging support to BLM and supporting the message that police departments should lose their funding.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation responded to the allegations against Page in 2020, following his arrest, saying that he "has continued to compromise the integrity of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, supporters, and allies."
"Our stance remains that Mr. Page is not affiliated with Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation," the group continued at the time.

As opposed to a "REAL" Black Lives Matter leader:
BLM spent at least $12M on luxury properties in LA, Toronto: tax filing
In Canada, Toronto-based non-profit M4BJ purchased a 10,000-square-foot downtown property for the equivalent of $6.3 million. The former headquarters of the Canadian communist party was named the Wildseed Centre for Art and Activism by Canadian BLM members who said it was purchased using cash from BLMGNF.
The purchase of the Toronto home was part of an $8 million “out of country grant” in North America, to conduct “activities to educate and support black communities, and to purchase and renovate property for charitable use,” according to BLMGNF’s latest federal tax filing for fiscal year 2020. The group said it planned to use the space as its main office in Canada.
It’s unclear where the remaining $1.7 million “out of country grant” went. In 2021, sources told The Post that BLMGNF had purchased a luxury condo in the Bahamas in the same beach-front resort where Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake have homes. Cullors vigorously denied that the group had purchased property on the islands.
The IRS filing also lists the group’s Los Angeles compound as an asset. In October 2020, BLMGNF secretly bought a sprawling mansion in Los Angeles, spending nearly $6 million on the purchase of the Studio City compound, which includes a soundstage, six bedrooms and a swimming pool.
Cullors recently admitted that she threw two parties at the swanky compound — a birthday bash for her son and a soiree to celebrate President Joe Biden’s presidential win in 2020. Tax filings show that she paid back BLMGNF $390 for “the use of real estate.”
Cullors and BLMGNF could not be reached for comment.
