Prosecutors say Mr. Page created and operated a Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta (BLMGA) page on Facebook. He registered it as a nonprofit with state and federal officials in 2016, but its tax-exempt status as a charity was revoked in 2019.
BLMGA’s nonprofit corporation was dissolved that year for failure to file the necessary paperwork.
Mr. Page didn’t notify Facebook that his charity tax exemption was revoked and the group remained listed as a nonprofit on Facebook, raking in hundreds of thousands of dollars related to the summer’s civil unrest over the May 25 death of George Floyd, court documents revealed.
