Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast, where we delve into the federal trial of Sir Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page. Page, the former head of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta, stands accused of wire fraud and money laundering, facing allegations of personally profiting from the organization in the aftermath of George Floyd's death.

The case against Page began to unfold in April 2020 when the FBI received a complaint regarding his alleged misuse of funds within the organization. Prosecutors claim that despite representing himself as a leader of the Black Lives Matter movement, Page was purportedly exploiting the surge in donations following George Floyd's tragic death for personal gain.
Throughout the trial, which spanned nearly a week, the prosecution presented evidence detailing Page's alleged financial misconduct. They highlighted discrepancies between Page's claims of utilizing funds exclusively for movement-related purposes and the lavish personal expenditures uncovered during their investigation.

Page, in his defense, took the stand for nearly three hours, vehemently denying any deliberate deception. He argued that some of the funds he used were justified as a "reasonable salary" for his role in managing the organization. However, prosecutors pointed out that Page never consulted anyone within the organization regarding his compensation, casting doubt on the legitimacy of his claims.

The prosecution further scrutinized Page's financial transactions, revealing significant expenditures on personal items, including a residential property and firearms, which appeared to contradict his assertions of financial stewardship.

.As the trial draws to a close and the case is handed over to the jury for deliberation, the outcome remains uncertain. The verdict will not only determine Page's fate but also shed light on the broader implications for the Black Lives Matter movement and its leadership.
