Con Games

A con artist gets caught:

Brandon Anderson, founder of Raheem AI, an anti-police brutality charity, has been charged with diverting tens of thousands of dollars in donations from his organization to cover lavish vacations, designer clothes, and mansion rentals. D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb is suing Anderson, who has made calls to abolish the police, for his alleged theft and the organization, which failed to monitor Anderson’s spending habits. Since 2021, Anderson has spent more than $40,000 on a luxury vacation rental service, $10,000 on hotels and Airbnbs for personal travel, $10,000 on designer clothing brands, and $5,000 on emergency veterinary services. “Brandon Anderson misused charitable donations to fund lavish vacations and shopping sprees, and the Raheem AI Board of Directors let him get away with it,” Schwalb said in a statement. “Not only did their financial abuses violate fundamental principles of nonprofit governance, but Anderson and Raheem AI failed to pay their employees the wages they had earned. My office will not allow people to masquerade behind noble causes while violating the law, cheating taxpayers, or stealing from their workers.”

The long con still continues, however...
