FBI Arrests BLM Activist Sir Maejor Page After Using Donations To Buy New Home, Guns & Clothes
FBI officials have arrested BLM activist Sir Maejor Page, real name Tyree Conyers-Page, on one count of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering after he was found to be using donations to buy a new home, guns, clothes, and more.
On Friday, the FBI’s Cleveland, Ohio division shared that 32-year-old Page was taken into custody, with a subsequent raid at his home “without incident.” In April, the bureau’s National Threat Operations Center received a complaint alleging that Page fraudulently used a BLM non-profit organization “by way of misrepresentations and by posing as a Black Lives Matter leader.”

After an official investigation was launched, it was found that Page spent over $200,000 in donations from his Black Lives Matter Greater Atlanta (BLMGA) campaign on GoFundMe, whose account received more than $465,000 in donations from June to August. It’s said that Page used the funds on dining, tailored suits, furniture, a pistol and two rifles, plus a new home and an “adjacent vacant lot” in Toledo, OH for $112,000.
Since the investigation launch, GoFundMe has removed BLMGA-related fundraisers and banned Page from using the platform in the future. Since his arrest, Page was released on $10,000 bond, and is now prohibited from using Facebook or any other social/fundraising platform.
