Hate Group SPLC Paid MILLIONS in Donor Money to Violent Extremists, Funds Went to Hoods and Cross Burnings

The Southern Poverty Law Center built its brand on fighting hate groups. Donors gave it more than $100 million a year because they believed the SPLC was destroying the KKK, the neo-Nazis, the Aryan Nations. But… a new federal indictment says the SPLC quietly funneled about $4.1 million in donor money to the super-pale leaders it was publicly attacking. (Doug Ross)

The Justice Department said Tuesday it obtained a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center that contained new allegations about how its donations were purportedly used to pay informants inside hate groups.

So it’s worse than previously reported.

Indict these terrorists, IMMEDIATELY revoke their 501c3 status, seize their assets, distribute to their victims.

The most explosive allegations in this indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) are not simply financial irregularities—they amount to accusations of a long-running scheme to secretly funnel donor money to leaders of white supremacist, neo-Nazi, and Ku Klux Klan organizations while publicly fundraising off opposition to those same groups.

Both the national president of the American Front and the Imperial Wizard of the United Klan were allegedly on the SPLC payroll.

The Federalist: the most extraordinary allegation in the superseding indictment filed Tuesday by federal prosecutors against the Southern Poverty Law Center demands a screenshot so you can see it with your own eyes. In the indictment, people labeled with the letter F and a number are members of extremist organizations who were allegedly funded by the SPLC, so F-31 and F-32 are alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan.

Demand for racism in America far exceeds supply so the supply of racism had to be created by Leftists.

Grow Existing Chapters of Extremist Groups.

Create New Chapters of Extremist Groups.

The SPLC and other Leftist groups did this.

This is terrorism.” (C3)

Biggest Allegation: SPLC Secretly Funded Extremist Leaders

The indictment alleges that between roughly 2010 and 2023, SPLC secretly routed approximately $4.1 million in donor funds through a network of allegedly fictitious entities and bank accounts to individuals identified as leaders or members of extremist organizations.

According to the indictment, donor money was allegedly used to:

Recruit new members into extremist groups
Expand extremist organizations
Fund rallies and events
Purchase materials for cross burnings
Buy materials for KKK robes and hoods
Produce racist propaganda
Pay the personal living expenses of extremist leaders

The indictment claims donors were told their money would help fight or dismantle extremist groups while portions were allegedly being used to support them.

Alleged Shell Companies and Secret Accounts

The indictment claims SPLC employees created or operated a network of fake entities, including:

Center Investigative Agency (CIA)
Fox Photography
North West Technologies
Tech Writers Group
Rare Books Warehouse
Imagery Ink
J&J Electronics
Kelly’s Marine
Turner Personnel

The indictment explicitly alleges these entities:

“were never incorporated, had no bona fide employees, and conducted no legitimate business.”

Prosecutors allege these accounts were used to conceal payments and move donor money.

Alleged Payments to Extremist Figures

Among the most politically explosive allegations:

F-42 (Former Chairman of the National Alliance)

The indictment alleges SPLC secretly paid him more than $155,000 while simultaneously featuring him on SPLC’s “Extremist File” webpage and soliciting donations to oppose him.

F-37

The indictment alleges SPLC secretly paid him more than $300,000.

The indictment further alleges he participated in leadership activities connected to the movement surrounding the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally and that SPLC continued funding him while publicly covering the movement.

F-27

The indictment alleges SPLC secretly paid him more than $350,000 through hidden accounts and pay cards.

F-43

The indictment alleges SPLC secretly paid more than $19,000 to a convicted felon and reported leader of the American Front.

F-18

The indictment alleges SPLC secretly paid a former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan while simultaneously publishing material condemning his organization.

Alleged Bank Fraud and False Documents

The indictment claims SPLC employees submitted false banking documents identifying employees as sole proprietors of various businesses that allegedly did not actually operate.

Bank records allegedly showed accounts opened under names such as:

Center Investigative Agency
Fox Photography
North West Technologies
Tech Writers Group

The indictment states the accounts were later closed after internal bank scrutiny.

Wire Fraud Charges

Counts One through Six charge wire fraud.

The theory is that SPLC allegedly obtained donations through material misrepresentations by telling donors their money would combat extremist groups while secretly diverting funds to individuals associated with those groups.

Money Laundering Charge

Count Eleven alleges Conspiracy to Commit Concealment Money Laundering.

Prosecutors claim SPLC used the shell entities and layered bank transfers to disguise the origin and destination of donor funds.

Asset Forfeiture

The forfeiture section seeks seizure of:

Property involved in the alleged offenses
Property traceable to the alleged offenses
Substitute assets if the original assets cannot be located

Why These Allegations Are So Significant

If proven, the indictment alleges a remarkable contradiction:

SPLC publicly raised money by portraying itself as fighting extremist organizations.
SPLC allegedly used hidden accounts and shell entities to channel millions of dollars to individuals connected to those same organizations.
SPLC allegedly concealed those payments from donors, banks, and regulators.

Those are the core allegations that make this indictment so explosive: wire fraud, money laundering, shell companies, secret payments to extremist leaders, and alleged misuse of donor funds on a multimillion-dollar scale.

IN BED WITH NEO-NAZI: New Indictment Exposes Leftist Group’s Scandalous Relationships With White Nationalists

By: Tyler O’Neil, Daily Signal, June 3, 2026

The Justice Department’s superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center claims the SPLC paid people to stay in the KKK when they wanted to leave the movement.

The Southern Poverty Law Center allegedly paid at least three people who wanted to leave the white supremacist movement not to do so, according to the Justice Department’s superseding indictment handed down Tuesday.

A federal grand jury in April had indicted the SPLC on charges of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to conceal money laundering. The SPLC has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

While the organization “purports to fight white supremacy and racial hatred,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a press conference that “the SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose.”

The charges revolve around the SPLC’s program paying “field sources” inside white supremacist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi groups. The organization has maintained that it paid these informants in order to alert law enforcement to extremist violence before it happened, and some of the informants’ information did lead to prosecutions.

However, the indictment claims some of the SPLC money actually went to prop up the organizations—and the superseding indictment reveals more details of the allegations.

Where Did the SPLC Money Go?

The superseding indictment alleges that the “field sources” used the money from the Southern Poverty Law Center to grow extremist groups.

Field sources used the money to attend and host “extremist group rallies”; grow and create “new chapters of extremist groups”; recruit new members; donate to extremist group leaders; “purchase materials for cross burnings; purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods”; and more.

One of the field sources, identified as “F-9,” reportedly had a romantic relationship with an SPLC employee. F-9 infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance and received $140,000 from the SPLC. F-9 shared bank accounts with the SPLC employee, who used the cash to pay for the couple’s personal living expenses.

The superseding indictment alleges that the SPLC not only paid white supremacist leaders and members, but actually convinced them to stay in the extremist groups when they tried to leave the movement.

The field source identified as F-30, who led the National Socialist Party of America, was a member of the Ku Klux Klan and led a faction of the Aryan Nations that had chapters in approximately 17 states, reached out to the SPLC while “seeking to get out of the white nationalist movement.”

An SPLC employee “offered F-30 a monthly salary of approximately $2,500.00 in addition to payment of expenses to continue to lead and maintain the violent extremist organization F-30 told the SPLC employee he wanted to leave,” according to the superseding indictment.

The SPLC used the shell company Rare Books to pay F-30 more than $70,000 in donor funds between 2010 and 2016, according to the indictment.

“F-30 used donors’ money to, among other things, travel to extremist rallies, host extremist rallies, donate money to leaders of other extremist organizations, recruit new members into his extremist organization, publish racist and extremist material for the purpose of recruiting new members, … and create racist paraphernalia to sell at rallies to raise money for his extremist organization,” the indictment states. “This was known to certain employees as they continued to secretly funnel donors’ money to F-30.”

Two more “field sources,” identified as F-31 and F-32, were members of a Ku Klux Klan organization who “feared for their safety from other Klan members and wanted out of the movement.” They reached out to the SPLC after seeing news reports about the center helping another person leave an extremist group.

“Despite their requests for help getting out of the movement, an SPLC employee encouraged F-31 and F-32 to stay in the movement and offered to pay them a $1,200.00 monthly salary as well as pay for expenses as incurred,” the indictment recounts. “Once they were financially backed by the SPLC to do so, F-31 and F-32 agreed to remain in the movement.”

The SPLC employee directed these field sources to falsely state they received the money for helping college students write and research essays, the indictment claims. Using this money, F-31 and F-32 “attended extremist group rallies in multiple states,” and the activity led F-31 to rise to “a leadership role within an extremist group.” In that role, “F-31 actively recruited new members using donors’ money.”

“F-32 also participated in recruiting new members using donors’ money,” the indictment adds. “In addition, an SPLC employee knew that F-32 used donors’ money to purchase material to make Ku Klux Klan garments for others.” The SPLC also allegedly reimbursed these field sources for the expenses they incurred for cross-burning events.

Forfeiture

The superseding indictment also includes forfeiture allegations. The document states that, if the SPLC is convicted of the wire fraud or conspiracy counts, it will “forfeit to the United States … property, real or personal, which represents or is traceable to the gross receipts obtained” in violating the law.

SPLC interim CEO Bryan Fair will testify before the House Judiciary Committee next week.
