Anti-violence group founders defrauded groups like Everytown lol
Gun control groups are promoting and helping fund “anti-violence“ groups around the country. Here’s the latest from one in Boston:
BOSTON (CBS) – A federal grand jury has indicted Monica Cannon-Grant and her husband Clark Grant, the founders of Violence In Boston, on more than a dozen charges for allegedly using the nonprofit for their own benefit.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Massachusetts announced on Tuesday that Cannon-Grant, 41, and Grant, 38, both Taunton residents, are facing charges as part of an 18-count indictment.
A grand jury found the couple allegedly led a series of schemes designed to defraud Violence in Boston donors, the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance, and a mortgage lending business based in Chicago.
Federal prosecutors allege the couple intended to use charitable donations for their personal benefit.
Charges included 13 counts of wire fraud and one count of making false statements to a mortgage lending business. In addition, Cannon-Grant faces one count of mail fraud.
Founded in 2017, Violence in Boston said its purpose is to “to reduce violence, raise social awareness and aid community causes in Boston.” Cannon-Grant is the founder and CEO of the organization, and Grant is a founding director.
Violence in Boston has partnered groups for their mission, such as Moms Demand Action, March For Our Lives, etc:
