    More than an investigation, there’s now a criminal indictment that alleges that SPLC, Inc. defrauded their donors when they paid undercover informants to infiltrate racist and extremist groups. The theory of the case is that SPLC was actually assisting and aiding these racist groups, contrary to SPLC’s public positions, by doing things like paying membership dues on behalf of their undercover informants.

    There are also money laundering charges on the basis that SPLC deliberately misstated the purpose of funds when they were transferring money over to the undercover infiltration side of the operation. Because, maybe, you know, they were trying to be under cover about it.

        Curiously enough, SPLC was known to pass tips they learned from their spying ops to the FBI until Kash Patel shut that down recently.
