A Black Lives Matter activist and her husband are facing federal fraud and conspiracy charges after allegedly using a nonprofit they founded to scam at least $185,000 from donors. Monica Cannon-Grant and her husband, Clark Grant, used money from their nonprofit, Violence in Boston, to pay for rent, shopping sprees, hotels, car rentals, auto repairs, meal deliveries, and a summer vacation trip to Maryland. Two counts of wire fraud conspiracy, one count of conspiracy, 13 counts of wire fraud, and one count of making false statements to a mortgage-lending business were charged with the couple. Cannon-Grant was charged with mail fraud. Cannon-Grant was released without bail. She will be allowed to work at the nonprofit twice a week, but can't handle its finances. Grant was arrested by federal agents in October and charged with lying on a mortgage statement and collecting unemployment benefits. Cannon-Grant's lawyer said prosecutors had rushed to judgment and that they were confident Monica would be vindicated. Drawing conclusions from an incomplete factual record does not represent the fair and fully informed process a citizen deserves from its government, especially someone like Monica who has worked hard for her community, according to a statement obtained by Fox News.

Cannon-Grant and her husband collected an estimated $100,000 in federal unemployment benefits. Cannon-Grant allegedly earned more than $27,000 in consulting fees for working with a media company on its diversity, equity, and inclusion training and took home a $2,788 weekly salary from Violence in Boston. Grant was employed by a commuter services company. Cannon-Grant allegedly told her husband that she was unemployed and that she should have an associate write a letter to Violence in Boston. The associate created a back-dated letter that Grant used to scam unemployment payments. The couple used the nonprofit's assets to buy a home in the Boston suburbs.
