I have been doing numerous interviews about the recent DOJ indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) for alleged fraud, money laundering, wire fraud, and lying to banks regarding its funding of certain individuals leading or organizing KKK and Neo-Nazi groups and events. This included the “Unite the Right” tiki torch rally in Charlottesville in 2017.

The gravamen of the Indictment is that SPLC presented itself to donors as fighting these groups when it was in bed with them, and in the course of that fraud committed several crimes.

I’ve been writing about SPLC since 2009, so I’m something of an ‘expert’ on its shenanigans. Among other things, I covered how SPLC had a KKK group (2010) and Neo-Nazi group (2012) on their Hate Map for Rhode Island despite those supposed groups having no real-world presence when I investigated and wrote about it at the time. With the addition of inflating the number of hate groups by treating each “branch” as a separate group and counting branches that appeared to be nothing more than blips on a website somewhere, SPLC arguably was a fundraising scam.

But was it criminal?

 

SPLC Accused of Funding Hate

The FBI has leveled multiple criminal indictments against the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). SPLC is accused of spending millions in dollars to fund numerous far-right hate groups, including the group behind the now-infamous Charlottsville, VA white supremacist rally.

The far-left smear group Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) announced Tuesday that it is the subject of a Justice Department criminal investigation and faces possible charges regarding its past use of paid confidential informants to infiltrate alleged “extremist” organizations.

The SPLC labels dozens of conservative and religious organizations and individuals as “extremist” including Focus on the Family, PragerU, MassResistance, Turning Point USA, Gays Against Groomers, Family Research Council, Tucker Carlson, Moms For Liberty, “radical traditional Catholics,” and Chaya Raichik (Libs of TikTok).

In October 2014, the group even labeled conservative pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson as an “extremist” due to his opposition to same-sex marriage. In February 2015, following a sustained outcry, the SPLC removed Carson from the list and issued a public apology, stating that the profile did not “meet its standards.”

The SPLC said it believes the Trump administration is preparing legal action against some of its employees and vowed to “vigorously defend” itself, its staff, and its work against the allegations, according to the Associated Press.

“Although we don’t know all the details, the focus appears to be on the SPLC’s prior use of paid confidential informants to gather credible intelligence on extremely violent groups,” CEO Bryan Fair said in a statement.

The DOJ probe follows FBI Director Kash Patel’s decision in October to sever all ties with the SPLC, accusing the group of being a “partisan smear machine” that defames mainstream Americans through its “hate map.”

Following the federal fraud indictment of the purportedly anti-racist Southern Poverty Law Center, the usual voices on the braindead political left have depicted the controversy as a mean right-wing attack on left-wing virtue.

 

The SPLC has due process rights, and the fraud charges have to be proved in court. But before you fall for the sob story about Mean Orange Man attacking the allegedly scrappy anti-racism warriors, take a look at the SPLC’s Form 990. That’s the financial disclosure form that non-profit corporations have to file with the IRS every year. Here’s the latest, which is archived on the ProPublica website. Filed in 2025, it covers the period ending in October of 2024. With about $129 million a year in both revenue and expenses, the SPLC reported total assets of, read this number carefully, $786,768,246.

They’re closing in on an $800 million nest egg. On pg. 11 of the Form 990, you’ll find that they have close to $750 million of that money invested in securities. They own corporate stocks and they’re mad about racism, in that order.

There’s a reason the watchdog organization CharityWatch gives the SPLC an F as a charity: They keep doing aggressive fundraising while they have far more money than they need to pay for their actual work.

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), currently the subject of a massive federal indictment, pressured the Biden administration to release a sex offender convicted of sexually assaulting a child.

According to The Daily Wire, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) records obtained via a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request contained a 2021 email from an SPLC attorney, asking that Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “release” a detained Phillipine woman who identifies as a man “as soon as possible.”

The Oversight Project reported in August 2025 that the inmate, who held a green card, had served 8 years after having been convicted of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl.

A federal grand jury indicted the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on Tuesday for allegedly making fraudulent payments to racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).

“The SPLC is manufacturing racism to justify its existence,” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement announcing the charges. “Using donor money to allegedly profit off Klansmen cannot go unchecked. This Department of Justice will hold the SPLC and every other fraudulent organization operating with the same deceptive playbook accountable. No entity is above the law.”

According to a Justice Department press release, the SPLC — which has often put targets on the backs of nonviolent conservative organizations by falsely labeling them as “hate groups” — has been charged with 11 counts of “wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering.” Per the presser, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Alabama Northern Division “filed two forfeiture actions to recover alleged proceeds of the organization’s fraud scheme.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a far-left outfit that disparages conservative organizations by categorizing them as “extremist” alongside actual racist groups, was indicted by a federal grand jury Tuesday night for wire fraud and conspiracy to commit concealment money laundering. According to the indictment, the SPLC secretly funneled more than $3 million it received from unsuspecting donors toward racist groups by paying “a covert network of informants” who were part of “violent extremist groups.”

One of the SPLC’s chief activities is what it calls “tracking hate,” which includes cataloguing racist groups like the Ku Klux Klan as well as mainstream civil liberties groups like Alliance Defending Freedom. The smear campaign it wages against Christian and conservative organizations by equating them to actually extreme groups threatens not just their reputations but their fundraising prospects and even their physical safety. In 2012, a gunman opened fire at the D.C. office of the Family Research Council, intending to “kill as many as possible” because he didn’t “like what they stand for.” He told law enforcement afterward that he was inspired by the SPLC’s inclusion of the Family Research Council on its list of so-called “hate” groups.

The Federalist has also found itself in the SPLC’s crosshairs. In the summer of 2017, the SPLC posted an article under its “Hatewatch” category attacking The Federalist as a “rabidly partisan” purveyor of “anti-LGBT and specifically anti-trans writings.”
