The Department of Justice filed a superseding indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center on June 2 with new allegations and criminal counts regarding the group allegedly funding hate groups.
The New York Post reported that “Employee-2” is Heidi Beirich, who became SPLC’s director of intelligence between 2012 and 2019.
In 2014, F-9 broke into the headquarters of an extremist organization and stole approximately 25 boxes of documents. F-9 transported these documents across state lines from West Virginia to North Carolina. Thereafter, with the knowledge of Employee-2, donors’ money was used to copy the stolen material after which F-9 broke into the headquarters again and resturned the originals. Employee-2 used the copies, knowing they were stolen, as the basis for a story published on “Hatewatch.” The SPLC used this story to solicit more donations. Thereafter, Employee-2 paid approximately $6,000.00 in donors’ money to F-39 to falsely take responsibility for the burglary.
F-9 remained on the SPLC’s payroll for over 20 years, receiving $1.2 million in donors’ money.
Beirich paid all the informants, including F-9:
During this relationship, Employee-2 and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts. Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000.00 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account, through the Tech Writers account, and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and Employee-2. This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. Employee-2 then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses.
Beirich left the SPLC in 2019 during a major shakeup at the organization, which faced accusations of racism since white people held the top positions and black people stayed in the lower ranks.
Beirich never faced accusations, though.
Nobody knows the identity of F-9:
Property records reviewed by The Post reveal during the years covered by the indictment — 2010 to 2023 — Beirich owned a vacation home in Elijay, Georgia, an upscale mountain town north of Atlanta, in addition to her Montgomery, Alabama, residence.[National Alliance chairman William White] Williams said he, too, was stumped by F-9’s identity.However, he noted the group were somewhat paranoid and there had been suspicions about various members as who could be a turncoat or potential informant to any number of other groups or law enforcement.
We know the identity of F-39, the man who took the fall for the burglary:
The Post can also reveal the source paid to take the fall for stealing the National Alliance’s documents was Randolph Dilloway, described as “F-39” in the indictment, described as a “quirky” nearly-deaf accountant who bounced around six other “hate groups” before landing at National Alliance.Beirich herself gave his name away in a 2015 article published on the SPLC’s website describing the terrified defector with a goldmine of documents who came running to the SPLC for help after having a gun shoved in his face by Williams.“For five months, Dilloway organized, examined, and in many cases copied key documents and data files among tens of thousands of pages of sales receipts, donation records and ledgers,” she wrote.“Dilloway’s reputation in the white racist subculture has always been conflicted […] the quirky accountant has been exploited for his skills by at least a half dozen hate groups since 2004,” the article continued.
