Superseding Indictment Alleges SPLC Funded “Ku Klux Klan garments” and “Cross-Burning Events”
Asserts wide-ranging wire and bank fraud “to disguise the true nature, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid” to extremist group members SPLC supposedly was fighting.
On May 28, 2026, we covered how the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was seeking to throw out the Indictment against it, SPLC Wants Indictment Thrown Out For “Vindictive Prosecution”.
That motion is now moot (though it will be renewed), because on June 2, 2026, the feds obtained a Superseding Indictment (full embed at bottom of this post) which expands both the factual allegations and the criminal counts. Read the whole thing, but I’ve quoted some key parts below (all emphasis is added).
From the Introduction to the Superseding Indictment:
The Southern Poverty Law Center’s (“SPLC”) stated mission included the dismantling of white supremacy and confronting hate across the country. However, unbeknownst to donors, some of their donated money was being used to fund the leaders and organizers of racist groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Nations, and the National Alliance. The SPLC’s paid informants (“field sources”) engaged in the active promotion of racist groups at the same time that the SPLC was denouncing the same groups on its website. The SPLC also had a field source who was a member of the online leadership chat group that planned the 2017 “Unite the Right” event in Charlottesville, Virginia. That field source made racist postings under the supervision of the SPLC and helped coordinate transportation to the event for several attendees. In order to covertly pay its field sources, the SPLC opened bank accounts connected to a series of fictitious entities. The covert nature of the accounts allowed the SPLC to disguise the true nature, source, ownership, and control of the fraudulently obtained donated money the SPLC paid the field sources. In order to keep the scheme going, the SPLC made a series of false statements related to the operation of the accounts.
The Superseding Indictment summarizes the structure of SPLC’s alleged fraudulent operation:
10. Starting in the 1980s, the SPLC began operating a covert network of individuals who were either associated with violent extremist organizations or who had infiltrated such organizations at the SPLC’s direction. These individuals were referred to by some high-level employees within the SPLC as the “field sources” or the “Fs.” Upon entering into an agreement with an F, the SPLC assigned each F a unique number. The SPLC assigned these numbers in chronological order. The SPLC then paid the Fs with donor money.
11. Between in or about 2010 through in or about 2023, the SPLC secretly funneled approximately $4.1 million dollars in tax-exempt donor funds to a series of fictitious accounts described hereinafter. The general purpose of these fictious accounts was to pay Fs who were either leading or affiliated with multiple violent extremist organizations. Fs used the money donors gave to the SPLC to, among other things:
a. Attend extremist group rallies across the country;
b. Host extremist group rallies throughout the country;
c. Grow existing chapters of extremist groups;
d. Create new chapters of extremist groups;
e. Recruit new individuals into extremist groups;
f. Make donations to extremist group leaders;
g. Purchase materials for cross burnings;
h. Purchase materials to make Ku Klux Klan robes and hoods;
1. Create racist paraphernalia that extremist groups sold at rallies;
J. Publish extremist literature used in the recruiting of more members; and
k. Pay everyday living expenses, which allowed the Fs to focus on their extremistgroups rather than seeking other employment.12. Certain SPLC employees knew that Fs used donors’ money to actively recruit new members and grow their violent extremist organizations.
There allegedly were fictitious entities set up to conceal what SPLC was doing:
15. To secretly funnel donors’ money to the Fs, employees at the SPLC, including a person who would become the SPLC’s Chief Financial Officer (“Employee-I”) and the person who would become Director of the SPLC’s Intelligence Project (“Employee-2”) among others, opened and/or modified a series of bank accounts at Bank-I and Bank-2 in the name of various fictitious entities, including the following:
a. Center Investigative Agency (“CIA”);
b. Fox Photography;
c. North West Technologies (“North West Tech”);
d. Tech Writers Group (“Tech Writers”);
e. Rare Books Warehouse (“Rare Books”);
f. Imagery Ink;
g. J&J Electronics;
h. Kelly ‘s Marine; and
1. Turner Personnel16. These fictitious entities were never incorporated, had no bonafide employees, and conducted no legitimate business.
On Page 8 of Superseding Indictment the use of SPLC funds to build extremist groups through person “F-30” was alleged:
v. F-30 used donors’ money to, among other things, travel to extremist rallies, host extremist rallies, donate money to leaders of other extremist organizations, recruit new members into his extremist organization, publish racist and extremist material for the purpose of recruiting new members, both inside and outside of prison, and create racist paraphernalia to sell at rallies to raise more money for his extremist organization. This was known to certain SPLC employees as they continued to secretly funnel donors’ money to F-30.
On Pages 9-10 the funding to build up groups, including the Ku Klux Klan, and to pay for their activities was alleged:
v1. Using donors’ money, F-31 and F-32 attended extremist group rallies in multiple states. This led to F-31 rising from merely a group member to a leadership role within an extremist group. In the new leadership role, F-31 actively recruited new members using donors’ money.
v11. F-32 also participated in recruiting new members using donors’ money. In addition, an SPLC employee knew that F-32 used donors’ money to purchase material to make Ku Klux Klan garments for others.
v111. F-31 and F-32 were reimbursed by the SPLC with donor money for all expenses they incurred for cross-burning events to include the wood and fuel used.
Page 11 details allegations related to the 2017 Charlottesville “Unite the Right” rally:
iii. In 2017, F-37 was a member of the online leadership chat group that helped plan the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. SPLC Employee-3 directed F-37 to attend this event in which one woman and two law enforcement officers were tragically killed. F-37 assisted in arranging transportation for others involved in the movement to the event.
The Superseding Indictment goes on to list a series of alleged acts of concealment and alleged misrepresentations constituting wire and bank fraud.
So when you hear the media and SPLC supporters howl that SPLC has been indicted for “paying informants” just like other groups do, you will know it’s not what the case is about.

“It was a Fundraiser!”
“If evil did not exist it would be necessary to create it”.
Especially since the SPLC ain’t a law enforcement agency and doesn’t have any special authority to run undercover informants. Which their supporters and advocates usually skip right past in favor of using terms that leave the impression/muddy the water that their operations were somehow ‘official’. It was all part of the grift, find an ember, add tinder, stoke the flames and suddenly there’s a conflagration large enough to point out and ask for $.
You know who else funded and created groups to commit hate that resulted in riots? The nazi party. The acorn never fell far from the tree.
The vile, duplicitous and evil SPLC was funding and contriving racist agitprop and organized presence, in the U.S., because the actual supply of such racist sentiment and agitation was deemed to be too insufficient and inconsequential to be politically potent and useful.
The evil and mendacious Dhimmi-crats have always behaved thusly.
So George Soros and Neville Singham writ small?
Or just another facet of their global plan to destroy western civilization and the free market in particular?
you cant hate lefty enough!!!
How come I’ve never heard of any splc operatives who have been indicted?
There are vague references to, for example, SPLC employee 2, and other employees not identified by name. Critics of the Justice Department claim that, because the indictment identifies by name neither any of the “informants” nor any of the SPLC employees, no one an actually be arrested or convicted for any actual crime. Has Legal Insurrection inquired about this problem, if this criticism is correct?
Correction: My prior statement should read “can actually be arrested or convicted”
The biggest fraud may be that SPLC didn’t put itself on its “Hate Map”.
The only racists that I actually know are all liberals.
When a group’s actual outcomes are consistently viewed as “unintentional consequences,” one has to really wonder if the correct assessment should be “intentional.”
