Then reports surfaced of the purchase of expensive homes and other allegations of using BLM resources or funds for personal benefits. A $6 million Los Angeles mansion has been the most recent focus of these allegations of personal use of BLM assets. NB: The original column referred to Elias reportedly leaving the “board” of the group. The article reports that Elias left a “key role” and a “top spot” with BLM.
