Less than 24 hours after a federal grand jury returned an 11-count indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center, the nonprofit posted a job listing for a new CEO, but forgot to mention the part about the federal charges.
The listing went live Wednesday on Daybook, a progressive job board. Salary: $450,000 to $525,000. Location: Montgomery, Atlanta, or “other major, well-connected Southern cities.”
What the listing does say is that the next CEO will “inherit a legacy of courage and conviction” and reassures applicants that the job is “not subject to any strenuous physical demands or dangerous conditions.”
What it does not say is that on Tuesday, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel charged the SPLC with six counts of wire fraud, four counts of false statements to a federally insured bank, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering.
Prosecutors allege the organization funneled more than $3 million in donor money between 2014 and 2023 to informants drawn from the Ku Klux Klan, the neo-Nazi National Alliance, and the Aryan Nations, using shell bank accounts with names like “Fox Photography” and “Rare Books Warehouse” to route cash onto prepaid debit cards.
