Ex-Atlanta BLM Leader Sentenced to 42 Months for Spending Donated Funds on a House and Escort

The former head of Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta has been sentenced to 42 months in prison for misusing donation funds to sustain his lavish lifestyle and even pay for escort services.

On Thursday, Tyree Conyers-Page, known as Sir Maejor Page, learned his fate after being convicted of wire fraud and money laundering after a six-day trial in April.  He was found guilty of diverting funds intended for the movement into his own pocket.

The investigation began in April 2020 when the FBI received alarming complaints about Page’s deceptive practices as a supposed BLM leader. It was discovered that he established BLMGA as a nonprofit, which, before 2020, showed very little financial activity. However, after the tragic death of George Floyd, donations skyrocketed to over $460,000 within just a few months.

Despite claiming that the funds were dedicated to movement-related initiatives, authorities revealed that Page splurged on personal luxuries like furniture, entertainment, and a $112,000 house in Toledo, Ohio. While he tried to pass off some of this spending as a “reasonable salary,” he openly admitted he never consulted the organization about his compensation. He also spent an undisclosed amount on at least one sex worker.

This latest conviction is not Sir Maejor’s first brush with the law. He has a troubling history of impersonating law enforcement officers in Georgia from 2014 to 2016, including instances where he was caught wearing police uniforms and carrying weapons. After these incidents, he distanced himself from the original Black Lives Matter of Atlanta and formed BLMGA.

Page’s background also includes a failed bid for an Atlanta City Council seat in 2016 and minor acting roles in popular shows like American Horror Story and Constantine.
