The indictment reveals donors believed their money was fighting extremism, but a significant portion allegedly paid for the couple’s personal expenses, including household bills. Authorities have traced $140,000 from the SPLC’s main account into their shared bank account, sparking intense scrutiny as the SPLC remains silent on the allegations.
