James Kaufman, World News Report today. Former Southern Poverty Law Center CFO arrested on fraud charges. Accused for secretly funneling payments to white supremacist groups. Former Southern Poverty Law Center CFO, Heidi B. Rich, what a name, was arrested in California and hit with fraud charges on Wednesday. B. Rich oversaw the payments to the informants and said that KKK and other white supremacist groups received money from the Southern Poverty Law Center. Justice Department in April indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts, including wire fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted for secretly funneling more than $3 million in funds to members of white supremacists and extreme groups, according to DOJ. A grand jury in the Middle District of Alabama returned an 11-count indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center. In April, acting Attorney General Blanch said the grand jury indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on six counts of wire fraud, four counts of bank fraud, and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. On Wednesday, a new indictment was unsealed charging Heidi B. Rich with fraud. CNN has reported the former chief financial officer of the Southern Poverty Law Center has been arrested in California for her alleged role in overseeing secret payments to informants inside of white supremacist groups, one of whom she was allegedly living with and had a romantic relationship with at the time. The woman, Heidi B. Rich, previously ran the Southern Poverty Law Center's project tracking hate groups in the U.S. and allegedly oversaw payments of donors' money to people inside of these hate groups, according to the indictment. Prosecutors now say she shared a bank account with one of those sources, which included funds from the Southern Poverty Law Center's payments. I believe she was part of the effort to open bank accounts in completely fictitious company names and make payments to individuals for reasons that were not accurate as described, Attorney General Todd Blanch said at a news conference Wednesday, so they were embezzling donors' money. Quote, this is exactly what we said would happen in a case like this, which is that our investigators and the U.S. attorneys and agents working the case will keep working it even after any initial indictments. U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanch confirmed that Heidi B. Rich has been arrested. Blanch said that a new indictment was unsealed alleging B. Rich participated in the scheme to open bank accounts and make payments to white supremacist groups and embezzle funds. Ladies and gentlemen, let's listen. Against the former chief financial officer of the Southern Poverty Law Center, can you please speak a little bit about what you've learned as part of that investigation and if we should expect more charges? So, yes, today, my understanding is today there was an arrest made and there is a new indictment that includes the former CFO of SPLC. I don't have any comments about whether—we've said from the beginning, everybody, not just me, But anybody who's talked about this case, like virtually every criminal case, the fact that an indictment is returned doesn't end the investigation. It's just part of the investigation in most cases, which is certainly true in this case. I think as alleged in the indictment, this individual participated in the scheme. as alleged. I believe she was part of the effort to open bank accounts and completely fictitious companies' names and make payments to individuals for reasons that were not accurate as described. But I don't have, I think the indictment was unsealed this morning. I don't have, or I believe it was unsealed this morning. I think the arrest was this morning. I don't have anything to say beyond that, except to say that this is exactly what we said would happen in a case like this which is that um our investigators and the u.s attorneys and the and the agents work on the case will can keep on working it even after the initial indictment it is alleged that she either made payments to or obtained money to material false and fraudulent pretenses in the amount of 4.2 plus million dollars during her tenure god bless you guys always a democrat Let's hope they put her under the jail.
