D.C. Attorney General Sues Anti-Police Activist for Alleged Misuse of $75K in Donations
Brandon Anderson, founder of Raheem AI, is accused of misappropriating funds for personal expenses and failing to pay wages to the nonprofit's sole D.C.-based employee.
- Brandon Anderson, founder of the nonprofit Raheem AI, allegedly used $75,000 in donations for personal expenses, including luxury travel, designer clothing, and veterinary bills.
- The D.C. Attorney General's lawsuit claims Anderson spent over $40,000 on high-end vacation rentals, $10,000 on a Cancun trip, and $10,000 on designer clothing, among other expenses unrelated to the nonprofit's mission.
- Raheem AI, which aimed to provide alternatives to police intervention and improve law enforcement accountability, raised $4.3 million but failed to deliver on its promised projects.
- The nonprofit's sole D.C.-based employee, Jasmine Banks, reportedly went unpaid for months and was allegedly forced to sign an illegal noncompete agreement.
- The lawsuit seeks to dissolve Raheem AI, recover misused funds, and bar Anderson from leading any nonprofit in D.C. in the future.
