A top Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) official reportedly dated a white supremacist and helped funnel $1.2 million in donor money to him.
The official, SPLC Director of Intelligence Heidi Beirich, 58, was very close to an informant known as “F-9” who was a member of the white supremacist group known as the National Alliance, according to a Department of Justice (DOJ) indictment reviewed by the New York Post.
““[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9,” the indictment reads. “During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts.”
The SPLC built an empire accusing other people of hate.
Now, according to federal prosecutors, the same organization was allegedly funneling donor money to people inside actual hate groups.

Even worse, between 2015 and 2021, Beirich helped funnel donor money from the SPLC’s operating account to her and F-9’s shared bank account.
“[Beirich] then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses,” according to the indictment.
Perhaps the worst part is that while F-9 was getting paid big by the SPLC, he was also raising money for the National Alliance and participating in its “extremist activities.”
Confronted by the Post with this info, National Alliance Chairman William White Williams, 78, blasted Beirich.
“I knew it was that fat, ugly hog Heidi Beirich,” he said. “I think some of those cluckers wanted to get out of the movement, and they went to the SPLC for help. But instead of helping them, [the SPLC] said, ‘why don’t you stay in and get paid?'”
These findings come about a week or two after the DOJ launched a “superseding indictment” against the SPLC.
“The superseding indictment builds on an 11-count charge that the Justice Department filed against the SPLC in April,” according to Fox News. “The new document alleges how $4 million worth of donations to the SPLC were used by informants to, in part, grow extremist groups, buy materials for cross burnings, and purchase materials to make KKK robes and hoods.”
“The DOJ says some SPLC workers knew that donor money was being used for these activities. And in one instance, federal prosecutors allege an SPLC employee actually encouraged two people to remain in the KKK, even though they wanted to leave, and offered to pay them a $1,200 monthly salary to stay,” Fox News’ report continues.
Federal prosecutors have expanded their case against the Southern Poverty Law Center, alleging the group hid from donors that millions of dollars were used to fund informants inside extremist organizations, including activities tied to the KKK.

The SPLC has sought to defend itself by alleging that it worked in tandem with the authorities, sharing all its findings with them. The DOJ doesn’t buy it.
“The Justice Department says the SPLC committed wire fraud by hiding from donors how their funds were being used, creating a series of shell accounts to pay informants,” according to Fox News. “Yet the group’s revenue continued to grow from roughly $39 million in 2010 to $129 million in 2023.”
According to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, the SPLC “nearly tripled” its revenue after the manufactured Charlottesville controversy.
“They almost tripled their revenue after the now famous Charlottesville rally, where a person was killed, and one of the guys they were paying was promoting that rally, coordinating transportation,” he told Fox News. “After that rally, they almost tripled their revenue.”

Jordan also implicated the Biden administration.
“The Biden Justice Department knew about this,” he argued. “They were investigating it, but they didn’t bring the charges, and I think the reason is obvious.”
“Well, of course, you can’t charge them when you’re making them the standard — when you’re working with [them]. They actually had Southern Poverty Law Center people come in and help train the prosecutors in the Biden Justice Department,” he added.
