[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5205653, member: 12952"] The Boston Globe named Monica Cannon-Grant a “Bostonian of the Year” in 2020. Boston Magazine called her “the best social justice advocate in Boston,” in a piece headlined “The People Who Gave Us Hope." She got a resolution of congratulations from the Boston City Council. The Roxbury Unity Community gave her the “Leader of Tomorrow Award." The Boston Celtics recently gave her and her family front-row seats to an exhibition game after lauding her as “a hero among us.” She founded a nonprofit called “Violence in Boston”. Monica Cannon-Grant, 41, and her husband Clark Grant, 38, of Taunton MA were charged in an 18-count indictment “in connection with a series of alleged schemes designed to defraud VIB and its donors, the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance and a mortgage lending business based in Chicago,” according to a statement from the US Attorney’s office in Boston. “Specifically, from 2017 through at least 2020, it is alleged that Cannon-Grant and Grant exercised exclusive control over VIB financial accounts and diverted VIB money to themselves through cash withdrawals, cashed checks, debit purchases and transfers to their personal bank accounts." The indictment alleges Cannon-Grant and Clark Grant solicited and received more than $1 million in donations and grants from individuals, charitable institutions and other entities between 2017 - 2021. She has a lawyer while her husband had to use a public defender. [/QUOTE]
