An actor turned Black Lives Matter activist who claims he is the 'world's sexiest albino' has been found guilty of setting up a bogus donations page to con supporters out of $500,000.
Sir Maejor Page, also known as Tyree Conyers-Page, used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle, splashing out on tailored suits, guns and a new home in Toldeo, Ohio, prosecutors said.
The TV star, 35, who has appeared in American Horror Story and Constantine, was convicted of wire fraud and money laundering charges on April 16 following an FBI probe.
Investigators outlined how he capitalized on the death of George Floyd to funnel donations through a Facebook page called Black Lives Matter of Atlanta he had set up years previously.
The page brought in almost half a million dollars in the wake of the killing, with donations rolling in even after the organization lost its federal tax-exempt status and its Georgia incorporation.

He used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle, splashing out on tailored suits, guns and a new home in Toldeo, Ohio , prosecutors said
The FBI raided the home and found two AR-15-style rifles and a Glock handgun worth more than $3,000 as well as receipts for other expensive goods
Page then moved to Toledo where he set up another charity called Hi Frequency Ohio, using the charity to purchased an $100,000 home, according to FBI agent Matthew Desorbo.
He testified that money from the charity's account was often used on restaurants and retailers in the Toledo area.
He added that Page tried to conceal the home purchase in a non-disclosure agreement stating the transaction was entered 'by and between Hi Frequency Ohio via Sir Maejor Page' and the seller's agent.
Page's lawyer claimed that the residence was to be used as a community center or 'battered women's refuge'.
But when investigators swarmed on the property, items recovered included two AR-15-style rifles and a Glock handgun worth more than $3,000 paid for using money transferred into his personal account from his BLM charity, Desorbo said.
The federal complaint alleged Page splashed more than $1,300 a security system, more than $2000 on tailored suits and $12,000 worth of furniture.
At his trial, the court heard about the conflicting sides of Page, WSB-TV Atlanta reports.
On one hand he was a well regarded social justice activist who had operated a BLM arm since the mid-2010s.
The court was shown video of Page bragging about being 'six figures in' while donning a pair of cufflinks

Page, pictured at the funeral for Civil Rights leader Rep. John Lewis, told the court he never deliberately misled donors over the funds
But former member Abelino Ruiz told the court he had been forced to distance himself from Page after his 'true colors' emerged.
'I am a man who works for justice, and Sir Maejor had become the oppressor,' he said, in explaining his decision to go to the FBI.
Other donors began to get suspicious about where there money was going after Page repeatedly posted footage of him dressed to the nines in swanky hotel rooms.
Video played to the court by an assistant U.S. attorney Robert Melching showed Page bragging about owning '16 blue suits' and having 'six figures'.
In one clip, he admonished 'naysayers' who queried his income by stating he was 'out here fighting for justice'.
In his opening arguments, Page's lawyer Charles Boss explained that the property was not intended for 'personal use'.
He also attempted to downplay the video of his client bragging about his new 'crib-o' as self-aggrandizement.
Page also took to the stand in his own defense stating that he 'never deliberately misled anyone when he took money from the charity'.
A former supporter of Page's said he approached the FBI after becoming suspicious over his apparently new found wealth
A forfeiture hearing is scheduled for April 22 and sentencing will take place at a later date, but Page could be facing up to 20 years in jail
Page refers to himself as the 'world's sexiest albino' and has made a career as a bit-part actor appearing most notably in American Horror Story: Coven
