Page is a former actor who has appeared in small roles on TV shows such as "American Horror Story" and "Constantine." He dubbed himself "the world's sexiest Albino model and actor" on his Vimeo account, a video sharing platform, the Daily Mail reported.
Authorities say funds in the Black Lives Matter of Greater Atlanta Inc. bank account "ebbed and flowed" after he established the account in 2018, seeing highs exceeding $5,000 and lows of -$12.42.

Page reportedly tried to conceal his ownership of the property, with the real estate transaction outlining the purchase was "by and between Hi Frequency Ohio via Sir Maejor Page" and a real estate agent. Page also purchased a handgun and two AR-15s, totaling roughly $3,000, a month after buying the real estate, according to an FBI agent’s testimony at the trial.
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation responded to the allegations against Page in 2020, following his arrest, saying that he "has continued to compromise the integrity of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, supporters, and allies."
"Our stance remains that Mr. Page is not affiliated with Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation," the group continued at the time.
Black Lives Matter released another statement Thursday reiterating that it is "unassociated with Sir Maejor Page and the organization he founded."
"Black Lives Matter Foundation, the global organization powering Black Lives Matter, is unassociated with Sir Maejor Page and the organization he founded," BLM said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital. "Anyone can start an organization and add the words Black Lives Matter to it in an attempt to muddy the waters of our movement. There exists no affiliation, past or present, between the two entities. Any purported ties between the two are unequivocally baseless and untrue."
Page is facing trial in Toledo, Ohio, in a case presided over by U.S. District Judge Jeffrey Helmick, the Toledo Blade reported. FBI agent Matthew DeSorbo, one of the lead investigators on the case, testified this week that the FBI did not find instances of Page directly soliciting donations through ads or direct messages, but said he believes Page "did mislead donors by not providing answers" to them on the legitimacy of the group.
DeSorbo presented the court with a handful of videos Page posted to social media to show how Page began wearing "fancy suits and sunglasses" in the summer of 2020 and appeared to be making "lavish purchases." DeSorbo detailed that Page bragged about owning "16 blue suits" and having "six figures," which DeSorbo argued could only mean donations to the phony charity, the Toledo Blade reported.

The videos also include Page boasting about the office space in Atlanta he had set up for the reportedly phony organization, "$150 dollar ties" and the position of a hotel room he stayed in.
"My room way up at the top…at the top top…they put the bottom feeders on these floors…." he said of the hotel room.
Page’s attorney, Charles Boss, pushed back that the videos were just evidence of a young man’s "braggadocio," the Toledo Blade reported, and that more than half the money that was raised was never spent, as the federal government seized $263,318 in 2020 when Page was arrested. He added that the real estate purchased in Ohio was intended for a "battered women's shelter."

Donors to the group also testified that they believed the group was connected to the national Black Lives Matter group, saying Page misrepresented his group by styling its name after the national organization.
The trial is anticipated to continue through the week, the Toledo Blade reported.
