Gave a million dollars to a neo-Nazi group that years before the SPLC declared was dead.

Suffers from evidentiary weakness.
Has no clear legal precedent.
They claim "SPLC misled and defrauded donors" yet can't seem to name a single donor who complained...
I hope DoJ loses - and I hope the SPLC sues DoJ and wins

How do you know this?
DP. Easy: look at their website.
What part of the website shows “it’s become a large money driven corporate machine that has millions in offshore accounts”? Please link to it.

The characterization of the SPLC as a "large money driven corporate machine" is obviously a matter of opinion, but the 990 posted on their website show that the SPLC took in $129,000,000 in revenue in FY2024 and reported assets of over $800,000,000. The Schedule F shows more than $30,000,000 in investments outside the US, specifically in central America and the Caribbean.
So? How’s that prove they are “large and money driven”?
Many tiny colleges that no one has ever even heard of have endowments that are larger than that.
The SPLC puts so much $$$ into its mission of helping poor people with legal matters that it can barely keep its own lights on in the office.
Reread the first sentence of the post you're quoting. Especially the words "obviously a matter of opinion."
Ok, so the poster was full of it, which we knew.
