Neo-Nazi, Klan 'Cyclops' and ‘Sadistic’ biker: Here's who SPLC paid in its informant network

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) was indicted on federal fraud charges for a covert paid informant program that funneled over $3 million to individuals affiliated with white supremacist groups like the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi organizations between 2014 and 2023. Government officials accused SPLC of manufacturing extremism by paying informants to stoke racial hatred, including a key figure in the 2017 Charlottesville 'Unite the Right' rally.
