Federal criminal charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center, including 11 counts of wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering, were returned by a grand jury in April 2026 and expanded in a superseding indictment two months later. Prosecutors allege the organization failed to disclose payments exceeding $3 million to informants inside extremist groups, raising donor funds under different pretenses and using banking channels to conceal the transfers. The SPLC entered a not guilty plea, moved to dismiss the case as vindictive prosecution tied to prior administration conflicts, and has described the evidence as insufficient. With proceedings still in pretrial stages and no verdict scheduled before year-end, trader pricing near even odds reflects uncertainty over whether the government can secure a conviction or whether the motion to dismiss will succeed.
