Former Facebook diversity manager’s scam reveals that inclusion is a sham

It has been discovered that when you hire individuals to be part of a large-scale scam, such as corporate Diversity, Equity and Inclusion programs, they act as though they are indeed part of a scam.

Take for example, Barbara Furlow-Smiles, who was in charge of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts at Facebook from 2017 to 2021. 

It turns out that she was promoting inclusion of Facebook funds into her own hands and those of her friends and family. 

She linked corporate credit cards to payment platforms like Venmo, then used those accounts to provide cash to friends in exchange for services that did not exist, with kickbacks to her.

Furlow-Smiles then created fake expense reports to cover up the theft. 

She also persuaded the social network to direct business to her acquaintances, who then sent the company fake or inflated invoices, which Furlow-Smiles supposedly approved in exchange for kickbacks. 

Overall, this felonious “champion of the marginalized” stole more than $4 million.

In short, Meta fell for DEI nonsense and is now dealing with the consequences of public embarrassment.

However, Furlow-Smiles was ultimately stealing from Meta’s shareholders, many of whom are average individuals.

This summer’s landmark Supreme Court victory against racism in college admissions has made corporate America increasingly nervous about its own wrongdoings in this area.

And resistance to the idea that any company should spend a penny on this morally deficient nonsense is growing.

The case of Barbara Furlow-Smiles simply exposes the deception that DEI has always been.
