Most Corrupt Series: Al Sharpton | Untouchable Race Hustler

Al Sharpton built his reputation as a fiery civil rights activist and national media figure, but behind the speeches and marches is a decades-long trail of financial questions and political deals. From early ties to New York street politics to his role as a kingmaker in Democratic circles, Sharpton’s career is filled with controversy that goes far beyond the headlines.Federal tax liens, nonprofit investigations, unpaid debts, and backroom negotiations have repeatedly surfaced over the years, raising concerns about how Sharpton manages both his organizations and his public influence. Court records, IRS filings, and investigative reports reveal a pattern of late payments, settlements, and special treatment that few public figures could survive.This episode examines the money, the networks, and the political leverage that shielded Sharpton from serious consequences. Using public records, media investigations, and firsthand accounts, we break down how one man turned activism into a powerful and profitable machine, and why the system allowed it to continue.
