Based on the details in the June 2 superseding indictment, “Employee-2” is believed to be Heidi Beirich, a 58-year-old fascism expert who was the director of intelligence at the Alabama-based anti-extremism nonprofit between 2012 and 2019. 

The indictment alleges Beirich was very close to the informant known only as “F-9” who “infiltrated the neo-Nazi organization National Alliance.” “[Beirich] was also in a romantic relationship with F-9. 

During this relationship, [Beirich] and F-9 shared a house and two bank accounts,” the indictment alleges. “Between 2015 and 2021, approximately $140,000 in donors’ money flowed from the SPLC operating account … and was ultimately deposited into the joint bank accounts held by F-9 and [Beirich]. 

“This amounted to approximately 66% of all money ever deposited into their joint bank accounts. [Beirich] then used donors’ money to pay the couple’s personal living expenses.” 

The indictment also claims that while getting paid by the SPLC, the unnamed informant was also raising money for the National Alliance and helping to “carry out its extremist activities.” 

The indictment describes how a source broke into National Alliance’s headquarters in West Virginia in 2014 and “stole approximately 25 boxes of documents,” took them over state lines into North Carolina and copied them, before returning the originals. 

In 2015, Beirich wrote an article allegedly based on the stolen materials for her group’s “Hatewatch” section of its website. That article, “Chaos at the Compound,” is still available. 

The indictment then describes how the SPLC tried to cover up who their informant was by paying a second informant “approximately $6,000” to take responsibility for the burglary. Beirich and SPLC did not respond to requests for comment from The Post. 

“I knew it was that fat, ugly hog Heidi Beirich,” National Alliance chairman William White Williams, 78, told The Post from his home in east Tennessee. He also confirmed the details of the indictment match what happened to the group. 

“I think some of those cluckers wanted to get out of the movement and they went to the SPLC for help. But instead of helping them, [the SPLC] said, ‘Why don’t you stay in and get paid?'” he added of the informants.
