While I'm sure that sort of image isn't what the founders of BLM had in mind, how the group has been portrayed is a bad look.  As for Antifa?  I'm convinced that was pretty much the same group (or ones similar) that were paid to "protest" on behalf of BLM.

I haven't heard about any "wealthy forces" hiring and paying people to riot and act out in the name of BLM. If so, the blame should not fall on BLM is someone is setting them up.  I'd be thankful for any links I can evaluate.

I am not a member of Antifa and don't condone their tactics.  I am just saying that if they break a window, then the same law should apply to them as everyone else. But since their goal is to end racism, I still don't put them in the same category as groups who want to elevate racism to political and legal criterion of worth. If I am a judge, none of that factors into my decision. I don't say $500 fine for the non-racist and $1000 for the racist.
