Foreign money laundered into campaigns. About time this gets dragged back into the light of day.

From May 2021.

There's a deep rabbit hole here so get started if you're so interested.

*Here's the gist of it all:

Staying just under the FEC amt of $200 to avoid detection.

This was done via Pete Thiel's STRIPE Credit Card processing & 'Gift Cards' purchased by foreign interests & recurring donations under $200.

Trump used this method of enormous fundraising, as did Walleed Shahid, Zac Exley & Saikat Chakrabarti (who btw developed STRIPE when he worked for Silicon Valley Pete Thiel)

This is how their 'donors' remain undetected by FEC eyes.

Trump campaign & affiliated PACS claiming millions in 'grassroots donations', is the other Big Lie. That's how they support the many PACS & buy Social Media ads en masse. Like Facebook for one.

Putin & Foreign pay to play favors simply found a way to destroy the US Democracy from within, by purchasing their own elected officials.
Foreign money was laundered into campaigns via STRIPE & bogus named accts & prepurchased Gift cards with a recurring payment just under $200.
They purchased fake accts & gift cards by the $$milllions.

HERE'S THE STORY OF HOW FOREIGN MILLION$ WAS LAUNDERED INTO US ELECTION CAMPAIGNS, & WHO SET IT UP.

From MTG to Trump PACs, millions disguised as "grassroots donors" flowed in when larger dislosed donors dropped off.

A Must Read Twitter Thread that reveals the foreign money laundering that keeps the Media Purchased facade & the many BIG LIES afloat.

It is quite a stunning read as to who & how.

RWNJs spending all their time looking for ways to flout the campaign donations reqs.

2. I believe bitcoins are used to purchase Virtual Gift Cards, & the genius of Thiel's STRIPE

WINRED was another CrCard processor set up by the RNC & run thru Thiel's STRIPE.

4. Dark money will continue to influence all politics until we decide to publicly fund campaigns

10. We do publicly fund presidential campaigns.

Its right there on your income tax form where they ask if you want to donate to it. The trouble is that both parties have rejected public funds because they don't want to be held to the restrictions.

5. Wouldn't it be great if we had a department to investigate and stop this kind of thing?

We should really get one of those.

6. Update from August, 2021- Four Charged in Alleged $150 Million Payment Processing Scheme

Four individuals have been charged in the District of Massachusetts with conspiring to deceive banks and credit card companies into processing more than $150 million in credit and debit card payments on behalf of merchants involved in prohibited and high-risk businesses, including online gambling, debt collection, debt reduction, prescription drugs, and payday lending, according to an indictment unsealed today in Boston. Three of the four individuals charged were arrested today. The fourth defendant has not yet been arrested and is a fugitive on separate federal charges.

According to court documents, Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, 49, of Los Angeles, California, and Thomas Wells, 74, of Martin County, Florida, are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Mohammad “Moe” Diab, 45, of Glendale, California, and Amy Ringler Rountree, 38, of Logan, Utah, are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit bank fraud. Federal agents arrested Diab, Rountree, and Wells this morning. They are expected to appear in federal court in Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Utah, and Chicago, Illinois, respectively, later today or tomorrow. Khawaja is a fugitive from a December 2019 federal indictment filed in the District of Columbia that charges him, Diab, and others with campaign finance violations and obstruction of justice.

12. "Must read" is an understatement. It gives excellent insight into how campaign finances....

....can be manipulated.

It's not only on the receiving side, it's on the spending side too. Some candidates do a large percentage of their spending via credit card accounts (touched upon here, too) so the actual bottom-line recipients can be hidden.
