From the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/02/12/f-e-c-tells-sanders-campaign-that-some-donors-may-have-given-too-much/?_r=0

From USA Today: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/02/26/bernie-sanders-campaign-contributions/80999298/

From the Burlington Free Press: http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/news/

FEC Letter of February 11, 2016: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/988/201602110300034988/201602110300034988.pdf

FEC Letter of February 25, 2016: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/619/201602250300038619/201602250300038619.pdf

You can see the donations for yourself in the letter links. There are several one-time donations >$2700, in addition to several persons who have made several smaller contributions where the total exceeds the maximum donation allowable. The latter situation is certainly more understandable than the former. There are also several individuals with foreign addresses where donations have raised red flags.

I am currently traveling and visiting family and friends in the West so am not on DU all that often. I just saw your response about an hour ago.
