Smurfing

[dwb]

What is smurfing? “Smurfing” involves making many small financial transactions to avoid reporting thresholds (e.g., for money laundering). In political campaign law there are two important functions which are “bypassed”.

1. It is generally required that the actual name of the donor be assigned to each donation.
2. There are strict limits on how much an individual may contribute.

In “smurfing” (i.e. money laundering) these laws are ignored.

The attached report shows the financial contributions of just 72 individuals ages 76 and older to political campaigns. If you just look at the first name of the list, and their contributions appear at first glance to be a somewhat average representation of the whole, made almost 7,500 separate contributions to Corey Booker at an average of $12.23. Sorry, but I'm not accepting that as factual. No way!! This guy was 89 years old, living in Ca., and made 7500 separate political donations to a Senator from New Jersey. My guess is the man is either in a nursing home or dead. My other guess is nothing will ever be done about this.

Why?

That way the “masters of political money laundering” had hoped to stay “under the radar”. It worked for almost two decades. In the last few years investigative reporters such as James O Keefe, Peter Bernegger and Bob Cushman have foiled this great conspiracy that is believed to have laundered somewhere over a billion dollars in the last two decades through ActBlue with the probable complicity of the FEC.

Guest post by Bob Cushman – Investigative Reporter If I told you that 72 senior citizens that average 76 years old donated $10,357,000.00 in over 485,000 separate individual donations would you believe me?

Dinesh D’Souza was put in prison by the Clintons for donating $20k to a friend of his who was running for office.

I've never donated so much as a nickel to a politician or political party, and never will. My only share in the whole mess is to vote.

I once saw a video of an investigator talking to an elderly couple in Texas about tons of small donations they had made to Democrat politicians. They said they had not made ONE donation to the Dems. This was part of an investigation into ActBlue. Seems they laundered money by breaking large amounts into tiny donations and having them apparently come from people whose names they picked off the voter rolls. Since then I have not heard a word aboutbActBlue, let alone if anybody has been charged. It was a multi, multi-million dollar laundering scheme.

The current administration seems to be letting potentially hundreds if not thousands of criminals off the hook. No justice.

Well, this administration does not have the final word. They may look the other way; God won't. Judgement WILL come.

Smurfing is one of those scam types we had to learn about working at the bank.
