The O’Keefe Media Group (OMG) has uncovered what looks like a massive money laundering scam. The names of Act Blue donors in Maryland were used to move tens of thousands of small-dollar contributions from third parties without their knowledge.
Take for example Garland Riggs, a resident of Maryland who has made 31,073 contributions for a sum of over $230,000 from 2015 to 2022 according to FEC and state data. When approached at their doorstep by James O’Keefe, Mrs. Riggs and her husband were shocked by the figures. When told they were listed as giving over $230,000 Mr. Riggs said “No, not us,” before imploring O’Keefe to help him “get to the bottom of all this.”
Who is getting all this cash?
Both in Maryland and nationally, Warnock for Georgia, Amy for America, Progressive Turnout and many more Democratic PACs seem to be the common recipients of these contributions from what Bernegger calls “smurfs,” in accordance with its label as a term for those involved in the structure of money laundering.
Peter Bernegger at Election Watch is credited with flagging the money laundering operation and bringing it to the attention of OMG, which is investigating. The EPOCH Times and The Gateway Pundit are credited with similar stories but “real” journalists have not yet shown any interest.
If someone were using WIN RED to do this, they’d be all over it, but as it stands, O’Keefe is asking the growing army of grassroots investigators to jump in and see what can be uncovered.
It’s a huge story. If you can think of a way to contribute to what appears to be a massive campaign finance end around, please do.
