As a follow up to this after doing some more digging here, I think that Cd-1 candidate Richard Ashooh must have taken out another mortgage on his home. Interest rates are at historical lows! I suspect this must be the case because he is reporting a loan to his campaign of $25,000.00 (here) but according to his original filing the only reported asset/investment he has is his home.
There were no bank accounts or investment funds to speak of. Nothing you could squeak a cool $25K out of, so hello EastWest Mortgage. Or maybe he could call Sean Mahoney, for some reason Sean knows a ton of people in Real Estate.
Wait a minute. I bet this one of those "secret bank accounts." Yeah, that has to be it. Because someone as smart and savvy as Rich Ashooh would never make a mistake like forgetting to make sure all his assets and accounts were properly listed on his FEC filing.
Secret back accounts. That’s probably it. I bet there will be some kind of investigative reporting too, maybe by Fergus Cullen or that guy who supports Bob Bestani. They are all over this kind of thing. Maybe they’ll turn up that "amended" FEC disclosure of assets as well and then we’ll know where Richard’s "secret" bank accounts are.
Just wait for it. (…) Any day now. (…) Any day.
