Prosecutors Scrutinize Political Nonprofit Groups for Fund-Raising Fraud

[BidenPresident]

Federal prosecutors are scrutinizing at least 10 political nonprofit groups — including five recently profiled in The New York Times — seeking to determine if the groups defrauded donors, according to two recent subpoenas.

In the last five years, the Justice Department has charged a handful of other political operatives with fraud for running what prosecutors called “scam PACs.” Prosecutors said these groups deceived donors by promising that their money would be used to help politicians — then using it to enrich themselves.

"One of the two recent subpoenas was signed May 15, according to a copy obtained by The Times. It sought recordings of fund-raising calls from five nonprofits that The Times had profiled a day earlier: the American Police Officers Alliance, the National Police Support Fund, the American Veterans Honor Fund, the Firefighters and EMS Fund and the Veterans Action Network."

Never give to anyone who randomly calls you on the phone, man.

Good point.

"But about 90 percent of the money raised was used to pay for more robocalls. Another 3 percent was paid to three political operatives from Wisconsin, who appeared to be the driving force behind all five groups.

Only about 1 percent of their money was spent to help candidates, via donations, advertisements or targeted get-out-the-vote operations."

Starting with the scam artists of BLM?

Maybe the $150 million the Somali's stole from the government during the China virus debacle or the $100 million in their daycare theft will be prosecuted.

Starting? People have been using phone scams to fleece people long before BLM came along. I have never had a phone call from them asking for support. I have lots of police and fireman support. But I knew they passed a tiny pittance along.
