  > The FEC is the branch that should be flagging it if anyone. Thanks - I corrected my comment. I was thinking FEC, but writing "SEC", probably because FTX is involved. More to your point - the FEC does not have a 30,000-foot view of finance flows into political campaigns and mostly relies on self-reporting. Contrast this to the breadth and depth of data vacuumed up by the Treasury department for Counter Terrorist Financing enforcement. > I’m less concerned about the wealth class than foreign citizens and governments though This has already happened on the record with the NRA, charges were filed, but it seems people collectively shrugged shoulders and moved on. Will it happen again? Absolutely. > Seems like we have a wide open gate that is intentionally being left open. Agreed, and the people in charge are ensuring the sound-proofed guardhouse next to the gate has no windows, and guests have to announce their arrival by shouting loudly. As Upton Sinclair observed: It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it
