The Election Fairness Institute (EFI) has uncovered a massive money laundering scheme taking place at ActBlue, a left-wing political action committee (PAC) shilling for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

While looking into a widely known money laundering scheme at ActBlue called "smurfing," the EFI identified 422 identical contributions to the PAC, all of which were made on June 30, 2023.

A total of 422 people made the same exact cash contribution amount to ActBlue on that day, in other words, all of that money earmarked for Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.).

After the EFI looked into the possible connections between the donations, it was revealed that many of the addresses and phone numbers used are suspicious.

All of the individuals had either just moved or just changed phone numbers, which makes the contributions improper under Federal Election Commission (FEC) campaign finance rules.

Why was ActBlue's headquarters bought and sold multiple times on the same day?

First established in early 2005, ActBlue was created to be a "massive political war chest," and through suspicious means.

A series of "fictitious sales" took place "off-the-books" that brought the questionable PAC into existence.

As one example, ActBlue CFO Nichole Marie Spaulding had recorded ownership interest in a single-family residence located in South Glastonbury, Conn., that just so happens to also be listed as ActBlue's "headquarters."

The sale of the home, or "headquarters," was recorded on May 18, 2015, the same day that the same home or "headquarters" was purchased multiple times: the first for $502,500.000 with a $402,000.000 mortgage from Washington Trust Company.

"One the same day, the home appears to have been sold again for $50,250,000.00, but with no recorded mortgage or deed of trust, in a private sale showing a loan amount of $40,200,000.00," writes Mark Finchem for Your News.

"This is normally considered a 'hard money loan,' consisting of cash, and is circumstantial evidence of a money laundering scheme. The mechanism is of secondary importance; it is the inflated value that suggests money laundering. Considering the possibility of a Scribner's error, research continued into dealings of other officers of record listed as ActBlue executives."

A similar odd situation surrounds ActBlue CEO Regina Jones-Wallace, who has four separate residences in the public record that show similar activity to that of Spaulding and her property.

It turns out that there are a whole bunch of properties that were bought and sold repeatedly at varying cash amounts that all link back to ActBlue.

It appears as though the entire operation is a money laundering scheme that, just in time for the 2024 election, is now being unraveled.

According to Finchem, figuring out where all that laundered money came from as well as where it all went is a challenge.

"Tracing where the original money came from will be difficult; without access to a system called FinCen, which provides visibility to where the money comes from and where it goes, that will be virtually impossible without nothing short of a Congressional grant of authority," he writes. "The flow is convoluted."

"The likelihood that this operation is tied to BRICS is high because of the amount of cash involved, this is essentially bulk cash smuggling. Huge trends occurred where people were buying up houses with cash (hard money 'loans' that will never be perfected). This is the vehicle for how funds were legitimized entering the U.S. Financial System. One scenario is to have dozens, or hundreds, of people slowly pumping in money and / or commingling the funds to deposit cash under the radar. Then, transfers of real property were not regulated by FinCen until the end of September 2024."

ActBlue donations could be enormous online fundraising scandal

One of the largest Democratic fundraising platforms, ActBlue, is now under investigation by a House committee and multiple state attorneys general over allegations of illegal donations.

A Republican strategist from Wisconsin even claims that ActBlue stole his identity to make hundreds of donations to left-wing causes.

ActBlue is the remarkably successful online fundraising system that the Democrats have been developing now for years. This year, it probably will raise a billion dollars off of credit cards.

People get on it. They can pick the candidate they want to support. Sometimes they get on a recurring basis, you know, $20 a week or $50 a month. And it’s been very successful.

Except it now turns out that a part of ActBlue may be open to fraud on a pretty grand scale.

Of the billion dollars that has been raised so far on ActBlue in this election cycle, $400 million was raised without learning what the security code on the credit card was.

Now, if you look at your credit card, you have that little security code. The reason that’s there is it’s proof that it’s really you, because people can lift the actual card number, but if they don’t have that security code, they can’t prove that it’s a valid card.

Well, ActBlue does not require the security code.

Now, why does that matter? Because somebody can hack in, take your card. It’s basically identity theft in the classic sense.
