Political action committee ActBlue Charities Inc. is accused of a massive money laundering scheme that includes a long list of allegedly fraudulent donations, according to multiple independent reports.
Parker Thayer, a research fellow at the Capital Research Center, a think tank, said: X It shows tens of thousands of donations allegedly sent by a single individual.
“The Attorney General was made aware of this matter and immediately directed his office to investigate the allegations.”
“[ActBlue] “Donors across Michigan show a suspicious pattern,” Thayer wrote, “including one donor from the small town of Monroe who appears to have donated more than 20,000 times totaling more than $40,000 since 2019.”
“They live in a 1,000-square-foot home that was built in 1956,” Thayer added, noting that they would have had to donate blood about 10 times a day to reach the 20,595 donations since 2019.
Thayer cited several similar examples obtained through Federal Election Commission filings.
“There are dozens of other donors like the one above, and the reasons are two-fold: 1.) [ActBlue] “2) They prey on seniors with declining memory by repeatedly asking them to sign up for monthly contributions. 2) They’re running some kind of bogus donor scheme,” Thayer concluded.
James O’Keefe recently took to the streets to interview individuals who allegedly donated to ActBlue “thousands of times a year,” in some cases “over $200,000.”
“The results are shocking and indicate that ActBlue may be involved in a fraudulent money laundering scheme,” he said.
O’Keeffe writes: X“Cindy Nau of Annapolis, Maryland, allegedly made over 1,000 donations to ActBlue in 2022, giving a total of $18,849.77. That means Cindy would have had to donate three times every day for a year. When asked if she donated $18,850 to ActBlue, Nau responded: [O’Keefe Media Group]”No, I don’t think so.”
Some have called on state attorneys general to take action and investigate the suspicious donation activity.
“It is easy to spot them repeatedly making large donations to ActBlue using stolen identities and possibly stolen credit cards,” Charlie Kirk, founder and CEO of Turning Point USA, wrote to X.
“For example, one person in Virginia has been named on 22,619 donations since 2019 totaling over $800,000. Clearly she is being used in some kind of money laundering operation,” Kirk continued. “ActBlue is taking money from all 50 states. There are 50 state attorneys general. When are we going to see one of them take action?”
Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares responded to Kirk’s post on X, writing, “Please be assured that my office is aware of these allegations and we are investigating.”
When The Blaze News contacted Miyares’ office to confirm the investigation, a spokesperson said, “The Attorney General learned of the matter on Thursday and immediately directed his office to investigate the allegations. We are unable to comment further at this time.”
NOVA Campaign,Also, Suspicion of fraudI was grateful. Independent Reporter for spotting suspicious activity and bringing it to Mr. Miyares’s attention.
“This could be identity theft, serial money laundering or even large-scale campaign finance fraud. It is time for law enforcement to investigate,” NOVA Campaigns told Blaze News. “Americans are entitled to transparent elections and legitimate contributions given directly to federal elections. We support an investigation to determine whether these contributions are legitimate or expose the allegations of widespread money laundering into election campaigns.”
At the time of publication, ActBlue had not responded to Blaze News’ request for comment.
Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign Over $200 million in one weekThe Harris campaign said 66% of donations came from first-time donors.
