Cashier working at Target made 797 contributions to political parties in one day. #Smurfing
Over six years, she made a staggering 7,191 contributions of $43,000. With $5,801 of it going back to her.
Per the FEC, the average number of contributions per year an individual makes is 1.4, of people making political contributions.
BUT: the cashier did not make all those contributions, or give all that money, nor receive $5,801 back. This is not a simple case of misappropriation, but a large-scale, fraudulent scheme to criminally launder money into political campaigns.
The money returned goes back into the "system" for the next campaign, the next election. We've also seen this with extremely large amounts of money, such as FTX, Samuel Bank Freidman, George Soros PACS, etc.
Smurfing is structured criminal money laundering into political campaigns using the names and addresses of senior citizens without their knowledge.
