This is how Democrats launder money. They have pretend people donate to campaigns. When asked the donors knew nothing about it.
“Block, a long-time Republican political strategist, alleged that his personal information was used over the previous five months to launder money 385 times to 62 different campaigns and political organizations, including 35 donations to the Harris Victory Fund, through the Democratic ActBlue fundraising platform. This comes after he discovered receipts for ActBlue contributions sent to his pseudonymous email address using the same fake name.
“While these fraudulent donations average out to a very small $3.24 per transaction, they conveniently fit into a loophole created by Federal Election Commission (FEC) reporting requirements,” the initial complaint states.
This has been caught in both Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Yet the California Republican Party has bee silent and done nothing. Wonder why we get outspent—we have been “smurfed” and those responsible for protecting us do nothing.
Wisconsin Judge Enforces Subpoena Against ActBlue in Lawsuit Over Fraudulent Use of Information for ActBlue Finance Money Laundering AKA “Smurfing”

A Wisconsin judge has approved a subpoena for documents requested in an October lawsuit alleging nearly 400 incidents of identity theft to make fraudulent donations to Democratic campaigns through ActBlue “smurfs.”
This could open the door for a range of ongoing investigations into the ActBlue fundraising platform.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the lawsuit alleging racketeering and identity theft filed by the America First Policy Institute on behalf of Plaintiff Mark Block.
Block, a long-time Republican political strategist, alleged that his personal information was used over the previous five months to launder money 385 times to 62 different campaigns and political organizations, including 35 donations to the Harris Victory Fund, through the Democratic ActBlue fundraising platform. This comes after he discovered receipts for ActBlue contributions sent to his pseudonymous email address using the same fake name.
“While these fraudulent donations average out to a very small $3.24 per transaction, they conveniently fit into a loophole created by Federal Election Commission (FEC) reporting requirements,” the initial complaint states.
During a November 21 hearing, Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad D. Schimel approved a limited demand for documents to show to what extent fraud was used to make these donations.
“Something is not right,” said Judge Schimel. “Plaintiff has set forth enough in their complaint and in support of their subpoena to demonstrate that there may be something here.”
The judge rejected some of the discovery requests for ActBlue’s fraud safeguards but allowed a more narrow request to determine how the likely fraudulent payments using Block’s email address were made.
ActBlue attorneys argued that they are “not a party to this action” and, therefore, not required to turn over requested documents.
However, the judge disagreed, calling ActBlue a “nonparty conduit for contributions” while noting that “something isn’t right” and expressing confusion over ActBlue’s “substantial resistance to sharing” information on the likely fraudulent donations.
