I suspect they have plausible deniability, i.e. the payment was just “back wages” or bonus or something.
But, it sounds like there is more of the iceberg yet to be exposed.
Yeah, the PAC was just sittin' around, doin' nothin', collecting millions, and suddenly, CheaTed gotta pay a girl some back wages. < /s >
Hmmmm....they should call that "deniable plausbiility".
"Yeahhhh, back wages - that's the ticket!"
