Bernie Sanders is using the company Old Towne Media LLC as a tool to funnel millions of campaign dollars to himself

Old Towne Media LLC is an ad buying company that handles the majority of ads for the Sanders campaign. When you google Old Towne Media LLC you’ll see two names associated with it: Barbara Abar Bougie and Shelli Hutton-Hartig. They are associates of Jane Sanders from his 2006 campaign where all 3 worked as media buyers for Sanders. His wife and daughter worked as ad buyers for Sanders, together making a salary of $160,000 at one point. The company has only reported payments from Bernie’s campaign and no others. At the end of the 2016 election Old Towne Media LLC billed the Sanders campaign $82,773,463. At this point it looks like the company exists to act as a middleman for his campaign ads, charging 15% commission on every ad. There isn’t much information out there saying what the company is worth and where the money goes. At this point it’s safe to say that Old Towne Media LLC is his OWN company. This may explain why, even after 40 years of public service, Bernie is estimated to only be worth $2 million, unlike Hillary and the Bidens who are worth millions more. The Sanders family is careful to hide all their assets far away from them, in companies that look like they are owned by independent people. I think it’s safe to say that Bernie’s REAL net worth has to be more than 14 million dollars at the very LEAST. Who knows what other companies are set up to hold his money.

If Old Towne Media LLC charged Bernie $82,773,463, and that also includes the 15% commission, then the company profited $12,416,019.45. But that is only what we can assume. Here’s a quote from a local opinion article ( https://foxwilmington.com/headlines/peter-schweizer-bernie-sanders-rails-about-common-good-but-public-service-has-made-him-and-his-family-rich/ )

“Typically, a media buyer receives a commission of about 15 percent of the cost for a media campaign. So if a campaign were to spend, say, $1,000,000 on television ads, the media buyer would pocket a $150,000 commission. But here’s the kicker: the media buyer commission is not actually disclosed anywhere. Filings with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) only require disclosure of the bulk amount of the media buy. In this example, the FEC report will only disclose the $1,000,000 media buy. And as for the fact that Jane Sanders is the spouse of a politician, she is only required to disclose that she earns “more than $1,000” from her businesses.”

But there’s more. While Sanders is a huge critic of Saudi Arabia, the two people above associated with Old Towne Media LLC, Abar Bougie and Shelli Hutton-Hartig, also run Canal Partners Media which serve as ad buyers that include international campaigns, one example is a pro-Saudi interest group where the company made a $20,000 commission.
