White Collar Fraud report claims network of Soros-connected charities funneled $40M to Zohran Mamdani in tax-dodge scheme
from the link:
Zohran Mamdani's campaign is facing explosive allegations that it benefited from tens of millions of dollars in donations funneled from George Soros-linked charities as part of an elaborate scheme that may have violated federal tax laws.
The 34-year-old State Assemblyman's team has always claimed that he rose from obscurity to become New York City's mayoral front-runner thanks to an organic, grassroots movement involving many small donations and hundreds of young people with backpacks canvassing on his behalf.
But the Daily Mail can reveal that that narrative is now being called into question according to a report from a watchdog website.
The findings, from conservative investigative site White Collar Fraud, alleged that a network of tax-exempt organizations connected to billionaire financier Soros shrewdly coordinated political and ground operations to support Mamdani in a scheme that involved laundering more than $40million in charitable donations through nonprofits and redirecting them into political activity.
Soros's group disputes the report's findings of improprieties, saying it is 'riddled with inaccuracies, false assumptions and misinformation'.
'The math isn't the only thing that doesn't add up,' a spokesman for the Open Society Foundation - that was founded by Soros and is now headed by his 40-year-old son Alex, told the Daily Mail.
'The grants it cited - many of which we were earmarked for specific projects and causes elsewhere around the country as we have disclosed - were made years before the mayoral race even began.'
But White Collar Fraud investigator Sam Antar told the Daily Mail Soros-affiliated entities may have violated federal tax laws. Antar has filed 11 whistleblower complaints with the Internal Revenue Service as a result of his investigation.
(The entire story appears to originate from the 11 whistleblower complaints filed by Sam Antar--investigatve reporting at its finest hour,IMHO)
Antar, who is a convicted felon and former CPA, now assists the government in white-collar fraud investigations and has lectured on such crimes on college campuses and at the IRS.
(sometimes if you can think like the criminals you can figure out what is going on)
He(Antar) called what he uncovered 'the manufacturing process of a generational political machine that has weaponized the income tax code'.
And he described Mamdani as 'a product of that machine.'(was there ever any doubt!!?)
Antar said he uncovered how Soros's tax-exempt organizations helped fund activities that 'mimicked what looked like a grassroots campaign', including large-scale door-knocking efforts.
'The problem is they weren't campaigning for a general cause like women's rights,' he said. 'They were campaigning for a specific candidate. And that's the rub.'
Under US tax law, a 501(c)(3) may fund a 501(c)(4) for nonpartisan purposes such as issue advocacy or civic engagement.
But that money is not supposed to be used to directly support or oppose a candidate, a line that can be difficult to prove without internal communications or evidence showing intent.

The chief accusation in Antar's investigation is that major 501(c)(3) charities, which are entities legally barred from engaging in partisan politics, channeled millions of dollars to affiliated 501(c)(4) social-welfare groups that can legally conduct limited political work.
Antar's more than 40-page forensic analysis, which includes receipts such as citations to IRS filings, campaign finance records, and internal reports, alleges that the same network of nonprofits that publicly describe themselves as 'partners' in various progressive causes simultaneously filed federal forms denying any coordination.
According to the report, this discrepancy suggests not clerical error but what it describes as 'systematic fraud.'
Antar alleges that this practice effectively 'launders' tax-deductible charitable contributions into campaign support.
While careful to avoid direct legal accusations, Antar said: 'The 501(c)(4)s have gone beyond what the IRS code allows.'
His report names the Open Society Foundation and five other groups linked to Soros.

NYC mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani in illegal donor scandal as records show Arab investor funding campaign
By LAURA PARNABY, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER

Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has taken almost $13,000 in potentially illegal foreign donations to fund his campaign, according to the New York Post.
The Democrat politician, who is leading the polls to become NYC's next mayor, has raked in donations from 170 people whose addresses are registered abroad, and so far, 88 have not been returned.
One donation comes from Mamdani's mother-in-law in Dubai, while $2,100 came from James Furlaud, an environmental scientist at Australia's University of Tasmania.
