If a person is not eligible wouldn’t taking in millions of campaign funds be considered criminal fraud?

Absolutely, and placing your name on a ballot knowing that you are ineligible is election fraud.

Any jurisdiction where such a candidate raised money or had her or his name on the ballot could launch a grand jury investigation, issue subpoenas for documents and to individuals compelling them to testify under oath and if the evidence is strong, a prosecuting attorney could issue indictments of such a person.
