Aaron Tonken, the celeb party-thrower, who spilled the beans on Rosen, is in jail. In Tonken's book, King of Cons, he writes there was a lot of checks written on
non-profit Foundations going into DBA bank accounts with absolutely no accountability.
The Foundation check-writers were suckups who wanted to rub shoulders with celebs and politicans and were willing to break laws, and write mega checks for the privilege.
The whole point was to get celebs to political events.....but the altruistic celebs (/sarc) wouldn't show up unless they get big money, gifts including trips, costly watches and jewelry, limos, private planes.......and so on.
Tonken, Rosen, the greedy Clintons and the craven celebs all deserve each other.
I hope everybody reads Tonken's book. The details are amazing. Even Tonken could not believe what he was getting away with at the time. Now he's in jail.
