Interesting thread. And I’m am more than sure that this can’t be the first time. (meaning candidate and laundering)

I see that 35,000 contributions totaling over $3 million are in really odd dollar and cents amounts. The other oddity is that these kind of donations were made in larger and larger numbers (meaning in from numbers of donors) as time went on in the campaign.

The "odd dollar and cents amounts" could mean charges to stolen credit cards to make it appear these were legit purchases rather than even-numbered contributions that would stand out on one's c/c bill.

Wonder if it has something to do with the recent c/c hack of retailers.

The DOJ said the information hacked from retailers including TJX Cos, BJ's Wholesale Club, OfficeMax, Boston Market, Barnes & Noble, Sports Authority, Forever 21 and DSW was stored on two servers in Ukraine and Latvia - one with more than 25 million credit and debit card numbers and another with more than 16 million numbers.
