It's a sad day in the great socialist pyramid of lefty scams that is the Sanderverse as the scammers got scammed by scammers.
The political nonprofit launched by Sen. Bernie Sanders in 2016 lost nearly a quarter-million dollars to an email scam that year, according to new tax documents obtained by POLITICO.
Our Revolution “was the victim of a Business E-Mail Compromise scam that took place in December 2016 but was not discovered until January 2017, resulting in the loss of approximately $242,000 via an electronic transfer of funds to an overseas account,” the group disclosed in its tax forms covering the year 2017, which were filed earlier this month.
“Our Revolution worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Our Revolution's counsel and an independent cyber-security consultant in an effort to identify the thieves and to recover the funds but, unfortunately, these efforts were unsuccessful.”

Then Sanders got scammed for $242,000.
The article gives a great description of the sleazy Sanders accounts that were run by consultants who pocketed a share of the money.
Maybe the scam was just a money laundering scheme or an illegal payoff.
He wasn’t scammed! Cover up for illegal payments. Socialist millennials got scammed and Bernie got a beach house.
I can’t feel sorry for a guy who sold out for about a million dollars to Hillary and bought a $600,000 beach house right after the election. Ever notice how the Leftist pyramid scheme always favors a few rich guys at the top?
‘Our Revolution’, huh? That is the group that got the Maricopa County Recorder into power. ‘Our Revolution’ should die a painful death for promoting the destruction of our way of life.
I smell a rat too! You can bet that laundering of money was the case. The damnocrats are crooked to the core and this smells like Bernies soiled underwear.
So many of these commie/leftists are so corrupt...that I just have to question if they’d get ripped off THEMSELVES for a quarter million ...
on the rare occasions when that happened in the Mafia, someone would very quickly go anaerobic and horizontal (and receive a nice heavy coat of concrete for good measure)
just sayin... I don’t quite believe this report ...
No wonder Creepy Porn Lawyer wants to run. There’s money to be made!
Senator Sanders, have I ever mentioned that I’m a Nigerian Prince?
