FOX NEWS: AOC's COS Saikat Chakrabarti “was on all sides of the scheme” while serving as Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign manager:
<><> Chakrabarti owned and operated Brand New Congress LLC,
<><> is signatory on all Brand New Congress LLC checks,
<><> sat on Justice Democrats PAC board,
<><> co-founded AOC's campaign money-machine....Brand New Congress PAC,
<><> handled Brand New Congress PAC checks,
<><> served as candidate AOC's campaign manager,
<><> now serves as elected AOC's COS.

========================================

The FEC complaint asserts that AOC's COS, Saikat Chakrabarti, early on established two PACs that raised big bucks for AOC's campaign:
<><> the "Brand New Congress PAC,"
<><> the "Justice Democrats PAC."

After mucho money was raised, Chakrabarti systematically transferred $885,000+ in PAC contributions to his private companies with similar names:
<><> the "Brand New Campaign LLC,"
<><> the " Brand New Congress LLC."

Saikat Chakrabarti's LLC's (private companies), unlike PACs, are exempt from reporting all of their significant expenditures.

NOTE WELL: it's a much-used criminal act to enrich oneself, to open bank accounts using similarly named
entities to siphon off money, to hide it from partners, associates, investors, etc.

SIPHONINGS A CINCH It's easy to siphon off money for oneself by putting checks into the new accounts with similar names, depositing checks that were made out to
the original entity. Even your bank advises that if a check-writer "mis-spelled" your name, to just endorse the check with the correct name.

AND PRESTO: a check made out to Brand New Congress PAC, is deposited in the Brand New Congress LLC account.
