FORT COLLINS — A Larimer County woman has found herself part of a nationwide investigation into an alleged “smurfing” campaign by ActBlue, an online fundraising platform for Democrat candidates, progressive organizations and nonprofits.

In a report by the American Spectator, Sonia Immasche, of Fort Collins is shown to have donated $234,441 over a period of six years and two months in 57,138 separate ActBlue contributions under five different versions of her name, averaging out to $4.10 per donation.

“Smurfing” is a form of identity theft that uses the names of legitimate political donors to report numerous small donations repeatedly without their knowledge in order to hide larger donations that exceed legal limits or from donors who do not want their name on campaign finance reports.

I live in Ft. Collins, so I just HAD to look this woman up in my handy-dandy copy of the Larimer County Voter DB.

I've never doxxed anyone, and am not going to start now, but I will tell you that she was born in 1946, and lives in a "Senior Living" apartment complex a few minutes from my home.

I wonder if she has any idea her name is being used in an obvious scheme, whereby Dems can disguise mega-dollar donations, while continuing to brag to the world, "Billions and Billions, all of it in SMALL DOLLAR DONATIONS ... we surely are The Party of The Little Guy!"

There are only 3 instances of "IMMASCHE" in the entire County DB. The other two, both born in 1982, appear to be her son and DIL, and live in a home that's also in SE Ft. Collins.

What actblue does is use legit names of people to cover up the foreign terrorist organizations who give them money along with usaid and others that’s why the commies got so upset with Elon for finding out their con job

[ConservativeMind]

It is Identity Theft and ActBlue and Democrats have been doing it.

Also of interest, in the American Spectator article that this article links to, is this snippet about Janet Yellen:

Before the recent election, the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability asked then-Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to turn over all Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) relating to ActBlue — not much happened. An SAR is a document that banks file with the Treasury Department pursuant to potentially fraudulent or illicit financial activity. Yellen stalled, presumably in the hope that the Democrats would win the House back in November and halt the investigation. That obviously didn’t happen and the new Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent, is of course cooperating with the committee.

ActBlue will not survive the light that the House committee and nineteen state attorneys general are determined to shine on it.

This may well be what precipitated the sudden departure of seven senior officials from ActBlue in February. The New York Times reports that the exodus included “the associate general counsel — who was the highest-ranking legal officer at ActBlue — the assistant research director, a human resources official, the chief revenue officer and an engineer who had spent 16 years building and maintaining the electronic pipes through which the group’s donations flow.”

Hi George - Colorado Ping Alert

[ProtectOurFreedom]

How does one find out if his or her name is being used by ActBlue?

[existentially_kuffer]

Mounting reasons to just hate democrats!

[CardCarryingMember.VastRightWC]

Try the FEC open records on who gave what to whom:
https://www.fec.gov/introduction-campaign-finance/how-to-research-public-records/individual-contributions/

Maybe also see the reference in the link in my posting at top: http://ElectionWatch.info --- and browse their "Smurfing By State".

“an alleged “smurfing” campaign by ActBlue,”

I suspect fraud. Aren’t Smurfs already blue? Why would they have to ActBlue?

[RandallFlagg]

The democrat party is a criminal organization, and my tagline below applies.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Good information. Thanks for posting.

[Gaffer]

This is where the USAID money went. Multiply her by thousands. It’s why Democrats are so ardently fighting to keep it.

[No name given]

And leftism in general.

Thanks. I just searched my name on the FEC Campaign Finance Data and the results are perhaps a bit disturbing.

I contributed to WinRed five times this last cycle. Those donations all show up with correct dates. BUT, donations under my name are also showing made to “Trump National Committee JFC, Inc” for the same amount I paid to WinRed and also to “Never Surrender” for about $10 less, but on roughly the same date.

So I contributed to ONE organization but contributions are showing to THREE organizations (one legit). All contributions ended 10/15/24. None of the donations to Never Surrender or Trump National Committee showed up on my credit card.

I wonder if WinRed collected the money, distributed it to Trump National Committee then re-distributed it to “Never Surrender”?

The FEC site says this about “Never Surrender”: Financial data for this committee contains funds raised and spent under the former name DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT 2024, INC. which, before it was converted, was a principal campaign committee. Before its conversion this committee was authorized by candidate TRUMP, DONALD J.

Wow, I looked at the Smurf data for California sorted by number of transactions ("TRX"). It is staggering:

The person at the top of the list made 10,330 transactions totaling $27,913 on 1,053 transaction days, one donation every 1.8 days with an average donation of $2.70.

Here is the timeline for donations by that person:

The obvious corruption here is staggering.

The Act Blue Execs had to have known what was going on. Aren’t they criminally liable?

How your tax dollars land in politicians’ campaign pockets via “ActBlue.”

Reference: FEC data gathered by truthteller @OKeefeMedia linked one Democrat donor’s name to an astonishing “830 donations” to “ActBlue.” The Democrat donor monitors her bank statements, so she knew what she had actually donated, and was outraged, seeing her name falsified by ActBlue on federal documents.

How ActBlue pulls off massive fraudulent Democrat donations:
<><>they collude w/ politicians to setup federal money laundries, for example,
<><>Biden Lends Billions in “Climate Funds” Before Election
<><>Biden DHS gives Millions of tax dollars to “Sanctuary Cities,”
<><>Haiti gets billions in USAID
<><>Biden hands billions of tax dollars to Zelensky
<><>Biden-Harris give well over $1 billion in federal benefits to Haitian migrants
<><>then collusion puts a percentage of the “do-good” federal money in offshore bank deposits
<><>crooked legerdemain manipulates the deposits into the ActBlue data base,
<><>they then falsify FEC documents
<><>Actblue lists the money as having been “donated” by eligible donors,
<><>ActBlue does this without the knowledge or consent of the listed donors.

Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)

[FrankRizzo890]

Donate $1 once, and now suddenly you’ve donated a half million over the span of 50,000 donations. I agree with you totally.
