Trump 'money bomb' scheme raised millions from unwitting donors – report

Practice that used pre-checked boxes and obscure design on fundraising emails condemned as ‘unethical and inappropriate’

It also detailed distressing experiences affecting Trump donors hit by surprise deductions and consequent trouble with banks and credit card companies.
Victor Amelino, a 78-year-old from California, donated $990 in September. It recurred seven times for a total of almost $8,000, the Times said.
Calling the Trump campaign and the RNC “bandits”, Amelino told the paper: “I’m retired. I can’t afford to pay all that damn money.”

Trump Donors Fume Over Fine Print Which Allowed Campaign to Charge Their Accounts Over and Over

Trump donors filed a “flood” of fraud claims after the campaign used fine print in disclaimers to make recurring charges to donors’ accounts.

A 63-year-old cancer patient in Kansas City named Stacy Blatt told the Times that he gave $500 to the campaign in September, despite living on less than $1,000 a month, and was completely blindsided by what followed.

“That single contribution — federal records show it was his first ever — quickly multiplied,” the report stated. “Another $500 was withdrawn the next day, then $500 the next week and every week through mid-October, without his knowledge — until Mr. Blatt’s bank account had been depleted and frozen.”

He was forced to seek help from his brother after his utility and rent checks bounced and he learned his account had been drained of $3,000 in under 30 days.

“It felt like it was a scam,” Russel told the Times, adding that the family reported the Trump campaign withdrawals to the bank because it thought Stacy had been the victim of fraud.

Another 78-year-old from California made what she thought was a one-time donation of $990 that wound up costing her more than $8,000.

The plan resulted in the Trump campaign refunding almost eleven percent of what it raised online in 2020, or more than $122 million, a figure that may increase as more claims roll in.
 
Just about everything you do on the internet these days requires you to un-click something. Silly people should not be newsworthy. This is only newsworthy because the MSM need Trump bashing material to feed their click addictions. 100s of millions of people in the US. The media can always find 2-3 people willing to support their twisted anti-whatever narrative.

The democrats and lots of other organizations such as charities do this recurring donation by default. Streaming services, internet hosting. There is so much you need to manually opt out of. That's how the internet makes $$$. I agree its unethical and they government should have laws in place to stop it.

Hilary did it - https://www.latimes.com/business/lazarus/la-fi-lazarus-hillary-donations-20161202-story.html The democratic donation machine has a how-to-guide on stopping it with their own donations, https://support.actblue.com/donors/...ecurring-what-happened-and-how-can-i-stop-it/ and the charity Save the children? Default is a monthly recurring donation: https://www.savethechildren.org.au/donate/make-a-donation
 
The legal processes investigating Trumps myriad dodgy financial dealings continues.

 
Anything to stop Trump. The left are scared and backed into a corner. It's now obvious and beyond any doubt that the 2020 election was fraudulent. Dr Frank has proven it.

It will all come out.

Why would you delete the database. Like l said before, whenever you do anything electronic, you leave a fingerprint.

What an absolute load of rubbish.:mad:. Trump was/is a criminal self serving sociopath who with any luck will be finally brought to justice over his various business and political actions.

Trump lost the US election because he didn't get enough votes to win. Full stop. The cries of fraud are complete and utter lies. The willingness of people to believe these lies underlines the danger Donald Trump poses to the US democratic system.

If he is so certain the election was a fraud and that electoral officers across multiple states have been involved in such behavior he needs to front up to the Courts and on oath produce the evidence that backs up these claims.

And if he can't produce the evidence he can go to jail for perjury and stay there until he totally recants his poisonous lies.
 

Firm behind Arizona audit says no data was destroyed, contradicting GOP allegations ​


A firm that is conducting a controversial election audit in Arizona confirmed Tuesday that no data has been destroyed, contradicting some Republicans’ claims that officials had deleted information regarding the vote tally in Maricopa County.

Ben Cotton, founder of CyFIR LLC, which is working on the audit, said he had retrieved all the data he needs from Arizona’s largest county, which President Biden won in November. The remark came a day after county officials said auditors could not find the information because they did not know where it was located.

“I have the information I need from the recovery efforts of the data,” Cotton told state senators at a livestreamed hearing.
The reversal marks a setback for former President Trump and his allies, who had seized on the claims of deleted data to suggest there were deeper issues in Arizona’s tally.

“The entire Database of Maricopa County in Arizona has been DELETED! This is illegal and the Arizona State Senate, who is leading the Forensic Audit, is up in arms,” Trump said in a statement Saturday. “The story is only getting bigger and at some point it will be impossible for the weak and/or corrupt media not to cover.”

Biden was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Arizona since 1996.
Cotton’s confirmation that he has all of the data he needs is the latest development in an audit that has split open the state GOP.
The audit is being controlled by Republicans in the state Senate, but some in the GOP have grumbled over the partisan direction in which they’ve taken the count.
Lawmakers in the state legislature have said the audit is needed to address unfounded claims of election irregularities, but local officials have said the count will cast doubts on election integrity moving forward.

“None of this is inspiring confidence. None of this will cause our citizens to trust elections. In fact, it is having the opposite result,” the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, which is made up of four Republicans and one Democrat, wrote to Arizona's Republican state Senate President Karen Fann Monday.

“It is time to end this,” the board wrote. “For the good of the Senate, for the good of the Country and for the good of the Democratic institutions that define us as Americans.”

Serial numbers missing between original, duplicate ballots in Arizona​

election audit: official​

​
The Arizona Senate's audit of Maricopa County's general election has hit a new snag: verifying whether some ballots may have been counted twice.​
​
The liaison between Senate Republicans who authorized the audit and county officials told a hearing Tuesday that serial numbers were missing on damaged ballots that were duplicated so they could be read by vote tabulation machines.​
​
Former Secretary of State Ken Bennett's team uncovered the error just a few days ago, he told Senate President Karen Fann and Judicial Committee Chair Warren Petersen. Each damaged ballot and its associated duplicate ballot are supposed to have the same serial number to ensure they are only counted once.​
​
But he has found many batches of damaged ballots without the serial numbers that are on the duplicates, violating state law. "We are struggling as to how we're going to be able to match up" those damaged and duplicated ballots, Bennett said. ​
​
Asked by Fann if Maricopa County could assist in that effort, Bennett said county officials have made clear to him several times they wouldn't work with any of the auditors the Senate Republicans hired. He will ask for their help directly, Bennett said.​
​
County supervisors portrayed the contractors, led by Cyber Ninjas, as incompetent and unqualified to run an election audit in their own hearing and press conference Monday.​

There was no election fraud, but inane posters keep the Trump legacy alive.
Really sad.
 
The audit itself is a complete fraud has been covered even the ABC's Planet America covered it pointing out what a pollical shonky it is.
 
Why do we keep going on about it? It is like talking about Rudd, Abbott, Gillard, Turnbull, times move on, they made their mark and now have gone.
If they come back no doubt it is worthy of ongoing debate, but for now they have gone and Biden, Morrison and to some degree Albo are worth debating.
Trump brought the China issue to a head, it obviously is still a mainline issue, so other than that the only other mainstream issue was border control and the wall.
How those two issues pan out, will be what reflects back on the Trump years, all the rest is media soap opera midday viewing chook fodder.
To just keep debating U.S midday chat show stuff is wasting energy and adding to global warming. :roflmao:
Just my opinion.

Can't agree there SP. The comparisons are not appropriate, the behaviours were never in the same universe, the ongoing issues are totally different.

Trump is still in virtual control of the Republican Party. His most overwhelming political action was undermining public belief in the integrity of the voting system, calling the elections results a fraud and inciting his followers to march into the Capitol and effectively press gang Congress into overturning the results. That is not small potatoes.:cautious:

And on top of this he has managed to convince the majority of the Republican Party to accept his lies that teh election was somehow rigged!

On a personal level Trumps financial dealings have been a cause of concern for decades. Most of the current investigations relate to business practices that were always illegal and for which he is now being bought to account. And frankly I'm not sure they have even begun to look at how he used his Presidency to enrich his family businesses. That is a whole new field of corruption.

So, yeah . This guy is in a league of his own. Letting him continue to have influence on the US political and business system is giving an open check to swindlers and criminals. ( To Which some may say "And the difference is ??)

Dr Frank now has each States algorithm that was used to manipulate the 2020 Election. All publically available data.

For example, the algorithm used in Ohio has a different key to Florida or Arizona.

The investigation of Trumps business activities continues. Turns out one of the first processes of Trump lining his pockets from office was diverting donations from his Inauguration fund which was supposed to be spent on the Inauguration to his own companies.

Has a few extra ramifications because the CFO for the Trump org has his prints all over the process.

Like l said before, the November 2020 Election was tampered with.

It is now so obvious and beyond any reasonable doubt. How counties can have more ballets received than population registered is an obvious red flag.

PCAP (Packet Capture). Can't be altered or faked. Recorded in real time as it happened.

ARIZONA


All Arizona Counties have R Values greater than 0.8 - statistically impossible

Every County that has so far been analysed, has an R Value greater than 0.8 - statistically impossible

Throughout the USA, 20 States have been analysed so far. More coming.

All data is from the US Census, and latest census data available

l'm sorry if you can't see that the 2020 Election wasn't tampered with. I really am. Keep watching CNN/MSNBC/ABC and don't take your glasses off.
