GOP Political Strategist Claims His Identity Is Being Used For FAKE DONATIONS To Harris-Walz Campaign

(Natural News) A Republican political strategist claims he is a victim of identity theft, with his personal details being used for fake donations to the Harris-Walz campaign. Mark Block put forward the accusation in a lawsuit against the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue.

Block, 70, served as chief of staff to the late Herman Cain, a GOP presidential candidate in 2012. The strategist from Wisconsin was featured in the popular “smoking man” advertisement of Cain’s campaign at the time.

In his lawsuit filed in Waukesha County Court, Block claimed that a “John Doe” used his identity to make over $880 in donations between May and October without his approval. The strategist reportedly discovered at least 385 ActBlue donation receipts in his old Cain campaign email account, including 35 earmarked to Vice President Kamala Harris and one to an LGBTQ campaign. The culprit allegedly used an American Express card linked to a Santa Monica, California address to make the donations, as per the National Pulse.

Some of the receipts showed donations to the Harris Victory Fund, while one receipt showed a $7.50 donation made in June to the Equality PAC – the political arm of the liberal-leaning Congressional LGBTQ Equality Caucus. Some 234 donations to various left-wing causes were set up to repeat weekly, 86 were one-time donations and 65 were monthly recurrences. The average donation was just $3.24.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Yes

According to the New York Post, the individual donations were all under $200, which means they didn’t have to be reported to the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Block described the scheme as “smurfing,” a form of money laundering that involves breaking up large-scale campaign donations into smaller amounts. The scheme allows campaign contribution limits to be bypassed and disguises the real identity of donors.

Block’s lawsuit against smurfing the first of many

The strategist alleged that the ActBlue donations qualify as “racketeering activity “under Wisconsin law. He also noted that the smurfing scheme that used his identity was designed to circumvent federal election law and may be part of a larger scam involving tens of thousands of unwitting donors. Block’s lawsuit requested the court to issue a temporary injunction prohibiting any more donations in his name.

Block’s lawsuit stated that he did not “make, authorize or consent to these donations. Given [his] conservative political leanings, he would never consent to monetary contributions to any of the ActBue campaigns.” (Related: FUNDING FRAUD: Phoenix woman tells James O’Keefe that ActBlue made 20 separate unauthorized donations in her name to Kamala Harris.)

“While fraudulent donations of such small amounts may seem inefficacious, this pattern is able to exploit a loophole for federal reporting requirements. The ActBlue donations appear to be part of a larger pattern of suspicious activity.”

The lawsuit filed by the GOP political strategist is expected to be the first of many, as similar investigations have been launched in other states. Even the GOP-led House Committee on House Administration (CHA) has already launched a broader investigation into money laundering through ActBlue donations.

Experts at the CHA used AI to scrutinize more than 200 million FEC records spanning the last 14 years. They managed to identify suspicious patterns such as “hundreds of $2.50 donations from the same individual, donations in amounts far greater than the donor could afford and unusually frequent donations from elderly people or first-time contributors.”

Given these findings, CHA Chairman U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil (R-WI) referred in September his findings of “potential criminal” activity to five GOP attorneys general (AGs) – Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, Texas and Virginia – for further investigation.
