Mysterious company dissolves after giving $1 million to pro-Romney PAC

Did someone create a company for the sole purpose of giving to a political action committee trying to boost Mitt Romney's 2012 presidential campaign?

That's what it looks like. As The Ticket reported earlier this week, three firms gave $1 million apiece to Restore Our Future, a conservative "super PAC" planning to spend millions to help Romney's White House bid.

One of those companies was W. Spann LLC, a mysterious New York-based company that apparently closed up shop last month shortly after its contribution to the pro-Romney PAC. As NBC News's Michael Isikoff reports, the company was formed in March by Boston estate tax lawyer Cameron Casey and listed a midtown Manhattan address where the landlord says there's no record of the firm being a tenant.

Conservative PAC supporting Romney??????

[SatinDoll]

I doubt it was a Conservative PAC. More like it was Soros.

[hosepipe]

Romney is the NEW John McLaim.. who is the democrats main “snitch”..

[annieokie]

Maybe he will be “OUTED” really soon with this.

"As NBC News's Michael Isikoff reports..."

NBC doing its part as usual. Sorry after the MASSIVE campaign finance fraud that Obama was allowed to get away with, no one cares and the media have no credibility to report on it, least of all NBC. NBC, F-off.

Hmmm? Somebody got some ‘splainin’ to do.

From a Washington Times Story 7/31/11:

"the final million-dollar donation was reported simply as coming from “W Spann LLC” of 590 Madison Ave. in New York, with no suite number or other identifying information. That building has housed offices for Paulson, lobbyists Akin Gump and Bain Capital, the hedge fund Mr. Romney once led."

Coincidence?????

[P-Marlowe]

I just checked the Secretary of State Business search for New York. There is no such company listed as W. Spann LLC. If this “company” existed, it was not a legal entity. Therefore any contributions it made to Romney would be illegal.

The Romney camp will assign somebody within their ranks to take the fall for this.

Why is it that Obama’s campaign is not given such scrutiny?

[Psalm 144]

“There’s no indication in the records of what the company did or who its owners or principals were.”

NO records? NONE? Oooh, someone is gonna go to jailllllll!

[Psalm 144]

The Romney camp will assign somebody within their ranks to take the fall for this.

*******************

Yep. And the dupe will be convinced it is God’s work to lie about his guilt to protect the principal conspirators and frauds.

I don’t think the article states it is a NY company. Try Nevada or Delaware.

But W. Spann isn't the only mystery about big contributions to Restore Our Future. As The Ticket previously reported, two other $1 million donations came from two equally mysterious companies: Eli Publishing and F8 LLC. The two entities list the same Provo, Utah, address, according to FEC records, but there's no indication of what the companies do.

Still, there are hints at who the companies are affiliate with. Steven Lund, head of the anti-aging company Nu Skin, is listed as the registered agent for Eli Publishing, according to Utah corporate records. Lund has been a major financial supporter of Romney's previous campaigns.

Restore Our Future did not respond to request for comment from The Ticket, but Charles Spies, a former Romney aide who is one of the PAC's founders, told Isikoff the committee has no information on W. Spann LLC or any of its corporate donors--insisting they aren't required to ask for information beyond basic FEC disclosure requirements.

How shocking! Not.

[USMCPOP]

Various sources say Delaware.

I agree totally americanophile Zero had millions in questionable donations and nothing was reported. This one has an “R” on his jersey so that’s different. We have no one to blame except McLame for this one. Remember after he didn’t get the “R” nomination in 2000 he and his closest “D” jersey met at his place and formulated the new and improved Campaign Finance reform. Boy that sure cured things didn’t it! We need term limits so that they’re gone in two terms and they can’t amass power and drink the koolaid. Ok my blood pressure is going through the roof, I’m gonna quit now........

Why is the liberal press trying to take out the only serious GOP candidate Obama could actually beat?
