The money fueling Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign for president comes in both trickles and torrents. And the sources of much of it are murky.
A hedge fund billionaire is reported to have poured $30 million into the cause isn’t talking. So it’s unclear why he picked Cruz and how much he’s willing to spend to keep the Texas Republican’s hopes alive as the race plays out.
Nor will Cruz identify supporters who’ve agreed to raise up to $500,000 from their networks of friends and associates — bundlers who’ll be rewarded with special access to the candidate in coming months.
“Some people love to see their names in the papers. Others are kind of shy,” said campaign spokesman Rick Tyler.
Cruz’s burst of early fund- raising shattered records and topped expectations for a love-him-or-hate-him tea partier who burst onto the national scene less than three years ago. And it reflects a swift and dramatic transformation in the way campaigns have been financed since 2010, when the Supreme Court opened the door to unlimited anonymous donations....

I gave my small chunk and will give more to Cruz too.
Does he have phone banks in Palestinian cities like Obama did? Or Chinese communist money like the Clintons and Gore?
some articles i cant read. I have Barrett’s and i am not going to get stomach cancer because of liberal newspapers that print garbage all the time.
the book about hitlery is coming out and everyone is reporting horrifying atrocities she committed, and they are talking about Cruz’ money?
I hope the writers don’t walk into a dark alley with lots of the Kenyans sons in it. That would be too bad
Done my do.
More to come when he lasts longer than that _____ _____ Fred Thompson did.
The left always accuses the right of what they are guilty of and this shows they fear Cruz.
What about all the money odumbass got they he refuses to acknowledge where it came from.
This guy can go stuff it as far as I am concerned. Just another dem party lackey reporter.
I’m sure Mr. Panteen has done an expose on the $$ train to Zero and Hillary from “murky” sources, whut ?
Todd J. Gillman wrote this. Mr. Panton is Senator Cruz’s best friend from college and debate partner and a big supporter. Sorry for the mix-up.
OK, thanks for clearing that up. So my criticism is directed to Gillman.
Articles such as this are the reason we no longer read the DMN. There’s not been one under our roof for 20 years or more. Time was when it was read...for the TV Guide (TeeVee is no longer necessary) and the comics (which are found to no longer be funny). Is it missed? NO!
Ted Cruz Ping! We’ll just pretend that the millions of dollars the Clinton Foundation from foreigners when Hillary was SoS weren’t really bribes.
Hillary ROdham Clinton IS.. s MRS MURKY MONEY!!
Or that they see him as the likely nominee. Need to poison the well before the person actually gets nominated to make sure that Hillary is the saint and Cruz is the antichrist.
