Hillary Clinton seems to attract all the right money from all the wrong people. Right on the heels of Norman Hsu, the New York Post reports that another Ponzi-scheme operator has pumped almost $30,000 in contributions to her campaign (via Michelle Malkin):
A purported pyramid-scheme operator who was run out of Arkansas when Bill Clinton was governor has reinvented himself as the head of an upstate group accused of being a "cult" - and his devotees have pumped thousands into Hillary Rodham Clinton's presidential run. Executives and top associates of the Albany-based NXIVM group - along with their family members - donated $29,900 to Clinton's presidential campaign, according to federal records.
On March 14 and April 13, records show, more than a dozen contributions poured into Clinton's coffers from NXIVM, an executive and group-awareness training organization led by Brooklyn-born Keith Raniere, 47. ...
In his previous incarnation, the Svengali-like Raniere ran a $30 million multilevel marketing business that imploded after federal agencies and regulators in 23 states alleged it was an illegal pyramid scheme.
Among the donors were Seagrams heiresses Clare and Sara Bronfman, whose father called NXIVM a "cult". If so, their idol appears to be Hillary Clinton. She's certainly the beneficiary. It's the second Ponzi scheme operator shown to be handling the bundling for the Clinton campaign, further demonstrating their failure to vet their contributors or their complete disinterest in doing so.
While some media operators are inexplicably focusing on Hillary's annoying laugh, others have performed more meaningful journalism on Hillary's bid for the presidency and the shell-game con men funding it. A focus on meaningful information on the leading Democratic candidate for the nomination and the sources of her funding would be appreciated.
It’s just good business. Ask Marc Rich.
