More on Juan McCain and his top fundraiser. Convicted felon Scott Rothstein raised about $1.2 billion, and most of it went to McCain. Here is a Huffington Post article from yesterday:

Huffington Post

Notice, Charlie Crist and Bobby Jindal returned their Rothstein money, but not McCain:

Rothstein had close relationships with politicians in Florida and elsewhere, who quickly moved to distance themselves from him as his scheme came tumbling down late last year. The Florida Democratic and Republican parties returned contributions connected to Rothstein, along with Forida Gov. Charlie Crist and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, both Republicans.

And here is table showing that Rothstein's dirty money overwhelmingly went to McCain.

Distribution of Rothstein's Dirty Money

And we have this explanation from the Huffpo article:

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said the $9,200 under McCain's control was given to four Arizona charities in November. The rest of the money was out of the campaign's control and was distributed to state GOP committees for the 2008 race, he said.

So, the money was distributed to state GOP committees. I wonder if Juan gained any IOUs as that money was distributed, and if he is now collecting any of those IOUs.

Correction to #9: Rothstein raised around $1.1 million for McCain, and by far the largest of his political contributions went to McCain.
