I have my suspicions about the sources, anyone else?

It's trivial to move money around and I'm sure this was routed and rerouted many times before it got to the intended recipients. In other words, hard to say..
-
@forsweden Hmm that wasn't on my list, but there's a greater than zero chance I suppose.

@midengine That's the fun of semi-anonymous networks, doing the extra work to trace it back. I know there has been at least one high profile French money laundering case involving a Russian national and bitcoin. One can be pretty sure it wasn't the NAACP or Girl Scouts, etc. funding the alt "right".

@fintail it's reported by some French newspapers but they all note that their infos are based on the Chainalysis blog.
For example : https://www.lefigaro.fr/international/attaque-du-capitole-un-francais-a-l-origine-d-un-virement-suspect-20210115
Anyway...

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas MAGA is some kind of money laundering front as well, no doubt.

@fintail I had heard of them before, but this week I finally listened to knoledge fight. a show that reviews and mocks alex jones. And they 've noted how alex realizes "oh shit I have to turn this down or my con is gone"

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas Meanwhile millions of voters hang off of his every word. MAGA!
I am just hoping this refusal to concede is just a ploy to get more money from the red hat rubes.
