Hackers steal 2.3 million from WI GOP Trump reelection fund. Have they ruled out Brad Parscale?

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/10/hackers-steal-2-3-million-from-wisconsin-gops-trump-reelection-fund/

On Thursday, the Associated Press reported that the Wisconsin Republican Party was targeted by hackers, who made off with $2.3 million from a campaign’s federal account which was being used to help President Donald Trump.

According to the report, “the hackers manipulated invoices from four vendors who were being paid to send out direct mail for Trump’s reelection efforts and to provide pro-Trump material such as hats that could be handed out to supporters. Invoices and other documents were altered so when the party paid them, the money went to the hackers instead of the vendors.”


Wasn't Brad Trump's digital guy in 2016? He should be prime suspect #1, imo.

His lawyer say, "We'll just say that a virus crept its way into your system."


Mary Fisher says to Bob Patchett in the elevator, "Viruses don't have Swiss bank accounts, Bob!"

I don't care -- do you? The money was going to reelect Trump. Now, it's going to hookers and blow. That's an improvement.

by some remarkable coincidence a deferred investment income deposit of $2.3 million on the same date with sketchy documentation, you know, like any other good organized crime b... I mean, respectable businessman, would do.
