Argentine campaign finance scandal: Macri ally blows whistle on massive laundering during 2015 race

2. All this, of course, begs the question: where'd the $10 million really come from?

Your guess is as good as mine; but among the likely suspects are:

·Public contractors, who by law are not allowed to contribute to political campaigns (though Macri has already been found to have received at least $200,000 from them).

·Other Macri associates such as Marcelo Mindlin, his best friend Nicolás Caputo, and U.K. expat Joe Lewis - all of whom have benefited as large shareholders in electric utilities (the 1500% hikes).

·Interested foreign parties such as Álvaro Uribe and his narco-associates - who wanted (and got) blanket deregulation from Macri on the movement of capital, to the point that investors are no longer even required to give their real names.

·And of course foreign intelligence agencies such as the CIA, MI6, and Mossad - all of which wanted Macri in power for their own reasons (especially the latter).

Whatever the case may be, or all of the above, I hope the next administration can uncover what really happened here - and a lot else besides.

Thanks as always for your insight and research, Judi.

Great photo of the office building as well. Coincidentally (or not), that's where the right-wing daily La Nación moved their offices in 2013.

La Nación later broke, more or less, with Macri after they learned he had been spying on them. I guess we now know how they did it.
