The sophistication I'm referring to is the dark money side of things ... all those bucks that show up with no direct personal accountability. Those reporting dates are common knowledge too, but they're not designed to allow folks to get around public reporting.

My point is a sophisticated process would have removed the names of FTX and individuals several organizational donations before it hit Vermont's market with, yes, perfect timing. Remember - FTX and associated people are being prosecuted for the WAY they gave, not for WHEN they gave, and that is the disclosure I'm referring to.

As far as money in politics goes? Back to the post's introductory point. This is a systemic problem that can be fixed.
