The half-million dollars marked the second time Greitens has received that amount from California venture capitalist Michael Goguen of Sequoia Capital. The other contribution was reported in October.
In the week following Christmas,including the Goguen contribution, the Greitens campaign received $750,505. Out of that total, $640,003 came from out of state sources.
During this past week, Greitens also received the following contributions:
-$5,001 Michael Burns, Malvern, Pennsylvania,
-$5,001 Mary Beth Reilly, Nixa

Why are the donations $5001 as opposed to $5000? Is there a better tax incentive for anything over $5000 maybe?
ReplyDeleteWhy in the world would so many people and companies OUTSIDE of Missouri donating to this guys fund??? Looks fishy to me!
ReplyDeleteMissouri state law says that contributions of more than $5,000 have to be reported within 48 hours. Otherwise, they do not have to be reported until the next quarterly filing. My guess is the $5,001 total is used to trigger the reporting requirement so Greitens (and other candidates who use that total) can show the number of large contributions they are receiving.
