Why are the donations $5001 as opposed to $5000? Is there a better tax incentive for anything over $5000 maybe?
Why in the world would so many people and companies OUTSIDE of Missouri donating to this guys fund??? Looks fishy to me!
Missouri 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.
