80-Year-Old Man Raises $250K For Bernie And Beto. Buys Mercedes Instead, Feds Say

Authorities arrested a California man Tuesday for allegedly setting up phony PACs and websites to raise money for Democrats.

Prosecutors charged John Pierre Dupont, 80, with wire fraud and identity theft, NBC News reported. He allegedly used $250,000 raised to pay personal expenses, including the purchase of a Mercedes-Benz.

Federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York allege Dupont established three fraudulent political action committees and at least a dozen websites to raise money for various campaigns, including for Democratic 2020 contenders Bernie Sanders and Beto O’Rourke. Dupont also set up a website claiming to raise money “to unite immigrant families,” a complaint alleges.

Just think:
You're 80, and you've just raised money for 2 socialist.
You figure "What the Hell, if one of these fools wins and I'm still alive, they're coming for the car, anyway".

Why not?
