Over the last three years, that larger network has pulled in tens of millions of dollars for the PACs in the name of charitable causes. But the groups plowed almost all of their millions into fundraising and marketing companies, including paying sham companies run by people in their own network. “Scam PACs” exploit an ill-defined space between fede...
That indictment alleged that “less than 1% of all donor money to the PACs was spent on political contributions.” The rest went to fundraising efforts and into the two men’s pockets, resultingin a $1.2 million fine. That appears similar and perhaps smaller in scale to United Heroes and the larger network that Bohms, Fisher and their associates are i...
Heroes United PAC spent a total of more than $462,000 on Tampa Media’s services between 2018 and February 2020, FEC recordsshow. During that same time frame, the PAC spent only $147,000 on legitimate political activity. That’s just one-third of what Bohms’ company made in that time, and a mere 0.1% of the group’s total fundraising. In fact, Tampa M...
Still, American Wounded Veterans PAC has about $2.3 million in 2020 fundraising to account for. Where did it come from? Almost all of the PAC’s receipts are “unitemized,” meaning the money came in the form of contributions of $200 or less, so the PAC does not have to disclose those donors. (A great many scam PAC donors are elderly peoplewho quite l...
Reached for comment, Bohms denied he had any direct connection to American Wounded Veterans PAC, though he did say that the group paid him to “do some work.” “I don’t care to take part in your article,” he said, then hung up. While Bohms appears to have made good money from American Wounded Veterans, the overwhelming majority of the PAC’s cash was ...
The company was created in Wyoming just last year, but FEC records show that in that time it has taken in massive revenues — some in lump sum payments up to $311,000 — but from only four PAC clients, with thematic names: Security in America PAC (which terminatedthis April after raising $3 million and spending $3,000), Law Enforcement for a Safer Am...
A reporter in Cheyenne sent Salonphotos taken of Wyoming Registered Agent’s address — a nondescript two-level brick building that hosts mailboxes for dozens of corporate entities from across the country, as well as a skeleton staff of administrative workers who populate the mostly empty suites. At the reporter’s request, a member of the building’s ...
FEC filings also undermine Bohms’ claim that he was not connected to American Wounded Veterans. The treasurer of Firefighters Support Association (which spent 6% of its $3.1 million revenue on political efforts) was also the original treasurerof American Wounded Veterans PAC: Mark Phillips. While it is not clear whether these any of these LLCs or P...
A review of the organization’s tax filings shows that in 2019 the VFA pocketed more than $5 million in contributions, and managed to spend almost that exact same amount — but not on charity work: Almost all of its income went to telemarketing and fundraising efforts. Bohms paid himself $93,864. In fact, VFA paid more than $2.2 million of its privat...
Salon called the VFA crisis hotline, and selected the “suicide prevention” option. The call was redirected and immediately dropped. Saloncalled back and selected the “substance abuse” option. That call was also redirected and dropped. No general operators were available to assist a third attempt. When Saloninformed Bohms about the hang-ups in a tex...
