Izibophelelo zikaMarco Rubio kwiiShishini eziSketchy, ukuSebenza kweziyobisi kunye nePonzi Schemes

I-GOP ibikwibhendi ephambeneyo ngaphezulu kwesiqingatha senkulungwane, kodwa namagosa amaninzi eqela angabona ukuba uDonald Trump kunye noTed Cruz abanamakhonkco kubantu baseMelika. Yiyo loo nto, uMarco Rubio - ongenangqondo kodwa onokuthi abonakale kumabonakude ngaphandle kokoyikisa uninzi lwabantu - atyhalelwa phambili e-Iowa ngabadlalayo be-GOP njengomzamo wokugqibela wokugcina ipati kwityala.

Kwaye kuyasebenza. Umnumzana Rubio ugqibe indawo yesithathu e-Iowa ngeepesenti ezingama-23 zevoti, yiyo loo nto ebangela ukuba ukuthululwa kwenkxaso evela eWall Street . Wayekulungele ukusuka eNew Hampshire, kodwa kubaphathi bakhe aboyikekayo waphindaphinda imigca yakhe kwingxoxo-mpikiswano njengenkwenkwana eyothukileyo yaseBar Mitzvah eyayiqhuba phambi kwesipili ngaphambi kokuba inyathele kwizitepsi, kwaye yaphangwa ngenceba ngumgqatswa welo xesha. UChris Christie, othe, Kukho wonke umntu. Intetho ebethelelwe entlokweni engama-25.

Kodwa uMnu Rubio wenyuka eSouth Carolina kwaye wangena kwindawo yesibini e-Nevada, kwaye okwangoku uligqibelo lokugqibela labagqatswa baseManchurian abanokusetyenziswa sisiseko seGOP kwimizamo yabo yokuphazamisa iTrump. iingxaki.

UMnu Rubio unexesha elide irekhodi lokuqhubekayo ye urhwaphilizo ukuba iintshaba zakhe zezopolitiko ziya kuba nexesha elilula lokuxhaphaza. Eyona ngxaki, i-FBI ineminyaka iphanda uDavid Rivera, omnye wabahlobo abakhulu bakaMnu Rubio kunye namahlakani ezopolitiko exesha elide, kwaye lelinye lawona malungu enkongolo kwimbali yaseFlorida enemibala.

Ukutya kude kube ngo-2017 ukuzisa izityholo ngokuchasene noMnu Rivera, ngokwe le UMiami Herald ibali , kwaye wanikwa obo bungqina ngokuchasene naye busasazekile malunga neebhokisi ze-pizza emva kwe-frat house kegger kunzima ukucinga ukuba yintoni ethatha ixesha elide. Njengengxenye yophando lwayo i-FBI ivavanye ubudlelwane buka Mnu.Rivera noMnu Rubio kunye nokuzibandakanya kwabo kwizivumelwano ezahlukeneyo, imithombo emibini indixelele.

Umthombo wesithathu, onolwazi oluchanekileyo ngale meko, wandixelela ukuba i-FBI yenqabile ukusika isivumelwano nosomashishini ojamelene nesimangalo owanikezela kubaphenyi bobumbano noburhulumente ubungqina bokuba uMnu. Rivera uthathe isinyobo se- $ 100,000 kwisigqeba sokungcakaza KwiNgingqi yaseBroward .

Ukunyotywa kweza ngendlela yegalelo lama- $ 100,000. Umnumzana Rivera uvumile ukuyithatha imali ngexesha lentlanganiso eyimfihlo kunye nesigqeba, wayiqhuba ngombutho wezopolitiko awayebanga ukuba umama wakhe uqhuba, kwaye wasebenzisa imali ukuhlawula iindleko zakhe,utshiloumthombo, oligqwetha elidityaniswe kakuhle eFlorida.

Umnumzana Rivera kunye noMnu Rubio - abathi elowo wafumana igalelo elikhulu lezomthetho kwishishini lokungcakaza- emva koko bavota ngokuchasene nokuvumela isizwe samaSeminole ukuba sandise imisebenzi yokungcakaza eFlorida , kanye njengokuba isityholo esibonelela ngesipho sokunyoba sifunwa.

Ewe kunjalo, i-FBI liziko elinepolitiki kakhulu elixhomekeke kulwamkelo lwenkongolo kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali kwaye ngokwembali lilandele abo banegalelo kwezopolitiko kunye nabapolitiki abancinci ngelixa beyityeshela inkohlakalo engagungqiyo ngamagosa anyuliweyo. Inkqubo ye- Herald Ibali, elalibaleka ngasekupheleni kuka-2015, lalicinga ukuba ukuba owayengummeli welizwe laseFlorida kunye ne-US congressman, umhlobo osenyongweni kaMnu. Rivera, uMnu. Rubio babeza kuba ngundaba-mlonyeni, abatshutshisi banokufuna ukucima ityala lezopolitiko, ukunqanda ukubonakala kokungenelela kunyulo.

Umnumzana Rubio kunye noMnumzana Rivera badibana ngonyaka ka 1992 xa babesebenzela uGOP Congressman u-Lincoln Diaz-Ballart, njengoko ndandiphawulile kwi Braganca kwinyanga ephelileyo. Umnumzana Rivera wacebisa umnu Rubio ngexesha lephulo lakhe lokuqala kwiNdlu kaRhulumente e-2000 kwaye uMnu Rubio wanceda uMnu. Rivera ukuba aphumelele isihlalo seNdlu ngo-2002. Ngo-2005, uMnu. Rivera wasondeza iivoti uMnu. Indlu yaseFlorida.

Kude kube ngunyaka ophelileyo uMnu Rubio kunye noMnu Rivera babebambisene nendlu eTallahassee, ikomkhulu laseFlorida. U-Lobbyist uDana Hudson uthumele ifoto kunye no-David Rivera (ngasekhohlo ngasekhohlo), u-pollster u-Dario Moreno kunye no-Rafael Ralph Perez kwi-Iowa Hooter ngelixa iqela likhankasela umhlobo kaMnu. Rivera, umgqatswa wobongameli u-Marco Rubio. UNks Hudson usembindini ngasekhohlo.(Facebook)

Babebatyebile njengamasela, owayesakuba ligosa eliphezulu eFlorida GOP owaziyo omabini la madoda endixelele.

Kwiminyaka yakutshanje uMnu Rubio ebeneentloni ngokunxulumana esidlangalaleni noMnumzana Rivera - ngakumbi emva kokuhluka urhulumente kunye arhente zokunyanzeliswa komthetho waqala ukuphanda umhlobo wakhe ngaphezulu izityholo zorhwaphilizo . Ezo zityholo mhlawumbi ziyanceda ukucacisa ukuba kutheni uMnu.Rivera ephulukene nesihlalo sakhe kwi-Congress yase-US e-2012 emva koko wahlaziswa kwi-2014 xa wayezama ukuyifumana kwakhona, ephumelela kuphela iivoti ezingama-2,209 (iipesenti ezisi-8).

Kodwa uMnu.Rivera wabonwa eIowa ngexesha leekhokhasi kunye ne-Washington lobbyist, uDana Hudson, ngubani omnye wabaxhasi bakaMnu Rubio abanomdla kakhulu. UMnu Rivera no-Hudson bacela ifoto kwiiHooter, iTampa Bay Times ixelwe.

Esinye sezikimu i-FBI ejonge kuso ibandakanya uMnu.Rivera ngokufihlakeleyo efumana malunga ne- $ 1 yezigidi phakathi ku-2000s kusapho lakwaHavenick, esele ikhulile eFlorida eyaziwayo ngokukhohlakala kwimboni yokubheja inja, iingcambu zayo zibuyela eMeyer Lanksy, Al ICFO kaCapone. Umnumzana Rivera wahlawulwa - ngequmrhu elisikiweyo elibizwa ngokuba yiMillennium Marketing; igama lakhe alibonanga naphina kwikhontrakthi- ukukhuthaza ngempumelelo ireferendamu yokuvota enike usapho lakwaHavenick amalungelo awodwa okubonelela ngoomatshini ekufakwa kwiindawo zokubaleka zasekuhlaleni.

Xa iSebe lezoNyanzeliso-mthetho laseFlorida (FDLE) liphanda eli tyala ngo-2011, uAlex Havenick, usolusapho, wachaza uMnu. Rivera njengegcisa eliyintloko lephulo le-slots referendum kwaye wathi usapho lwakhe luyabulela ngeziphumo ezingakholelekiyo azifumeneyo. Umnumzana Rivera wakhanyela nakuphi na ukungalunganga kwaye i-FDLE ayizange imtyhole, mhlawumbi ngenxa yokuba ityala lachithwa ngokwepolitiki .

Umnumzana Rivera kunye noMnu Rubio kamva bavota ngokuchasene nomthetho-owawuchaswa yiHavenick- oko Ngebevumele bonke oomdyarho weembaleki ukuba banikeze abathengi babo kwiindawo zokubeka kwaye ngaloo ndlela buphelise ulawulo losapho.

Emuva ngo-2007, uMnu.Rivera waququzelela abaxhasi bee-Havana Nights abaqokelele imali eyi-1.4 yezigidi kwi-GOP yelizwe. Iminyhadala ibonakalise ukuhamba ngenqanawa kwezikhephe, izifundo ze-salsa, isidlo sangokuhlwa kwindlu yangaphambili yeVersace kunye neeconcierges zobuqu ezikhoyo 24/7, iMiami Herald yabika ngelo xesha . Iminikelo yesisa iza ngexesha apho umzi-mveliso wezinja, umkhondo wehashe kunye nejai-alai frontons-uphulukana nokuzimasa kunye nenzuzo, ngelixa iiparimutuels eTampa naseBroward County kungekudala zinokujongana nokhuphiswano olonyukayo kwiikhasino zaseIndiya.

Emva komsitho emva koko-uSomlomo weNdlu uMnu.Rubio uphume ngamandla ngokuchasene nokungcakaza okuxoxisanayo yiRhuluneli uCharlie Crist kunye neSeminoles, eya kuthi ivumele isizwe ukuba sinikeze indawo yeLas Vegas kunye nemidlalo yetafile, ngokuka kwi Herald .

Ingxoxo kaRubio -ukuba isizwe asinalungelo lanto ingaphaya koomatshini bokubeka izinto esweni - ihambelana nezo zenziwe ziiparimutuel, ngakumbi ezo ziseBroward, ezithi ukunika imidlalo yeetafile kwiSeminole kubanika ithuba elingafanelekanga, Herald ixelwe. Iphephandaba lathi uMnu Rivera wakuphika kabukhali ukuba inkcaso kaMnu Rubio kwisivumelwano seSeminole yayinxulumene neminikelo emikhulu eyayifunyenwe yiGOP kumzi-mveliso wongcakazo. Nokuba [iiparimutuel] ziyawuxhasa lo msitho awunanto yakwenza neNdlu enokuchasana ne-compact, utshilo. Akukho kulungelelaniswa okunguziro. ’’ I-Seminole Casino Coconut Creek, indawo enkulu yokungcakaza eFlorida.(Ifoto uJoe Raedle / imifanekiso ka-Getty)

Isityholo sokunyoba esanikwa uMnu. Rivera endisichazile ngasentla, ebesingabikwa ngaphambili, sivela kwisigqeba sokungcakaza saseBroward County, ndixelele umthombo wam.

Umnumzana Rivera kunye noMnu Rubio babekwabandakanyeka kwenye into ethandabuzekayo embindini wee-2000s ezothusayo ngokungakhathali nokuba yimigangatho yokuziphatha gwenxa eFlorida neyathi yatyhilwa ngokuyinxenye kwiminyaka emininzi liqela elidibeneyo le-FBI / DEA. Elinye lamanani aphambili kobu buqhetseba yayingu-Alan Mendelsohn, i-GOP lobbyist kunye ne-fundraiser eyanyusa malunga ne-2 yezigidi zeerandi ukuba ithumele uninzi lwezopolitiko eFlorida okanye isetyenziselwe inzuzo yakhe, ngokwesimangalo sakhe esilandelayo. Kule mali malunga nezigidi eziyi-1.5 zeedola zivela kusomashishini ojijekileyo ogama linguJoel Steinger.

USteinger wayengumseki kunye ne-CEO yenkampani yabucala ebizwa ngokuba yiMutual Benefits Corp., ekuthi ngayo wakhupha i-Ponzi scheme eyi- $ 1.2 yezigidigidi eyayijolise kubantu abadala base-South Florida abathathe umhlala-phantsi kunye namalungu oluntu lukarhulumente. Mutual Benefits Corp. yanceda neqela laseMelika laseMelika ukusebenzisa iziyobisi, ubungqina obuqulunqwe ligosa leqela le-FBI / DEA libonakalisile .

U-Mendelsohn uthumele imali koosopolitiki ngamaqela ahlukeneyo ezopolitiko, kubandakanya nekomiti yezopolitiko ayisekayo ebizwa ngokuba yi-Ophthalmology PAC. USteinger wamnika imali ngethemba lokuphumelela inkxaso yezopolitiko kwityala eliza kukhulula iMutual Benefits Corp. kummiselo welizwe. UMendelsohn ukwafumene imali yokugqithisela abapolitiki kwabanye abadlali abathandabuzekayo, kubandakanya inkampani ecebisa ngetyala kunye neenkampani zongcakazo.

Ngo-Epreli ka-2004, bobabini uMnu Rubio kunye noMnu Rivera bavotela umthetho owawukhulula uSteinger's Mutual Benefits Corp. kummiselo. Ngo-Meyi ka-2004, i-SEC yayalela ukucinywa okungxamisekileyo kwenkampani kaSteinger.

Umnumzana Rubio kunye noMnumzana Rivera umntu ngamnye ufumene i-50, 000 yeedola, ebabeka ngokulula phakathi kwabona bantu bafumana eyona mali iphambili ye-Ophthalmology PAC. Umnumzana Rubio ufumene intlawulo yakhe kuMendelsohn ngoDisemba ka-2003 ngePAC ayimiselayo ebizwa ngokuba ziiFloridians kubuNkokheli obuGcinayo.

I-Ophthalmology PAC yayikho ngowona mnikeli mkhulu kwiiFloridians zoBunkokeli obuLondolozayo. UMnu Rubio usebenzise le yokugqibela ukuhlawulela, phakathi kwezinye izinto, iinkonzo zekhuriya ezenziwa ngumfazi wakhe, udadewabo nabatshana; ukuhlawula iindleko zokutya nezokulala ekuthiwa zazinxulumene nephulo; kunye nokuhlawula umhlobo osenyongweni kunye nomamkeli wamapolisa owamqokelelela imali kwinto echazwe njengomsebenzi wokubonisana nezopolitiko.

Nge-Epreli ka-2004, bobabini uMnu Rubio kunye noMnu Rivera bavotela umthetho-owathi uMendelsohn walwela ngenkani-oko kwakukhulula uSteinger's Mutual Benefits Corp. kummiselo. Ngo-Meyi ka-2004, i-SEC yayalela ukucinywa okungxamisekileyo kwenkampani kaSteinger.

Ekupheleni kuka-2009, uMendelsohn wayengomnye wabaxhasi be-Mr. Rubio abahamba phambili kwaye ngaloo nyaka wabamba umcimbi ekhaya lakhe ukukhaba uMnu Rubio ukuba asebenze kwisihlalo se-Senate sase-US. Ngelo xesha uMeyi Broward Palm Beach Amaxesha amatsha uxele ukuba uMendelsohn urhoxile kwisikhundla sakhe njengonondyebo kwenye i-PAC awayeyenzile phakathi kokuqikelela okuthe gabalala malunga nobungakanani beetayitile zakhe kuSteinger. Umnumzana Rubio akabonakali exhalabile nakuphi na ukuwa kwezopolitiko ezinokuza njengoko ezinye iinkcukacha zivela malunga noMnu Mendelsohn kwityala likaSteinger, iphephandaba laxela . Nokuba nguRubio uyayazi into abanye bethu abangayenziyo okanye akanangxaki nokubeka igama lakhe esichengeni ngentlama enkulu. UGqirha Alan Mendelsohn.(Ubume beWebhusayithi yeWebhusayithi)

Ngo-2011 uMendelsohn wagwetywa iminyaka emithathu entolongweni ngokusebenzisa unxibelelwano kwezopolitiko ukunceda abathengi ekufumaneni nasekoyiseni umthetho, ngokwesimangalo sakhe. Ngexesha lokugwetywa kwakhe, iJaji uWilliam Zloch, wathi ukungaziphathi kakuhle kwe-lobbyist kwakufana nomhlaza onemiqobo ethintela urhulumente olungileyo kwilizwe lonke, ngokweTampa Bay Times . (Igqwetha likaMendelsohn, u-Alvin Entin, walile ukuphawula.)

Ngo-2014, uSteinger wagwetywa iminyaka engamashumi amabini entolongweni. Mnu.Steinger, ndingakugweba ngokulula iminyaka engama-50 njengesigwebo esisemthethweni kwaye ungaze uphulukane nokulala umzuzwana, umgwebi uRobert Scola yatsho ngeloxesha . (USteve Haguel, igqwetha likaSteinger, walile ukuphawula ngaphandle kokuthi ubhenile kwisigwebo.)

Kunyaka ophelile Abemi boxanduva kunye nokuziphatha eWashington (CREW) wafaka ifayile ye- isikhalazo nge-IRS ngokuchasene neProjekthi yeZisombululo zeConservative, umbutho wezopolitiko uchitha izigidi zeedola kwintengiso ze-pro-Rubio ngelixa uzenza njengentlalontle engenzi nzuzo. Ikwafake isimangalo solwaphulo-mthetho nxamnye nosihlalo wezemali kaMnu Rubio, uWayne Berman, emtyhola ngokuxoka kubaphenyi kwaye ngokucacileyo ethatha ngaphezulu kwesigidi seedola kwinto engenzi nzuzo. Kwaye ngo-2012, uCREW ogama linguDavid Rivera njengelinye lawona malungu aphambili kwiCongress.

USenator Rubio kunye nesangqa sakhe ayingobantu abangaqhelekanga kwimicimbi yokuziphatha, isithethi seqela, u-Jordan Libowitz, wandixelela.

Ngama-1980, uJoel Steinger kunye nezihlobo ezininzi babaleka iqela leTara Securities Group, igumbi le-boiler elalikhupha umkhombe kubatyali zimali abangenalwazi. (Ifilimu kaMartin Scorcese Ingcuka yesitalato iWall ulibamba ngokugqibeleleyo igumbi le-boiler, igama elisetyenziselwa ukuchaza ubuqhetseba apho i-scammer irenta iofisi ebonakala inomtsalane, ibeka imigca kubasebenzi kubandayo abanokubiza abatyali-mali, kwaye ibenze babeke ukonga kwabo kwizikim zemali bethembisa imbuyekezo enkulu engazange yenzeke. IKhomishini yoKhuseleko kunye noTshintshiselwano ivale iqela laseTara loKhuseleko, yamnqanda uSteinger kurhwebo lwezorhwebo kwaye, wambetha ngesohlwayo semali esimalunga ne-30, 000 yeedola.

USteinger wayenexesha elidlulileyo ngaphambili nangaphambi koKhuseleko lweTara. Emuva ngo-1979, iKhomishini yezoRhwebo yoRhwebo lwaKamva yamthintela ekubeni asebenze njengengcali yorhwebo ngendima yakhe kwindima yakhe komnye umkhonyovu obandakanya inkampani ebizwa ngokuba yiCrown Colony Commodity Options Ltd. ngokwesimangalo sakhe kunye neendaba ezininzi iiakhawunti . Umsebenzi oqaqambileyo kaSteinger, ukugwetywa kunye nokunxibelelana nehlokondiba, kunokujongwa kwakhona kweli nqaku.

Kodwa uSteinger kusafuneka enze imali ukuze i Ngo-1994 waqala entsha ngasese inkampani, Mutual Benefits Corp., eyayikwishishini leViaticals. Elo ligama- elivela kwigama lesiLatini elithetha izibonelelo zohambo olude - lokuziqhelanisa nokuthenga imigaqo-nkqubo yeinshurensi yobomi ngexabiso elithotyiweyo kubantu abasele beza kufa.

USteiner wakhawuleza waqonda ukuba indawo entle yokufumana abantu abafayo abaza kuthengisa i-inshurensi yobomi babo ngexabiso eliphantsi yayiluluntu olunesifo se-gay oluhlaselwe nguGawulayo eSouth Florida. Ke ke wanxibelelana nezinye iiklinikhi kunye noogqirha wazisebenzisa ukubeka abaguli abaphila nesifo esinganyangekiyo abanesifo semali kwaye bazokuthengisa iipolisi zeinshurensi yobomi ngeepeni kwidola.

Abatyali mali kwi Mutual Benefits Corp. baqala ukuba nomsindo xa abantu abathengisa ifem yabo iinshurensi zobomi zange bafe kuba oko kwakuthetha ukuba abafumani mbuyekezo inkulu uSteinger wabathembisa.

Ukufumana inzuzo ngakumbi nangakumbi uSteinger wagcina ugqirha, uClark Mitchell, ukufumanisa ukuba abantu bagula ngokungaginyisi mathe xa bephilile. Ewe, abatyali mali kwi Mutual Benefits Corp. baqala ukuba nomsindo xa abantu abathengisa ifem yabo iinshurensi zobomi zange bafe kuba oko kwakuthetha ukuba abafumani mbuyekezo inkulu uSteinger wabathembisa yona (ukuya kuthi ga kwiipesenti ezingama-72, ngokwe eli bali ). Abatyalomali bakhalaza kwi-Florida Attorney General, eyaqala ukujonga imeko, eyothusa uSteinger.

Ukulungisa le meko, wadala iindidi zamashishini kunye nezopolitiko ukunikela ngemali kuwo onke amaDemokhrasi kwindlu yowiso-mthetho. Kwiinyanga ezine ezidlulileyo zika-2002, amaziko anxulumene noSteinger athumela iitshekhi ezingama- $ 550,000 kumbuso weDemocratic Party nakwi- $ 200,000 kwiKomiti yeSizwe yeDemocratic. (USteve Geller, usenator weDemokhrasi owayenempembelelo kwimicimbi yeinshurensi, wafumana i-5, 000 yeedola kwimithombo enxulumene neziBonelelo, I-Sun-Sentinel uxelwe kwisishwankathelo sika-2009 sayo yonke loo nto.)

Oku kwaba nefuthe elinqwenelekayo, kwaye abaDemokhrasi badibana ukuze babhale isiqwenga somthetho ngo-2003 ekhulula iiViaticals kummiselo welizwe. Ukusukela ukuba iSteinger's Mutual Benefits Corp. yayiyinkampani yabucala yeinshurensi kunye notyalo mali, i-SEC yayingenakho ukumlawula. Ke lo mthetho uza kushiya iziBonelelo eziManyeneyo ngaphandle komgaqo.

Ngelishwa kuSteinger, abaDemokhrasi babengenazo izihlunu zopolitiko zokufumana umthetho oyilwayo. Ke wajika wacela uncedo kuMendelsohn kwaye wamthumela imali yokuthenga iRiphabhlikhi. Ummeli uKim Berfield.(I-Florida House of Representative Ifayile)

Umbutho weRiphabhlikhi wombuso ufumene i-25,000 yeedola kwizinto ezinxulumene noSteinger kunyaka olandelayo emva kokuvota. I-PAC enxulunyaniswa noKim Berfield, owayengusihlalo weRiphabhlikhi kwikomiti yeinshurensi yeNdlu yafumana i-10, 000 yeedola kunye ne-PAC yexesha elizayo kwinkokheli yeSenate uKen Pruitt wafumana i-2 500 yeedola

Konke uxelelwe, uMendelsohn, usapho kunye nekomiti yakhe enkulu yezopolitiko banegalelo ubuncinci kwi-708,000 yeedola ngaphezulu kwama-275 abameli, abagqatswa bezomthetho kunye nezizathu zikarhulumente, ngokwe Ixesha leTampa Bay . Igalelo eliphakathi likaMendelsohn, ke, laliyi- $ 2,574.55 nje.

Yiyo loo nto i-50, 000 yeedola efunyenwe nguMnu Rubio evela kwi-Ophthalmology PAC - enye yeemoto eziphambili zikaMendelsohn ukufezekisa iminqweno kaSteinger- ime kakhulu, ngakumbi kuba ifumene imali kwiinyanga nje ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ivote ukukhulula iMitual Benefits Corp kummiselo. .

Ivoti ibibanjwe ngo-Epreli ka-2004- inyanga nje enye, nanjengoko kwenzekile, phambi kokuba i-SEC ivale i-Mutual Benefits Corp. Isicwangciso se-Steinger / Mendelsohn sokuphembelela besisebenza ngempumelelo kangangokuba lilungu elinye lendlu kunye nesenethi enye elichasayo.

I-senator, u-Democrat Skip Campbell, kamva wathi abomthetho bavotela i-bill ngesizathu esinye kuphela: igalelo lezopolitiko. Kwakucacile kum ukuba esi yayisisikimu esikhulu sePonzi kwaye sasiza kuluma abantu abaninzi, uxelele I-Sun-Sentinel .

I-US Coast Guard yahlasela inqanawa yaseRussia yokuloba kunxweme lwaseCalifornia yafumana iitoni ezilishumi elinambini zecocaine ebhodini (phantsi kweskwidi esineqhwa).

Kodwa emva kwevoti, uSteinger, Mendelsohn, Mnu Rubio kwaye phantse yonke ingqungquthela yaseFlorida bavuyiswa sisiphumo. Kwakubonakala ngathi yimpumelelo kubo bonke.

Kwakukho nje iingxaki ezimbalwa.

Zonke izikhalazo ezivela kubatyali mali beMutual Benefits Corp. zibangele urhulumente emva koko no-SEC baphande inkampani. Kwaye ke ngoMeyi ka-2004, kwiinyanga ezimbini emva kokuphumelela kuka-Steinger ngazwinye kwezopolitiko, i-SEC yakhupha imeko engxamisekileyo yenkampani yakhe.

Awu, ngo-2001 kwenzeka into eyayiqhele ngama-3000 eekhilomitha eCalifornia eyayiza kungqineka iyingozi kakhulu (kwaye yayihlazisa) kwiSteinger's Mutual Benefits Corp. kunye nabaxhasi bayo bezopolitiko, nangona kwakungekho mntu waziyo ngelo xesha. Into eyenzekileyo yileya iUS U.S. Guard Guard yahlasela inqanawa yokuloba yase Russia kunxweme lwaseCalifornia kwaye ndafumana iitoni ezilishumi elinambini zecocaine ebhodini (phantsi kwe squid efriziwe).

Oko kukhokelele ekudalweni kweqela elisebenzayo le-FBI / DEA, elilandele icocaine eColombia, apho, i IChicago Tribune ixelwe , IziBonelelo eziManyeneyo yayikukuthengisa izinto zentengiso. Ikontraka eliphumelele kakhulu kule nkampani yayinguJaime Rey Albornoz, owathi ngo-2004 wabekwa ityala njengelungu leziko elithengisa iziyobisi kunye nabanye abane abatyholwa, abatyholwa ngokuhambisa izigidi zeedola ezingekho mthethweni kwihlabathi liphela nakutyalo-mali lweZibonelelo zoMbane, ngokwe Tribune .

Iqela elidibeneyo le-FBI / DEA, elalizinze ePalm Beach County, ekugqibeleni lafumana yonke imali eyasasazwa ngu-Steinger kunye no-Mendelsohn owayephethe u-Mendelsohn. Kule minyaka imbalwa izayo ukutyholwa kwamangalelwa kwaye wagweba inani labantu kulomcimbi.

Babandakanya uMitchell, ugqirha ophosakeleyo owafumanisa ubuxoki kubantu abanoGawulayo kuSteinger (kwaye kamva kwavela ukuba uqhathe uMedare), owalivuma ityala lobuqhetseba ngo-2006; kunye noSenator welizwe uMandy Dawson, owathatha amashumi amawaka eedola kwiminikelo yezopolitiko evela kuMendelsohn nowathi wagwetywa ngo-2012 iinyanga ezintandathu entolongweni ngenxa yokubaleka ukuhlawula irhafu.

Iifidi zithathe phantsi uMendelsohn, othe ukongeza ekwenzeni igalelo ekuthengeni ifuthe lezopolitiko wabethelelwa ngokulungiselela ukufumana iidollar ezingama-60,000 [ezivela kubaxhasi bakhe bezopolitiko] ezithunyelwa ngqo kwinkosikazi yakhe inyanga nenyanga isithuba seminyaka emibini, ngokwe ityala lakhe. UMendelsohn wakhululwa entolongweni ngo-2014, kwangonyaka omnye noSteinger uqalise ukuvalelwa iminyaka engama-20 yokuqhuba iziBonelelo eziManyeneyo zePonzi Scheme.

Iqela lomdibaniselwano kubikwa ukuba lalifuna ukulandela abezopolitiko abaxhasa umthetho wezilwanyana zikaSteinger, ngakumbi abo bafumana imali yakhe enkulu kunye nezobupolitika zikaMendelsohn. Kodwa kulapho izinto ziye zangcungcutheka khona, mhlawumbi kuba abezopolitiko abaphambili abaxhasa uSteinger babengenanjongo zokuya entolongweni ngokwabo.

Okokuqala, umgwebi waseFlorida watywina yonke into enento yokwenza netyala eliqhubekayo likaSteinger kanye njengoko iifedesi bezilungiselela ukulandela ipolitiki, ezingazange zimise uphando kodwa zanceda ukugcina amagama ezopolitiko abandakanyeka kwimithombo yeendaba. Inkqubo ye- Isentinel yelanga Iphephandaba laya enkundleni ukuphikisa lo nto, lisithi eli tyala kufuneka lihlale livulelekile eluntwini kuba uninzi lwabaphathi abonyuliweyo babephantsi kweliso, kodwa iphephandaba laphulukana nenkundla.

URubio uthathe i-50, 000 yeedola ku-Mendelsohn kwi-Floridians ye-Conservative Leadership, i-PAC yakhe, kwaye loo nto ingaphezulu kuninzi loogxa bakhe abafumene kwi-jailbird yexesha elizayo.

Nangona kunjalo, ijaji eyalitywina ityala ngequbuliso kwaye ngokungummangaliso yarhoxa nakuluphi na ukubandakanyeka okuqhubekayo, ivuma ukuba yayinongquzulwano lomdla - ayitshongo ukuba yayiyintoni - eyayifuna iye ecaleni. Amagqwetha amabini ase-US avela eFlorida abatshutshisa eli tyala bazikhupha kubo, bekwachaza ukungqubana komdla abangazange bakuxele.

Kukho izinto ezimbalwa apha ezibonakala zimbi kuMnu Rubio. Kuqala, uthathe i-50, 000 yeedola eMendelsohn yeeFloridians kubuNkokheli obuGcinayo, i-PAC yakhe, kwaye ingaphezulu kakhulu kuninzi loogxa bakhe abafumene kwi-jailbird yexesha elizayo. Kwaye uMendelsohn waqhubeka nokunyusa imali kuye kude kube ngu-2009, iminyaka emihlanu emva kokuba i-SEC ivaliwe iSkinger's Ponzi scheme.

Okwesibini, wasebenzisa imali yakhe ye-PAC ukuhlawula izalamane ezifana nenkosikazi yakhe, kwaye iintlawulo kuye zenziwa kwinkampani awathi wayivala iminyaka esixhenxe ngaphambili, ngokweerekhodi ezifakwe kuNobhala kaRhulumente waseFlorida. Ngapha koko, i-PAC yakhe yahlawula malunga ne-25,000 yeedola kumfazi ogama lingu-Bridget Nocco, owayesakuba ngumqeshwa e-Florida House, lobbyist kunye no-Rubio fundraiser. Kwaye uMnu Rubio ukwasebenzise i-PAC yakhe ukuhlawulela izidlo kunye nendawo yokuhlala ezibonakala ngathi zinxulumana kuphela nomsebenzi wephulo lokwenyani kwaye zijongeka njengeendleko zobuqu.

Okwesithathu, umhlobo osenyongweni kaMnu Rubio kunye nomhlobo wakhe uMnu. Rivera ujikelezwe iminyaka ngabaphandi, i UMiami Herald kuphawulwe ngo-2015, kwaye imithombo iye yandixelela ukuba iifidi zinomdla kubambiswano lwabo lwezopolitiko.

Ke kwenzeka njani ukuba uMnu Rubio ngequbuliso avele njengempahla eshushu kugqatso lokutyumba i-GOP? Ewe, njengoko kuphawuliwe ngasentla, abachasi bakhe abakhulu nguMnu.Trump, umntu ongenamakhonkco, kunye noMnu Cruz, i-cretin yasekunene enezimvo zoluntu ezothusayo kunye nelona bango labo lodumo kumgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle kukuba ufuna ikhaphethi Urhulumente wamaSilamsi.

Kodwa ukuba i-FBI inyani malunga nokujonga kuMarco Rubio, abo bakhuphisana naye bangaqala ukukhangeleka ngakumbi, ubuncinci ngokwembono yonyulo.
