So can he even legally donate this money to the government?

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'm guessing this means they aren't going to build the wall.
Prosecutors alleged that Bannon and Kolfage along with two others — Andrew Badolato and Timothy Shea — routed payments from the crowdfunding campaign through the nonprofit and another shell company and disguised them with fake invoices to help keep their personal pay secret. All four were arrested Thursday and are expected to make court appearances later in the day; Bannon, a law enforcement official said, was taken into custody while aboard someone else’s 150-foot yacht off the coast of Westbrook, Conn. They are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

Not just that one.  There are probably hundreds if not thousands of charitable foundations that rich people hide their money in.  I bet a healthy percentage have something similar going on.  I am sure the laws/regulations have plenty of loopholes allowing some of it.

You apparently do not want to mess with the Post Office.

This is why I prefer to pay for firearms purchased over the Internet using USPS money orders.

That said, how the heck did the postal inspectors and the Coast Guard know that Bannon was on a yacht, and exactly where to find the aforementioned yacht in Long Island Sound? Long Island Sound isn't exactly the Pacific Ocean, but it's not exactly a goldfish pond, either.

Depending on the "yacht" it may very well have an AIS system on board.  If not, even small boats these days have an MMSI programmed into their VHF Digital Selective Calling radios that will transmit location info when queried.

Even a small "yacht" is likely to have Global Maritime Distress Safety System (GMDSS) gear and SATCOMS aboard, almost all of which have their own GPS chips (or feed from the vessels's GPS) and transmit location information.

Note to self: if I ever get a yacht, be sure there's a hidden "off" switch for the spyware systems.

Dang.

My ex-wife and I sold our sailboat 35 years ago. I guess we just missed the technology wave -- we navigated with paper charts, paper tide tables, and a [magnetic] marine compass. I also had a sextant, but we never cruised offshore so I didn't get very proficient with it.
