Another Way to Mask Super Rich Donors

摘要

In January, Ted Cruz's quest for the presidency got help from a limited liability company called V3 231. The LLC was listed as the source of a $250,000 donation to a super PAC supporting the conservative Republican senator from Texas. For anyone wondering what V3 231 is, or who controls it, there were few clues. A lawsuit filed in federal court mentions the company once owned a hotel in Brooklyn, N.Y. A search on the Internet reveals the name of the hotel's now defunct developer. One of the developer's former executives, reached on his mobile phone, says another man controls the LLC. That guy's name, the former executive says, is Ben Nash.
