Yet another false accusation of 4chan for these liberal faggots. I wish anyone who considers themselves 'anonymous' would die. Anyone too cowardly to threaten someone directly doesn't deserve international recognition.

“We don’t investigate fraudulent charges unless they are over $100,” the fraud specialist explained. “The Clinton campaign knows this, that’s why we don’t see any charges over the $100 amount, they’ll stop the charges just below $100. We’ll see her campaign overcharge donors by $20, $40 or $60 but never more than $100.” The source, who has worked for Wells Fargo for over 10 years, said that the total amount they refund customers on a daily basis who have been overcharged by Clinton’s campaign “varies” but the bank usually issues refunds that total between $700 and $1200 per day.

The fraud specialist said that Clinton donors who call in will attempt to resolve the issue with the campaign first but they never get anywhere. “They will call the Clinton campaign to get their refund and the issue never gets resolved. So they call us and we just issue the refund. The Clinton campaign knows these charges are small potatoes and that we’ll just refund the money back.”

The source said that pornography companies often deploy a similar arrangement pull. “We see this same scheme with a lot of seedy porn companies,” the source said. The source also notes that the dozens of phone calls his department receives daily are from people who notice the fraudulent charges on their statements. “The people who call us are just the ones who catch the fraudulent charges. I can’t imagine how many more people are getting overcharged by Hillary’s campaign and they have no idea.”

The source said he’s apolitical but noted that the bank’s fraud department is yet to receive one call from a Donald Trump supporter claiming to have been overcharged by Trump’s campaign. “I’m only talking to you because what Hillary’s doing is so messed up, she’s stealing from her poorest supporters.”

Carol Mahre has been charged multiple times after signing up for a one-time donation. Her son, Roger Mahre, is an attorney who filed a complaint with Minnesota’s Attorney General.

Wells Fargo recently came under fire after news broke that various regulators fined the big bank $185 million for opening 2 million phony customer accounts without their customers’ permission. This massive scandal resulted in the firing of 5,300 Wells Fargo employees.

Carol Mahre, an 81-year-old grandmother of seven from Minnesota, is one of the victims of Clinton’s campaign donor fraud scandal. In March, Mahre said she made a one-time $25 donation via Clinton’s official campaign website. However, when she received her US Bank card statement, she noticed multiple $25 charges were made. Mahre, who said in an interview she only contributed $25 because she’s “not rich” and that’s all she could afford, contacted her son, Roger Mahre, to help her dispute the unauthorized charges.

Roger, who is an attorney, told the Observer that he called the Clinton campaign dozens of times in April and early May in an attempt to resolve the issue. “It took me at least 40 to 50 phone calls to the campaign office before I finally got ahold of someone,” Roger said. “After I got a campaign worker on the phone, she said they would stop making the charges.”

Incredibly, the very next day, Carol’s card was charged yet again and the campaign had never reversed the initial fraudulent charges. “I was told they would stop charging my mother’s card but they never stopped.” He added that he knows his mother did not sign up for recurring payments. “She’s very good with the Internet so I know she only made a one-time payment.” Roger also pointed out that even if his mother mistakenly signed up for recurring monthly payments then she should’ve been charged for the same amount of money each month, not multiple charges for varying amounts on the same day or in the same month. Furthermore, Roger said that after the campaign was made aware of this situation, the charges should’ve stopped but they never did.

The Clinton campaign overcharged Carol $25 three times and then overcharged her one time for $19, a grand total of $94 in fraudulent charges. The campaign’s overcharges to Carol were just a few dollars short of $100. This is in line with what the Wells Fargo bank source revealed to the Observer.

Since the campaign failed to amend the problem for Carol, Roger contacted her bank, US Bank. However, he ran into problems when he asked US Bank to refund his mother’s money. Roger told the Observer that the bank would not reverse the charges and that a bank spokesperson told him that they had no control over companies that make unauthorized charges. At that point, Roger decided to contact his local news and filed a fraud complaint with Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson’s office on behalf of his mother. After local TV news Kare 11 ran a story, someone from US Bank contacted Roger the next day and said that they had reversed and stopped the charges to his mother’s card.

A representative from Minnesota’s Democratic attorney general’s office told Roger that this problem wasn’t in their jurisdiction and that they had forwarded the case to the FEC. However, FEC spokesperson Julia Queen told the Observer they have no record of the case. “We don’t have it,” Queen said. The Observer contacted Swanson’s office and did not hear back.

Roger did eventually get a letter from a lawyer representing the Clinton campaign. In the letter, the lawyer wrote that his mother would be removed from their donor list; however, the campaign did not take any responsibility for the fraudulent charges.

“They basically said that they weren’t accepting responsibility for this but they’d remove my mom from the donor list,” he said. Roger is less than happy with the way the Clinton campaign has handled this nightmare for him and his mother. “This is a load of crap!” Mahre said.

Good to see these kind of stories in here; thanks anon

why is this a fucking news?

>The Mumbai Shuffle

>The Trump Organization is not like the Bill, Hillary & Chelsea Clinton Foundation, the charitable enterprise that has been the subject of intense scrutiny about possible conflicts for the Democratic presidential nominee. There are allegations that Hillary Clinton bestowed benefits on contributors to the foundation in some sort of “pay to play” scandal when she was secretary of state, but that makes no sense because there was no “pay.” Money contributed to the foundation was publicly disclosed and went to charitable efforts, such as fighting neglected tropical diseases that infect as many as a billion people. The financials audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers, the global independent accounting company, and the foundation’s tax filings show that about 90 percent of the money it raised went to its charitable programs. (Trump surrogates have falsely claimed that it was only 10 percent and that the rest was used as a Clinton “slush fund.”) No member of the Clinton family received any cash from the foundation, nor did it finance any political campaigns. In fact, like the Clintons, almost the entire board of directors works for free.

>On the other hand, the Trump family rakes in untold millions of dollars from the Trump Organization every year. Much of that comes from deals with international financiers and developers, many of whom have been tied to controversial and even illegal activities. None of Trump’s overseas contractual business relationships examined by Newsweek were revealed in his campaign’s financial filings with the Federal Election Commission, nor was the amount paid to him by his foreign partners. (The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for the names of all foreign entities in partnership or contractually tied to the Trump Organization.) Trump’s financial filings also indicate he is a shareholder or beneficiary of several overseas entities, including Excel Venture LLC in the French West Indies and Caribusiness Investments SRL, based in the Dominican Republic, one of the world’s tax havens.

>Trump’s business conflicts with America’s national security interests cannot be resolved so long as he or any member of his family maintains a financial interest in the Trump Organization during a Trump administration, or even if they leave open the possibility of returning to the company later. The Trump Organization cannot be placed into a blind trust, an arrangement used by many politicians to prevent them from knowing their financial interests; the Trump family is already aware of who their overseas partners are and could easily learn about any new ones.

>Many foreign governments retain close ties to and even control of companies in their country, including several that already are partnered with the Trump Organization. Any government wanting to seek future influence with President Trump could do so by arranging for a partnership with the Trump Organization, feeding money directly to the family or simply stashing it away inside the company for their use once Trump is out of the White House. This is why, without a permanent departure of the entire Trump family from their company, the prospect of legal bribery by overseas powers seeking to influence American foreign policy, either through existing or future partnerships, will remain a reality throughout a Trump presidency.

>Moreover, the identity of every partner cannot be discovered if Trump reverses course and decided to release his taxes. The partnerships are struck with some of the more than 500 entities disclosed in Trump’s financial disclosure forms; each of those entities has its own records that would have to be revealed for a full accounting of all of Trump’s foreign entanglements to be made public.

>The problem of overseas conflicts emerges from the nature of Trump’s business in recent years. Much of the public believes Trump is a hugely successful developer, a television personality and a failed casino operator. But his primary business deals for almost a decade have been a quite different endeavor. The GOP nominee is essentially a licensor who leverages his celebrity into streams of cash from partners from all over the world. The business model for Trump’s company started to change around 2007, after he became the star of NBC’s The Apprentice, which boosted his national and international fame. Rather than constructing Trump’s own hotels, office towers and other buildings, much of his business involved striking deals with overseas developers who pay his company for the right to slap his name on their buildings.

This should be the top story on all the major US news broadcasts tonight, along with the presidential candidates reactions to this news.

But instead American media is obsessed with the stupidest, most unrepresentative parts of the two candidate's campaigns, like beating a dead horse over Hillary's emails and Trump's small percentage of supporters who beat up protesters at his rallies.

The media are tools and so is Congress. The real "elites" aren't in the media and aren't politically partisan toward the democrats or republicans. The real "elites" work in finance and control the banking and retirement accounts of those public servants and celebrities with big egos who think they are important. Stories like this prove they will never get more than a slap on the wrist for their crimes.

Robbing muthafuakers.

This will quickly be vetoed by Obama. He doesn't give a rats ass about the public and what they think or want, he's a lame duck. It will then be sent back where it will languish and ultimately forgotten. The Saudis have way to much power/connections in U.S. Government

They should sue israel because it was zionists that masterminded 911. There was a supposedly "retired" israeli agent on board one of the planes who had terminal cancer. These facts came out right after sept .11 along with a lot of other facts incriminating israeli intelligence agencies. But all these facts were quickly buried away.

What? This will only harm the companies themselves. Wouldn't be surprised if they formed a new holding company HQ'd in Singapore or Hong Kong to stay outside the jurisdiction of both American and European tax authorities.

Poor apple, losing part of its trillions.

Team Colin Powell! Let's hope he has the courage to stand behind his truth now that it is out.

>Former secretary of State Colin Powell didn't think highly of former Vice President Dick Cheney and his family, leaked private emails show.

>"They are idiots and spent force peddling a book that ain't going nowhere," Powell wrote in an email to Kenneth Duberstein, the former White House chief of staff to President Reagan.

I didn't know Colin Powell was one of those Bohemian Grove people. I guess it figures he would push Hillary's agenda seeing as how they serve the same master.

>At the time, Lostutter was hacking under the title KYAnonymous. After teaming up with a second hacker called Noah McHugh, using the name JustBatCat, the pair launched Operation Roll Red Roll that eventually helped expose tweets, images and social media posts showing members of the high school football team joking about the rape.


>The Anonymous hackers also published videos, pictures and emails that appeared to provide more information about the people involved in the incident.

>Furthermore, accusations emerged that indicated the Ohio town – including the high school's football coach, Reno Saccoccia – had attempted to cover up the incident.

>McHugh is facing his own legal troubles after hacking the website. In a separate plea agreement, he admitted to playing a role in the website infiltration and pleaded guilty to the hacking charge on 2 September this year. He now faces up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

>Lostutter, as the main suspect behind the football website hack, could be set for a much stricter sentence. He claims, as reported by Mic, the court is out to make an example of him in the week-long trial that will begin on 8 November.

>"You get 16 years for forcibly entering your way into a computer, but you get one year for forcibly entering your way into a woman," Lostutter said. "I think that's the precedent the government is setting here."

I see no issue, college/high school sports players have a history of doing this retarded shit only to get away with it or get a light sentence because daddy knows someone, only reinforcing this kind of behavior in their children, not that it matters, he's good at sports, can't let rape get in the way of that.

I choose that because its WALL ST. of all people

I had hoped someone would have noted that.

Here is another article

My point is there needs to be better dialogue about this.

I remember when SOPA/PIPA/CISPA tried to get passed and everyone was on the case like moths. Why not for this one??

ted cruz will save us

This is not the first time that the government has attempted to tackle social behavior.

Between 2006 and 2012, authorities gave awards to about 6,000 villages for shifting completely to toilets. But many of them lapsed back because there was no incentive to sustain the new practice.

Brides were asked to shun grooms who did not use toilets. In one campaign, rural men were admonished for making the veiled women in their families defecate in the open. Critics said it endorsed patriarchal attitudes. An unintended fallout of the campaign was that in many villages toilets came to be regarded as important for women, not men.

But now the government is tweaking the definition of modernity a bit. No, not that new bank job in the city; not the motor scooter, or the sofa. It is the toilet.

something something poo in loo yadda yadda

It's easier to teach a cat to use the toilet than get Indians to use one.

Still trying to milk the emails for something they can use in the election, eh? Well good luck with the 9th consecutive congressional hearing on the subject. May the GAO never reveal nor add how much this one cost to the sum total of the others.

>He excused himself one day from work and told fellow employees he was attending a security conference. In reality, the system administrator crossed the border into a neighboring country (a one-hour drive from his workplace), where he used a commercial vulnerability scanner to probe his company's network, just like it would happen in a real attack.
>"System administrator defaced his own website"

>When he came back to work the next day, he used his admin panel credentials to deface one of the company's websites with a message from a hacktivist group accusing the firm of globalization. He saved a copy of the defacement on the Zone-H mirroring site and erased all data from the web root folder, along with all the logs.

>He then reported the hack to his bosses claiming the company was attacked by known hackers and recommended that he wipe the server and reinstall everything to avoid a prolonged downtime.

>After he received approval and carried out a server clean-up, the sysadmin also contacted the company's web security provider, a Swiss-based company named High-Tech Bridge.

>When High-Tech's security team arrived to inspect the hacked server, they discovered a newly installed machine instead, with no clues about the attackers or the attack's origin.
>"Clues leave a trace back to the sysadmin"

>Unfortunately for the server admin, he didn't cover all his tracks. High-Tech Bridge investigators were quick to point out a series of discrepancies.

>For example, anyone who has ever met a hacktivist knows that they're all about media coverage and publicity stunts. There was no trace on social media about this hack.

>Investigators also pointed out that the target of the defacement was a well-protected subdomain on a less used server, which makes no sense since the company was managing several highly trafficked websites that ran older software, which were much easier to hack from an attacker's perspective.

...

>Unknown to all at that time was the fact that the system administrator chose to deface that website because the data he was told to steal was stored on that less trafficked server.
>"Hacktivists can't afford enterprise-grade vulnerability scanners"

>Additionally, the attack was carried out from an IP belonging to a public Wi-Fi network, something that also doesn't fit the hacktivist attack model because these groups use Tor in almost 99.99% of all cases to hide their location.

>Furthermore, the security scanner the system administrator used to search for vulnerabilities was a very expensive tool, which very few hacktivists could afford, and one for which the company held a few licenses.

>"[T]he defacement was definitely done via existing functionality of the admin panel, without altering file content directly via a system command," Ilia Kolochenko, High-Tech Bridge CSO, explains.

>Since access to the admin panel was only limited to a select IP range, assigned to computers inside the company, this meant the login took place from behind the company's firewall, in other words, this was the work of an insider.

>Add to this the fact that the system administrator insisted for a server reinstallation, against all security breach procedures, meant the sysadmin had something to gain by erasing that server. All of these clues placed the sysadmin at the top of the main suspects list.

>Confronted with all the details gathered by the High-Tech Bridge team, the system administrator admitted to his wrongdoing.
