| Description | The FBI is investigating allegations that cyber criminals stole nearly $700,000 from Kansas Republican Senator Jerry Moran's campaign, according to a letter the campaign sent to the Federal Elections Committee.
On Dec. 8, 2022, Moran campaign treasurer Timothy Gottschalk notified the FEC of "fraudulent activity by a third-party cyber-criminal" that was included in the campaign's finance reporting, according to a Form 99 filing.
Moran's campaign informed the FEC that on Nov. 14, their office was contacted by Astra Bank and notified of potentially fraudulent activity concerning two wire transfers to SRCP Media Inc. that totaled $690,000.
The first wire transfer was sent on Oct. 25, for $345,000 and the second wire was sent on Nov. 9, for $345,000. |
