[Lnc-business] Deceitful FEC Filings

[Steven Nekhaila]

    	Thank you for updating us on this Tim, keep us in the loop as this develops. Are there any motives behind this? Are there any activity in their reports? Very odd.
Sincerely,

Is this something we need to issue a statement on to forewarn our members?

We have become aware of FEC Form 1, Statement of Organization, filings

with the FEC in December and this month calling themselves "Libertarian

National Committee", "Libertarian Party of United States", and

"Libertarian Party National Committee". None of these are affiliated

with nor authorized by the Libertarian National Committee. 



While at first I thought that incompetence was a slight possibility,

fraud or election tampering is likely. In consultation with Ms. Edwards

and Mr. Hall, we have filed Forms 99, Miscellaneous Document, with the

FEC explaining the LNC is not affiliated with these organizations and

requesting the FEC terminate the committees. We sent cease and desist

letters to the persons listed in the Statements of Organization, and

also notified the bank listed in the forms. 



If you hear of suspicious fundraising, or fundraising in the name of the

LNC or Libertarian Party that does not go to a state affiliate,

www.LP.org, www.libertarianconvention.org, 1444 Duke Street, or an LNC

member or staff, please let me or Mr. Fishman know. Also note that the

LNC will never ask for cryptocurrency be transferred to a wallet. All

Bitcoin donations are processed through BitPay in accordance with FEC

regulations. 



Here are links to the forms on the FEC website.
