I’m curious why the employees were receiving checks from the Super PAC. What work did they do? Or are they saying he paid their normal wages like this with “organizing” in the memo for a regular paycheck?
Sorry, I could’ve stood to include the prior paragraph:
“I was hired as a manager to basically take care of the bar, take care of his tap room in Madison,” said [the same] former employee who requested anonymity. “At first, I was paid by a regular direct deposit, and then he said he’s going to pay me from the Super PAC and from the business. And I started to do some research. I spoke with a couple attorneys and an accountant, and they said, that’s kind of shady, not a good idea.”
I haven’t done a ton of research on the guy, but he definitely seems like a grifter. I started getting emails from him out of the blue a while back. It was a brewery but also a PAC and the surface level messaging seemed like stuff I was aligned with until it started getting a little unhinged.
He tried to get on the ballot for governor recently but failed. It all kind of seems like political theater.

Yeah that sounds like money laundering/fraud, either to pay less in payroll taxes or to make the business look leaner on paper to sell it.
Well that certainly explains it. Shady as fuck.
