Kofaj and Bata Lado's Scheme to Conceal Payments From We Build the Wall
Kofaj: I was hoping that Steve Bannon is such a lazy schemer that he's like, oh, fuck, I gotta put a non-profit together to fucking be able to move this money around. "I've always wanted to create an LLC for a variety of reasons and call it unlimited liability because there's something my brain that enjoys the idea of unlimited liability," Kofaj says. The group devised a scheme to route these payments from We Build the Wall to Kofaj indirectly through a nonprofit and a shell company under Shea's control,. They did so by using fake invoices and sham vendor arrangements in order to ensure his pay arrangement remained confidential.
