This sequence of events started when Politico’s Jeff Coltin
appeared to coordinate with Mamdani’s campaign to dismiss our bundler investigation as ‘false.’ It escalated to legal threats against both the forensic investigator and Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, who amplified our findings to his 544K followers—institutional power in action
The
legal threat came from Victoria Perrone, treasurer of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign, after we exposed their $2+ million Silicon Valley-funded PAC operation. What began as coordinated media damage control through Politico escalated to direct intimidation tactics when their narrative failed to silence our transparency reporting.
The evidence is devastating and the timeline is bulletproof. This is how a “grassroots revolution” deploys record alterations, coordinated media manipulation, and legal intimidation when you follow the money.
The Investigation That Started It All
What happens when forensic analysis exposes a ‘grassroots’ campaign’s financial irregularities? Legal threats. What began as questions about bundler irregularities would ultimately reveal something extraordinary—Zohran Mamdani’s “working-class revolution” was actually powered by a sophisticated $2+ million PAC operation funded by Silicon Valley billionaires, Hollywood celebrities, and out-of-state tech entrepreneurs.
On June 29th, we published “How Zohran Mamdani’s ‘Grassroots’ Campaign Engineered the Perfect Political Heist,” exposing how the campaign had leveraged a single bundler to generate $1.6 million—representing 94% of all contributions—while triggering $7 million in taxpayer matching funds. The piece revealed that despite 2.8 million Instagram followers, exactly zero people had donated directly through the campaign website. That same day, our investigation gained immediate national attention when we appeared on Newsmax with host Lidia Curanaj to discuss the bundling irregularities we had exposed. During that appearance, we met former Lt. Governor Betsy McCaughey in the greenroom and discussed Mamdani’s campaign finances.
The day after, June 30th, we followed up with “
The Mamdani Deception: The Grassroots Campaign That Never Existed.” This technical analysis included source code from Mamdani’s website proving the donation infrastructure couldn’t track individual contributions—making the massive bundler attribution mathematically suspicious.
On July 1st, we returned to Newsmax for follow-up coverage with host Lidia Curanaj questioning the campaign’s bundling practices ([
