I wrote about this when Zeitlin was arrested. https://tinyurl.com/24g5abgs

See:

So it’s gone beyond the previously filed civil case to a criminal action. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, Southern District of New York is a heavy hitter. Disgraced Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani became famous there during his racket busting days.
Co-defendant Robert Piaro lives in Fredonia, WI. No surprise given Zeitlin’s connections there.

Anonymous, I wonder what Zeitlin does with the demands for payment.

I’ve also been getting calls from Zeitlin’s companies. It’s not clear what the exact relationship is between him and the various “charities”, i.e. are they truly independent or are they collectively a corrupt organization. The calls always use a spoofed phone number but the complaint against Zeitlin doesn’t mention this even though that’s illegal (or so I think). Also the address of these Washington based “charities” that’s listed in their FEC filings is just a virtual office, typically rented from Regus, and they hide where they’re really based. You can sometimes figure out where they really are from the name of the treasurer and fees paid to him, a lawyer, or a bank. Wisconsin, where Zeitlin came from, is very common. I observe that none of Zeitlin’s companies in the complaint were listed in the Constitutional Leadership PAC’s filed disbursements for year end 2022. Not sure what to make of that. In a recent call I asked what was the name of the organization that they were calling for and was promptly disconnected. Apparently it wasn’t on the soundboard’s list of responses. I’ve gotten fed up with the calls and after a brief search found Zeitlin’s home address and phone number. Now when they call I agree to make a significant donation but insist on doing so through the mail. I’m then transferred to someone to take down my information and I give them Zeitlin’s.
