NEW: GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx's campaign has re-filed financial disclosures to remove Marx's name from a mystery out-of-state company profiting from his merchandise sales. But the new disclosures don't provide the legally-required info on who owns the LLC.

Marx, his family, and his campaign directed donors to a site selling merchandise and meetings with Marx for up to $1300. Marx won't say where the money is going. When his campaign filed a campaign finance disclosure listing Marx as the LLC's owner, he called it a "silly mistake."

The Marx campaign has to disclose the LLC's owner because it paid the campaign a $5k licensing fee. Contributions above the $1450 limit can only come from the candidate himself. So the LLC must disclose its owner is Marx, or several other people. The new filing does neither.

As the late great Ron Popeil would say: but wait, there's more! New campaign finance filings now show Not Shook, LLC - which is based in Wyoming - also paid the Marx's campaign $6k for "merchandise purchased at cost." Presumably to stock the merch store.

This means Not Shook, LLC has now given the Marx campaign $11k (and made who knows how much off selling merch and meetings with Marx). If the LLC isn't Marx himself (a candidate can self-fund with no limit), it must declare EIGHT owners to stay under legal contribution limits.

Well, I just watched a TT video about Brad Parscales & some 23yo Latvian who have started companies supposedly based in Wyoming. Wonder if there is a connection.
