Two Men Jailed in Sinister PAC Scheme That Raised $28 Million From Defrauded Donors
Two men have been arrested in a sinister scheme to defraud millions out of donors who thought they were giving to charitable causes.
Richard Zeitlin and Robert Piaro were caught in Las Vegas, Nevada and Fredonia, Wisconsin respectively after they allegedly colluded to mislead donors into funding their shady political action committees.
Each man played a critical role in the proposed plot. Zeitlin, 53, was the fundraiser. He ran a multimillion-dollar telemarketing call center business that he used to make calls on behalf of Piaro’s PACs.
