The Oregonian/OregonLive that revealed the $500,000 — the largest sum received by the Democratic Party of Oregon PAC on record in the state campaign finance database — did not come from the Las Vegas cryptocurrency company Prime Trust as reported by the party. Rather, Prime Trust representatives told The Oregonian/OregonLive that it functioned only as a pass-through.

Under Oregon statute, it is a Class C felony to make a campaign contribution under a “false name.”
