| | #010: 01-07-05 POLITICAL FUNDRAISER DAVID ROSEN INDICTED FOR CAUSING FALSE FILINGS WITH FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | The indictment alleges that Rosen, an experienced professional political fundraiser, was responsible for all fundraising, planning and costs for an Aug. 12, 2000 fundraising event in Los Angeles, California for the purpose of raising money for a joint fundraising committee which benefited, in part, the campaign of Rosen’s Senate candidate. |
 | | The indictment charges that Rosen provided some documents to the joint fundraising committee’s FEC compliance officer, but withheld true costs that were known to him and provided false documents to substantiate the lower figure. |
 | | In one instance, Rosen is charged with obtaining and delivering to the committee a fraudulent invoice stating that the cost of the concert portion of the event was $200,000, when he knew that the figure had no basis in fact. |
