Moore's Complete Ledger — Every Account, Every Entity, Every Fraud Pattern
The Complete Ledger
Renae Moore has served as officer — treasurer, assistant secretary, assistant treasurer, or custodian of records — for at least 54 entities from one desk at Dykema Gossett, 201 Townsend Street, Suite 900, Lansing, MI 48933.
She testified under oath that she has “no duty to report” questionable spending.
She has been named in a $1,000,000 money laundering complaint by the Michigan Department of State.
The FEC has flagged her filings and demanded clarification.
She manages accounts for both the defendant and the prosecutor in the same criminal case.
Here is every account. Every source. Every pattern.

FEC Red Flags
Hill Harper for Michigan (C00844985): The FEC sent Moore a Request for Additional Information (RFAI) on November 16, 2023, demanding she clarify vague disbursement descriptions: “Consultant expenses,” “Consulting (A2 Political Consulting),” “Consulting (Mercury Analytics),” “Consulting (VR Research),” “Consulting fees,” and “Fees.” The FEC warned: “Failure to adequately respond could result in an audit or enforcement action.”

Dykema PAC — Who Gets the Money: From 2006 to 2026, Dykema PAC has disbursed to Republicans AND Democrats: Dan Crenshaw (R-TX), Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Gerry Connolly (D-VA), John James (R-MI), Stabenow (D-MI), Carl Levin (D-MI), Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), National Republican Senatorial Committee, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Both parties. Same desk. Same treasurer.
II. MICHIGAN STATE COMMITTEES — Moore as Treasurer

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Committee to Elect Thomas A. Albert | 517379 | Candidate | R | State Rep, 86th District |

III. THE $1,000,000 MONEY LAUNDERING COMPLAINT
Meyers v. RFFW LLC d/b/a RFFW Ballot Question Committee AND Renae Moore, Treasurer
Filed September 7, 2023, with the Michigan Department of State, Bureau of Elections.
The Facts
RFFW LLC was a Michigan limited liability company that:
- Failed to register as a ballot question committee for 351 days (violation of MCL 169.224(1))
- Transferred at least $1,000,000 to Reproductive Freedom For All without disclosure
- Only registered after a complaint was filed AND the Department rejected RFFW’s claims that it wasn’t a ballot question committee
- Filed a Dissolution Statement while still having significant unreported expenditures
- Reported zero expenditures despite Dykema’s vigorous legal defense of RFFW (which was never reported as a legal expenditure)
- Paid a $1,300 fine — which was also never reported
Moore’s Role
Renae Moore was the named Treasurer of RFFW LLC. The complaint calls out that Moore’s address is the Dykema law firm in Lansing.
The complaint explicitly accuses Moore of “Filing Fraudulent Campaign Finance Reports” — the headline of the complaint reads:
“Campaign Finance Complaint against RFFW LLC d/b/a RFFW Ballot Question Committee and Renae Moore, Treasurer for Filing Fraudulent Campaign Finance Reports”
The Pattern
The complainant noted this was not the first time this structure was used. In a 2014 matter involving Home Care First, Inc., the same technique — forming a nonprofit instead of a ballot question committee — was used to “thwart the disclosure purposes of the Michigan Campaign Finance Act and deprive the electorate of any meaningful opportunity to discover the source of funds prior to Election Day.”
The RFFW complaint was resolved on September 4, 2023 — with no further action indicated.

V. THE GREY WASH — How Legitimate Accounts Provide Cover
This is the technique: you can’t question 80 accounts if some of them are the Governor’s Residence Foundation.
THE GREY WASH STRUCTURE
═══════════════════════
LEGITIMATE (covers the desk):
Michigan Governors Residence Foundation ← Real charity
Michigan Education Excellence Foundation ← Real foundation
Transit Matters-MI ← Real transit advocacy
Fair and Equal Michigan ← Real civil rights
GRACE Fund ← Real community work
Coalition to Promote Public Entity Risk ← Real insurance
│
│ These LEGITIMATE accounts establish
│ credibility for the same desk that manages:
▼
DARK MONEY (the real product):
Save Detroit Jobs / Impact Detroit / Detroit Leaders ← 3 names, 1 entity
Our Neighborhoods First ← Anonymous donors
Put Progress First ← Anonymous donors
Blue Mitten Action ← $72K radio ads
Progress Can't Wait ← Anonymous donors
Michigan First Principles ← Anonymous donors
Michiganders for Progressive Values Fund ← Anonymous donors
Promoting Our Community's Future ← Anonymous donors
│
│ These accounts share the SAME DESK,
│ SAME TREASURER, SAME ADDRESS as:
▼
FRAUD (the ones that exploded):
Peninsula Fund ← $132K strip club, 13 felonies
RFFW LLC ← $1M money laundering complaint
Promise to the People ← Managed by SAME person as defendant's fundThis is not 80 separate organizations with 80 separate compliance assessments. This is one desk making one decision 80 times: “I have no duty to report.”
VI. THE “PROTECT/DETROIT/FUTURE” PATTERN
Count how many entities Moore manages with nearly identical names:
| Entity | EIN | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Detroiters to Protect Our Future | 86-3918838 | ? |
| Protecting Detroit’s Future | 88-4129156 | ? |
| Committee to Protect Detroit’s Future | 87-0821817 | ? |
| Protecting Michigan’s Future Fund | 83-3961442 | ? |
| Protecting Michigan Foundation | 86-1899504 | ? |
| Preserve Michigan’s Future Fund | 86-2210754 | ? |
Six entities. Six different EINs. Six separate IRS filings. All with nearly identical names. All managed by one person at one desk.
This is not governance. This is entity proliferation — creating multiple organizations with similar names to:
- Absorb search queries (SEO flooding)
- Make tracking donations impossible
- Allow money to flow between entities without detection
- Claim each entity is independent while sharing one compliance officer
VII. THE DYKEMA PAC — Where Moore’s Money Goes
Dykema Gossett Federal PAC (C00342113) — Moore is Treasurer. Both parties receive.
| Recipient | Party | Amount | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alabama First PAC | R | $2,000 | Feb 2024 |
| Dan Crenshaw for Congress | R | $2,000 | Feb 2024 |
| Debbie Dingell for Congress | D | $1,500 | Feb 2024 |
| Gerry Connolly for Congress | D | $1,000 | Feb 2024 |
| John James for Congress | R | $1,000 | Feb 2024 |
| Meuser for Congress | R | $1,000 | Feb 2024 |
| Moolenaar for Congress | R | $1,000 | Feb 2024 |
| NRSC | R | $1,000 | Feb 2024 |
| Quigley for Congress | D | $1,000 | Feb 2024 |
| Michigan Republican Party | R | varies | ongoing |
| DCCC | D | varies | ongoing |
| Stabenow for US Senate | D | $1,000 | historical |
| Friends of Carl Levin | D | $2,000 | historical |
| Nancy Pelosi for Congress | D | $1,000 | historical |
| Peter Hoekstra for Congress | R | $2,000 | historical |
47 federal candidates. 103 total contributions. Both parties. The desk doesn’t pick sides — it picks access.
VIII. THE QUESTION NO ONE HAS ASKED
Moore manages 54+ entities. She testified she has “no duty to report” illegal spending. She was named in a $1M money laundering complaint. The FEC flagged her filings.
How many of the other 50 entities have the same pattern as Peninsula Fund?
Peninsula Fund was only discovered because Chatfield was arrested. RFFW was only caught because someone filed a complaint. Hill Harper was only flagged because the FEC noticed vague descriptions.
For each of the 43 nonprofits where Moore serves as officer:
- Who audits them? Moore.
- Who files the 990s? Moore’s desk.
- Who reports questionable spending? Nobody. Moore testified she has no duty to.
- Who would notice? Only a complaint or an arrest.
The Odds
If 3 out of 54 accounts have known fraud patterns (Peninsula, RFFW, Promise to the People), that’s a 5.6% known fraud rate — and those were only discovered by external complaints, not internal compliance.
What is the actual rate across the other 51 accounts that haven’t been externally investigated?
IX. CROSS-REFERENCES
| Account | Cross-Reference | Connection |
|---|---|---|
| Peninsula Fund | → Chatfield criminal case | Moore testified as compliance officer |
| Promise to the People | → Peninsula Fund | Same person, same title, same desk — defendant and prosecutor |
| RFFW LLC | → Meyers complaint | Moore named as treasurer filing fraudulent reports |
| Save Detroit Jobs | → Wilk dark money entities | Wilk formed, Moore manages |
| Our Neighborhoods First | → Wilk dark money entities | Same pattern as Save Detroit Jobs |
| Put Progress First | → Wilk dark money entities | Same pattern |
| Hill Harper for Michigan | → FEC RFAI | Vague disbursement descriptions flagged |
| Dykema PAC | → Both parties | 47 candidates, R and D, from one desk |
| Simon Group Holdings PAC | → NEW (Oct 2026) | Filed DURING this investigation |
| Detroiters for Our Children | → Purpose Charter Academy? | “For Our Children” — which children? Banks’ students? |

The Bottom Line
One desk. One phone number (517-374-9121). One email (rmoore@dykema.com). 18 years. 54+ entities. Both parties. $1,000,000+ in known undisclosed money.
And she testified: “I have no duty to report.”
The legitimate accounts — Governor’s Residence, Transit Matters, GRACE Fund — are real. They do real work. But they provide cover for the desk that also manages Peninsula Fund’s strip club reimbursements, RFFW’s million-dollar money laundering, and the simultaneous compliance of the defendant’s fund and the prosecutor’s fund in the same criminal case.
If you are a donor, officer, or board member of ANY of the 54 entities listed above: your compliance officer is the same person who managed Lee Chatfield’s fund while it was used for personal expenses, who was named in a $1M money laundering complaint, and who testified she has no duty to report what she sees.
If you are the IRS: 43 nonprofits, one compliance officer, “no duty to report.” How many Form 990s are accurate?
If you are the FEC: you already flagged Hill Harper’s filings. Moore is treasurer of 5 more committees. How many have the same vague descriptions?
If you are the Michigan Department of State: you resolved the RFFW complaint with no further action. Moore is still treasurer of active committees. The pattern continues.
The desk is still open. The phone still rings. The “no duty” still applies. Until someone closes the desk.
