Three Koch-Linked Groups Fined For Breaking Disclosure Laws

WASHINGTON ― Three nonprofit groups connected to the billionaire Koch brothers were fined by the Federal Election Commission for failing to disclose their donors in the 2010 elections.

American Future Fund, Americans for Job Security and 60 Plus Association all agreed to conciliation agreements with the FEC for accepting funds from the Center to Protect Patient Rights to spend on races specified by Sean Noble, the consultant in charge of CPPR. The three groups agreed to pay a combined total of $233,000 in fines. They were also forced to disclose that they were funded by CPPR, although this was already disclosed in tax filings made to the IRS.
