COMMODITY TRADING CORP

Commodity Trading Corp crossed with 2012

This page is not a restatement of the employer hub and not a restatement of the 2012 cycle hub. It is the inner join: employer string in one column, two-year FEC cycle in the other. $1,675,000 is that match. Seven itemized gifts produced it. One unique donor produced those seven gifts.

Average gift size is about $239,286 if you divide $1,675,000 by 7. That average is a ratio, not a typical check, and it can mix several committees inside the same cycle. It is not a corporate treasury transfer.

The name on the form is the grouped employer text. The Commission does not certify that the donor was an officer, trader, or owner of an entity with that legal name.

About 41% of the grouping’s FEC total

$4,106,103 is every cycle combined. $1,675,000 in 2012 is about 40.8% of that stack. Other windows still hold a little more than 59%. A single cycle above 40% is a dominant chapter for this modest lifetime bucket, but it is not the entire employer story.

With one donor in the cell, the 40.8% share can be that person’s 2012 calendar rather than a change in a trading desk’s headcount. The table shows the split; it does not show the reason.

Questions

How much FEC money links Commodity Trading Corp to 2012?

The 2012-cycle cell is $1,675,000 in itemized individual contributions, from 7 contributions and 1 donor, per FEC.gov aggregates. That join is not PAC spending and not the grouping’s $4,106,103 all-cycle total. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Why is 2012 such a large share of this grouping?

Because $1,675,000 is about 40.8% of $4,106,103. With only one donor in the cell, a small number of large itemized gifts can dominate a modest lifetime bucket. The share is a table ratio, not a finding about a firm’s strategy.

Did the corporation donate $1,675,000?

The file is individual contributions tagged with the Commodity Trading Corp employer grouping. Individual receipts are personal gifts. They are not the same as a corporation writing a committee check. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Are these donations tied to federal awards?

No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal obligations are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the industry hub holds other cycles; the cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
