DEUTSCHE BANK

Deutsche Bank as stored employer text, 2008 as cycle

Employer and occupation groupings sit on one axis; election cycles sit on the other. Rows that match both — Deutsche Bank and 2008 — sum to $807,575. 437 itemized contributions and 218 unique donors produced it. The total is not an official organization disbursement and does not name recipients. Independent expenditures and committee transfers live in other FEC tables.

Neither the Deutsche Bank hub nor the 2008 election cycle hub is this number; each hub drops one of the two keys. Two hundred eighteen donors and 437 lines in 2008 sit under the two-word Deutsche Bank employer string. The AG suffix, if typed, can land in a neighboring key. U.S. bank brands typed instead of Deutsche Bank stay on their own pages. DEUTSCHE BANK AG, DB, CITIGROUP, BANK OF AMERICA, and BANKER occupation strings are other keys if stored separately.

20.7% of the Deutsche Bank roll

The grouping’s stored total across cycles is $3,910,743 ($3.91 million). The 2008 slice of $807,575 is about 20.7% of that running sum. Other even-year windows hold the remaining 79.3% ($3,103,168). Treating 2008 as the Deutsche Bank FEC story would ignore that remainder.

Treat $3,910,743 as the denominator for the 20.7% share. It is not market capitalization, not revenue, and not proof of a multi-year political program. The industry hub is the year index for this string. This tie keeps 2008 from being folded silently into $3,910,743.

Questions

How much did Deutsche Bank donors give in 2008?

FEC.gov aggregates show $807,575 in itemized individual contributions for the Deutsche Bank grouping in the 2008 cycle, across 437 contributions and 218 donors. That sum is not a PAC total and not the $3,910,743 all-cycle figure.

What share of Deutsche Bank FEC money is 2008?

The grouping’s all-cycle total is $3,910,743. The 2008 cell of $807,575 is about 20.7% of that figure. Other cycles hold the remaining 79.3% ($3,103,168) on the industry hub. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Deutsche Bank hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.

Is $807,575 the Deutsche Bank PAC total for 2008?

No. $807,575 is itemized individual contributions whose employer field grouped to Deutsche Bank in the 2008 cycle. It is not committee disbursements, not independent expenditures, and not a verified employee census. 437 contributions came from 218 donors. The overlay lists itemized rows for this cell; the Deutsche Bank hub holds other cycles; the 2008 election cycle hub holds other employer strings from the same window.
