# Yass 10M to V PAC August 2026 On **August 10, 2026**, [[Jeff Yass]] gave **$10,000,000.00** to [[V PAC Victors Not Victims]], the Republican super PAC supporting [[Vivek Ramaswamy]] for governor of Ohio. The contribution was not disclosed until **October 15, 2026** — **sixty-six days later**, and eighteen days before the election — on the committee's quarterly report. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Contributor | **YASS, JEFF**, 401 City Avenue Ste 220, Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania; occupation **Managing Director**, employer **Susquehanna** | | Recipient | **V-PAC: VICTORS, NOT VICTIMS**, FEC committee **C00892919**, PO Box 72100, Newport, Kentucky | | Amount | **$10,000,000.00** | | Contribution date | **2026-08-10** | | Schedule / line | Schedule A, line **11(a)(i)** — contribution from an individual | | Transaction ID | `SA11A.906480` | | Disclosed | **Form 3X**, file **2023557**, `F3XN` (original, not an amendment), coverage **2026-07-01 to 2026-09-30**, received **2026-10-15**, signed by treasurer **Brittaney King** | | Aggregate on the filing | **$20,000,000.00** — see the note below; this is calendar-2026, not cycle-to-date | | Entity type | `IND`; no memo flag on field 42, so this is live money and not a restated attribution | > [!note] The aggregate column is calendar-2026, not the cycle total > The filing's aggregate column reads **$20,000,000.00** against this row. Yass's calendar-2026 > contributions to this committee are $5,000,000.00 (January 12) + $5,000,000.00 (March 27) + > $10,000,000.00 (August 10) = **$20,000,000.00**, which is internally consistent. His **cycle** > contributions include a further **$10,000,000.00 dated 2025-03-06** (file 1907313), so the > cycle-to-date total is **$30,000,000.00**. The aggregate column's meaning is filer-dependent and is > derived here rather than quoted. See [[Yass 20M to V PAC Ramaswamy Ohio]] for the first three tranches. ## Why it matters **It makes one man the majority funder of a governor's race.** Before this tranche, press reporting in July put Yass at $20 million of a roughly $42 million committee — already the largest single source. At $30,000,000.00 he is the dominant funder of the outside money in an Ohio gubernatorial general election, and the second-largest individual backer, [[Ratmir Timashev]], is at $10,000,000.00 after his own September tranche. See [[Timashev 5M to V PAC September 2026]]. **The disclosure gap is the structural fact, and it is not an irregularity.** V-PAC is a quarterly filer. Money that arrived on August 10 owed no disclosure until October 15. The committee entered the quarter with **$25,852,229.95** on hand — a figure that reconciles with the *Ohio Capital Journal*'s July report of "$25.8 million in cash on hand at the end of the second quarter" — and spent through the summer while the public record showed the pre-primary donor list. The ads ran on August money; the voters learned whose money in October. **Ohio is where the tech-right's state strategy is most legible.** Yass, [[Elon Musk]] and Timashev are all on this committee's donor list, and all three are tech-fortune donors backing a candidate drawn from the same world rather than from the party's officeholder class. Ohio is a strategic-anchor state in the [[Project 2025]] federalism architecture, and the gubernatorial office is the lever. ## See Also - [[Jeff Yass]] · [[Vivek Ramaswamy]] · [[Ratmir Timashev]] · [[Elon Musk]] - [[V PAC Victors Not Victims]] · [[OH-Gov-2026]] - [[Yass 20M to V PAC Ramaswamy Ohio]] · [[Timashev 5M to V PAC September 2026]] - [[Super PACs]] · [[Dark Money]] - [[Deals Hub]]
