Abhijit 'Beej'' Das ran in the 2018 Democratic primary for Massachusetts' 3rd Congressional District.
A Massachusetts businessman who once ran for the U.S. House of Representatives, was convicted Friday on charges that he accepted illegal campaign contributions and used campaign funds for business expenses and debts, federal prosecutors said Friday., 50, of North Andover, Mass., was convicted of one count of accepting excessive campaign contributions, one count of conduit contributions, one count of conversion of campaign funds, and two counts of making a false statement.
Prosecutors said Das schemed to circumvent federal campaign finance laws. Among the allegations was that he solicited at least $125,000 in illegal campaign contributions from friends and other close associates during his run in 2017 and 2018. He took these contributions in the form of personal loans to avoid Federal Election Commission reporting requirements, which cap these kinds of contributions at $2,700. He then claimed the money as his own and made illegal contributions to his campaign.
“Protecting our elections through campaign finance laws is crucial in defending transparency and accountability in our government and a well-functioning democracy,” said Acting United States Attorney Joshua S. Levy in a press release. “He abused the campaign finance process and thought he could get away with it.
