In reply to the discussion: DSA sent out a letter telling DSA candidates and elected officials to no longer work with Morris Katz or Fight Agency [View all]lapucelle
(21,401 posts)in 2022 after Summer Lee's campaign reported that there were three sexual misconduct complaints against him, so that tie was cut, and, because Moraff is no longer a member of DSA, they were already not working *directly* with him, so there are no punitive measures to take.
Katz was essentially the "clean partner" of a dirty scheme and Moraff was heavily reliant on Katzs mainstream credibility to secure clients. By demanding that elected officials completely cut ties with Fight Agency and Morris Katz, the DSA targetted the financial engine of the operation. This ensured that, because Katz could no longer profit from his grift, Moraff will no longer get his cut.
With the Platner campaign, Katz and Kompany were skimming 15% of the campaign donations as "consultant fees", exploitive capitalism at its worst.
There's speculation that the ploy of demanding that Platner have a say in his replacement was, in fact, Katz / Fight Agency's attempt to secure the replacement as a client so they could continue to profit off this debacle.
