Kim Dotcom: Banks knew about 'anonymous' Dotcom donation - reports - April 27, 2012
Banks knew about 'anonymous' Dotcom donation - reports
By John Campbell
Kim Dotcom is the latest person to have been found to have allegedly donated money anonymously to John Banks.
It is already known that in the race to be super city mayor, Sky City donated $15,000 each to the two front runners.
Len Brown listed Sky City as a donor but Mr Banks did not.
Campbell Live was interested in that because we had heard Kim Dotcom had made a donation three times that size to the John Banks mayoralty campaign.
Campbell Live has even been told Mr Banks was so grateful that he called Dotcom to thank him for it.
An investigation found that like the Sky City donation, the Dotcom donation appears to be listed as anonymous.
The question is why?
The Dotcom camp is adamant Banks knew the money was from them.
Police expected to investigate Banks' campaign donations
Mr Banks declined to do an on-camera interview, but it does seem that he did not always decline invitations concerning Kim Dotcom.
Footage from Dotcom’s birthday party shows him telling visitors to raise their glasses as he proposes a toast to the Megaupload millionaire and his family.
Banks has admitted that he visited the Dotcom mansion.
What is in dispute, however, is how many times.
Kim Dotcom says the birthday party was not the only occasion Mr Banks visited, saying he once sent his helicopter into Auckland to collect Mr Banks from the central city landing strip at Mechanic's Bay, and fly him out to the Dotcom Mansion.
But Mr Banks does not remember whether that happened or not.
