Increase: $23,965,520 (+809.1%)

...the *PERFECT* way to funnel ill-gotten gains to a person without those pesky IRS folks or other regulatory/investigative persons sticking their noses into your financial affairs.

Uh, yes. And if you happened to watch Rachel Maddow last night, Elaine Chou is in a bit of hot water for not divesting herself of companies that she was required to do. As head of the Dept of Transportation she apparently is making tons of money on a company that crushes rock and is used to a great extent, in road construction. Convenient, don't you think.
