Political profiteering: McAuliffe turned a $100,000 initial investment in the company into $18 million in less than a year and a half - a nifty 18,000% profit. According to the New York Times, McAuliffe made millions more trading the stock and options after the company went public in 1998.
Mr. McAuliffe arranged for Mr. Winnick to play golf with President Clinton, and the Global Crossing founder contributed $1 million for the Clinton Presidential Library.
On information and belief, in exchange for a political payoff or gratuity that was ultimately worth approximately $18 million to him, McAuliffe knowingly arranged, participated in, aided and abetted, and substantially assisted Winnick's payment of a $1 million gratuity to Clinton in exchange for official actions, favorable treatment, and favors from Clinton, in violation inter alia of 18 U.S.C. §§ 201, 371, and 600.
McAuliffe is a direct participant, aider and abettor, and co-conspirator in the unlawful, unfair, and fraudulent acts, omissions, and schemes. (Source: Judicial Watch, May 6, 2002; "HOWARD B. THOMPSON, et. al. v. LI KA-SHING; GARY K. WINNICK, et. al.")
