A source inside SIRCO sent O’Keefe Media Group this check - $2 million from Firmadge Crutchfield to the Susanville Indian Rancheria, dated Oct 17, 2025 - just days before our ATI exposé dropped.

That same day, the tribe’s meeting agenda shows Crutchfield presenting on SIRCO Federal Services, Inc. - a Section 17 federally chartered corporation owned by the tribe.

The insider from Susanville Indian Rancheria described SIRCO's structure that uses tribal & minority contracting advantages across multiple companies - all tied to Firmadge Crutchfield, forming a network of “Super 8(a)” federal contractors.

SIRCO uses its tribal 8(a) status to win government contracts, 51% tribe-owned on paper, paying the tribe a cut like you see here, to use its name and claim “Native-owned” 8a status.

ATI received HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of $ in government contracts - but they are just ONE example of this SBA 8a fraud.

How many other government contractors are engaging in the same scheme & how many taxpayer dollars have been wasted?

This 8a fraud goes much deeper than ATI & we will get to the bottom of it. The American taxpayer deserve justice.

According to then NY AG Letitia James, “Charitable organizations, including houses of worship that receive a tax exemption pursuant to section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), are prohibited from participating in any political campaign on behalf of a candidate for public office.”

This includes:
“Making statements in support of, or in opposition to, a candidate or a political party, whether orally, recorded, or in writing, including by in-person distribution, mail, email, text, or posting on social media or the internet;”

New York Election Law § 17-212 prohibits deception or intimidation influencing voter registration or voting, including false endorsements or causing vote for/against candidates. This applies to all people whether acting under color of law or not.

According to the La Jornada website, their primary focus is, “assisting migrants with their paperwork and legal needs”

Stay tuned for more during our election day special Tuesday at 1pm.
