I agree that the Chinese organizers might be pocketing the extra money themselves.

Which begs the question of why Trudeau has become so entwined with these people, inviting them to Ottawa for official dinners with the Chinese government, etc.

Like the ties that were discovered between the mafia and Liberal fundraisers in Quebec,  Trudeau has to have wondered where all the money was coming from. We need a Charbonneau type commission at the federal level.
