It says William Tierney's share was more than $3 million; Robert Tierney's was more than $600,000; the candidates they claimed to be supporting got about $109,000.
The brothers allegedly paid an unnamed co-conspirator more than $250,000, with the rest going for fundraising expenses and other overhead.
The PACs cited in the case against the Tierneys were apparently named by plucking from the salad bowl of conservative buzzwords:
Grassroots Awareness PAC, Americans for Law Enforcement PAC, National Campaign PAC, Protect Our Future PAC, Voter Education PAC and Action Coalition PAC.
The complaint says the Tierneys managed three others:
Life and Liberty PAC, Republican Majority Campaign PAC and RightMarch.com PAC.
The PACs claimed to be raising money for causes such as autism awareness, a law enforcement coalition, an anti-abortion-rights committee, a Republican victory committee and a campaign to stop illegal immigration.
