#2Donation PatternProbable

Donation-Trade Timing Correlation (10 instances)

Austin Scott received 10 donations within 90 days of stock trades from overlapping interests, totaling $6,942,192. Notable donors include AUSTIN SCOTT VICTORY FUND, JAMES AUSTIN, THE COCA-COLA COMPANY NONPARTISAN COMMITTEE FOR GOOD GOVT.

Records suggest temporal correlation between financial contributions and trading activity in related sectors.
