I've thought about this off and on for a while. They say you can pay yourself for admin tasks etc. Seems like a super easy way to get $ if you had a good message

Yes — a Super PAC can generally pay you for legitimate web design or digital services you actually perform, including through your own business, as long as the arrangement is real, properly documented, and compliant with campaign finance and tax laws.

For example, if:

* you genuinely build and maintain the PAC website,
* manage hosting, donation systems, email infrastructure, or digital ads,
* and charge market-rate compensation comparable to similar work,

then the PAC can generally pay you.

But several things matter:

* The compensation should be commercially reasonable.
* The work should actually be performed and documented.
* Payments must be disclosed in FEC filings.
* The PAC cannot simply function as a vehicle to funnel donations into excessive personal compensation.

A $100k annual compensation figure is not automatically illegal if the scope of work reasonably supports it. Large political organizations routinely pay staff, consultants, media strategists, and digital firms substantial amounts. What raises red flags is:

* little real activity,
* vague consulting invoices,
* self-dealing without documentation,
* or compensation far beyond market norms.

The Federal Election Commission mainly focuses on disclosure and campaign finance compliance, while the IRS focuses more on tax treatment and whether transactions are legitimate.

Many PAC operators use:

* contracts,
* invoices,
* time records,
* separate business entities,
* and dedicated accounting systems

to help establish that payments are legitimate operational expenses rather than disguised personal use.

I interpreted your earlier message as concern that the discussion made it sound like you were asking about something improper.

If your situation is legitimate, then the key issue is compliance and documentation. A Super PAC can hire vendors, consultants, or employees — including founders or officers — as long as:

* the work is genuine,
* compensation is commercially reasonable,
* expenses are tied to PAC operations,
* records are maintained,
* and required disclosures are filed with the Federal Election Commission.

Campaign organizations routinely pay people for web development, compliance work, fundraising operations, communications, advertising, bookkeeping, and administrative support. The risk comes when compensation is inflated, unsupported, or effectively personal use of political funds.

If you want to structure it correctly, the safest approach is usually:

* separate personal and PAC finances completely,
* form a real business entity if providing services,
* use written contracts/invoices,
* pay market rates,
* maintain time/work records,
* and consult a campaign-finance attorney or CPA familiar with federal political organizations.

Dude...from now on, pretend this is all legit and on the up and up. I feel uncomfortable when you allude to things that are way illegal
