The rules around meals and leasing vehicles are lax, so crooks like this woman are just going out to eat at nice restaurants twice a day and billing it to their campaign. I'm sure Caroines was living it up for a while and then when the paperwork came due she realized her campaign couldn't afford all she spent.

Surprised Rudy didn't snatch her up when he was looking for a salaried girlfriend.
