Unknown if cartel. But because the smurf money is a lot in total across all the states, this suggests major league players are sourcing the money. Anywhere from:

-- Soros

-- cartels

-- China

Tracing it is the problem. They picked small amounts that fall below legal requirements for bank reporting. That means any investigation will have to find a way to subpeona bank records of ActBlue and trace who deposited the money to some bank account - and the accounts may not be be of the people whose identity was stolen. The people names may be just shells over a secondary and anonymous account: with ActBlue doing to the assignment of deposited money values to a dummy name.

This genuinely IS a money laundering scheme, very deliberate. My guess is they take under the table returns, like FTX to Ukraine to banks back to the US, and launder that. Certain fraction comes directly from Soros/OSF, with his guaranteeing to the DNC, I'm sure of that. I bet some money from Hillary's Foundation too.
