ROA CIRCULAR FUNDING FLOWS: Two confirmed circular grant flows detected. (1) APP <-> ROA: APP received .95M from ROA (2020-2023), while APP gave ROA .5K back (K 2022, .5K 2023, K 2021). Net: .06M from ROA to APP. (2) LIF <-> ROA: LIF received .80M from ROA (2021-2023), while LIF gave ROA .5K back (2021). Net: .72M from ROA to LIF. These circular flows may serve to create the appearance of diverse funding sources and establish mutual financial relationships that obscure the single-donor (Uihlein) dependency.
