The fine — laid out in detail in FEC documents that have yet to be made public — arose from an audit of the campaign, which was published in April. POLITICO obtained a copy of the conciliation agreement detailing the fine, which was sent to Sean Cairncross, the chief lawyer for the Republican National Committee, one of the groups that filed complaints about the campaign’s FEC reporting from 2008.
“$375,000 is a huge fine,” said Republican election lawyer Jason Torchinsky. “It may one of their top five- or ten-largest fines.”
But he added, “They’re also the first billion-dollar presidential campaign. Proportionally, it’s not out of line.”

And how many of those donations came from foreign countries?
What about INTEREST.
George Sorros paid this for Obama.
My calculator doesn't go to 51 Billion, so I can't divide it into the paltry 375,000, but on paper it comes to .0000074% of what he spent on the campaign. Oh, spank me harder! That really hurt!
I love it when we are told by our "leaders" (or their brainwashed minions" that THEIR crimes are not SO bad, "proportionally" speaking of course. Can't you imagine the drug dealer saying "Hey, it was only 350 pounds. Its less than a drop in the ocean. Proportionally speaking of course. So, what's the big deal?" Hint -- the laws are for "we, the people". Not them. Oh hell no. Not them.
