gray money
noun1 funds that come from a unknown source because the contributor disclosed to the public is an intermediary that is not required to reveal its donors
Gray money is spending by super PACs that disclose other PACs as donors, making it impossible for the public to identify the actual funders without sifting through multiple layers of PAC disclosures.— The Atlantic
Gray money is particularly useful when partisan operatives and donors want to meddle on the other side of the aisle, as when supporting third-party candidates to siphon votes.— The New York Times
